Built to Spill - "You Were Right"

Make an inference about the lyrical content of the song and explain it.
This is a post-breakup song. The lyrics all point to the end of a relationship. For instance, the singer writes "You were right when you said this was the end," as well as "You were wrong when you said everything's gonna be alright."

Write one analytic statement about the musical content of the song and explain it.
The musical content is much like a punk/pop ballad. The band uses instruments characteristically used in the genre, such as electric guitars, drums, etc. There is also a featured guitar solo that is often found in this genre. This is also much like a ballad because it is a sentimental song, describing a story in short stanzas. However, ballads usually have a slow tempo, unlike the punk/pop genre, which usually has a faster tempo.

Make one evaluative statement about the songs overall effectiveness and support it. 
The song isn't very effective due to the conflicting lyrical and musical content. As stated before in the previous paragraphs, though the lyrical content is more melancholy and sad, the fast paced music destroys the feel. This leaves the listener wondering what the single effect and purpose of the song was.
