to quote the comments,
"I feel like when you combine a happy song with a sad one, it gets emotionally charged with positivity in such a way that you can't achieve with either one on their lonesome.
Both of the songs positive aspects eliminate each others negative ones, and it's awesome!
all star is positive, but lacks real emotion: it lacks a real tune, it's way to goofy.
And september ends is emotional, but way too depressing to the point where it just gets cheesy.
Both of the bad parts just disappear when you combine the songs, and it's absolutely amazing.
Emotions are like music, layers."
it hit me right in the layers
