Come Closer...

maybe I've mentioned this before, but if you listen to this tune and it doesn't melt your heart into a puddle of squishy remains, you're either dead or heartless.  wow, what a feeling it projects.  flawless.

and it's not a radio hit because....

well said, John.

I was just listening to this song while washing dishes.  The live solo version from London 4 Feb '03 is beautiful, just Jim and electric guitar.  But it cuts off just before the end.  I got it off the FTP - has anyone else had this problem, or did it just mess up when I downloaded it?

wow revealing post there Mr. Domestic  ;).  If you're talking about Jim's gig at the garage, yeah that whole set is f'd up none of the tracks play all the way through and I still can't figure why--it pisses me off because I really like the version of "Everybody's Talkin'" Jim starts to play >:(

[peanut butter puddin surprise]

topic bump!  listening to this masterpiece right now, and just pondering its beauty and musical perfection.  i am in awe of its awesomeness.  more thoughts?

[EC]

My thought is that I need to get that damn record - ever since you first talked about that song I've wanted to hear it.

[The Boar]

Damnation, guys, what an awesome song. On the Sweatbees EP, I'm not sure there is better follow-up song to OITOTIR....

[otter]

I thought it was a Todd Rundgren cover the first couple times I'd heard it...it sounded so familiar before I even knew the song...a lot of their stuff does that to me...that's why I like this band so much.

[lyricjunkie]

Well.
This song and this band will forever remind me of tenderness...even when they rock out!  I love them so...and am so very fond of the man who introduced their music to me.

Special place in my soul for both. :)

i just got the Split EP yesterday. I love this song. I want to to cover it at a coffee house or something. My only question is, it doesn't sound liek he's saying "send off with you" but more like "be off with you". I can't figure this out because neither way really makes all that much sense to me. It's an awesome song, but that one bit int he lyurics has me a little confused.

[EC]

Well, if it IS in fact about waiting all day to sleep with someone that you're really excited about...  you could imagine that "send off" or "be off" (be being the "be" like "I am") is a metaphor..  Is this making sense without me getting too graphic?

or, alternately, if you're the kind of person who has to be in the spotlight all the time, then you might feel like you're constantly being "on".  Not in the fake sense, but, you know, you can't really just sit in a corner and be quiet if you're getting interviewed or photographed all the time.  So maybe he meant that he's just looking forward to being "off" with a person that he could be that with.  

(I prefer the sexy version.)  I hear the word "be" instead of "send", too.
