It's a beauty.  They played it in Elizabethtown, right?  I think I remember that.  Ohhh what scene was that?  Probably a good one.

Yer, one of my favs for sure.
Like the good chief said "so mellow and relaxing, spiritual and sublime."
I honestly can't help me smile when I hear it...

It's the art of feeling naked in your clothes - I love that line!!!

Yes, yes yes! That line is fantastic. Chief's right. This song is one that requires many listens. I also love the way he sings "it never ends.."

Deanna, I honestly don't recall it being played in the film.  ??? Anyone?

[sweatboard]

Yeah, it's when he and his cousin (the drummer for rukus) are walking out in the street right after they have that talk where the cousin says "yeah, my dad and I aren't very close either" I guess the song actually starts while they are having that talk at the kitchen table and then keeps playing while they are walking outside and then they pan up to the stars and it's a great moment.  Did you know they almost used Gideon in the film to.  It was during a driving scene with stars.  MMJ and the night sky seem to go hand in hand.  

Anyway, yeah that song absolutly kills.  I had the pleasure of hearing it live.  I was holding Anna Beth (wife) really close and I swear Jim looked out at us and smiled.

Good call 8)


This song definitely has one of my favorite lines ever, though.  

"That feelin' takin' over,
Like a holy rollercoaster,
To the grave."

Gives me chills every time.

[Dee.]

Thanks, Brian.  That's the scene!

Now I remember the s.  

[ChiefOKONO]

does anyone know the story behind this song?
was it written specifically for the movie, etc??

[BH]

Ah yes.  Stoned and Where to Begin.  And Rollin' Back. And....oh hell I don't have time for this.

[sweatboard]

Yeah, I was going to start with the intro to At Dawn then I was like fuck it.......they already know.  ;)
