Title: Come Closer (MMJ/Songs: Ohia Split)
Post by: habbyflabbyblabby on Sep 22, 2005, 07:25 PM
Hey, nothing too profound from me here, but I was wondering if anyone else interpreted this lyric from "Come Closer" ["toes 'cross the floor," hear it play] as a reference to Blind Melon, who have a song called "Toes Across the Floor."

Hadn't noticed that but we know that Jim is a Blind Melon fan (he dedicated I Still Miss Someone to Shannon once) so could be?
Interesting...

Hey, I know this is over a decade later, but in the line before he sings "so today I won't call anyone for a change," which is a reference to another Blind Melon song entitled "Change." Both of these bands are one of my favorites, I have the tattoos to show it.

Come Closer will always be in my top 5 Jacket songs...totally encapsulates the child-like wonder and mystery of adulthood in one package...i don't understand how it can be this good...i LONG to hear the 2012 Columbus version, that some were fortunate enough to hear, they said it was a bit heavier  :cheesy:
