not to go all godfather on this song, but I've almost totally lost any desire to hear this song. It is wasted potential. there's some really nice music there, but they've never figured out, IMHO, how to make it work. sounds so forced to me. Now, I'm not saying it couldn't be a great song, and I actually think hearing a studio version would help significantly, allowing them to give the song some focus and clarity.

I wouldn't be so quick to write it off, I don't think it's really been played consistently enough yet to say the band has settled on a particular approach to it, though i'll agree the current take is not optimal.

I missed this: "I love you more than you bring me down"
If Squirm sticks around, which it certainly should, there's hope for this.

I guess this song doesn't matter to Dave anymore?

This version has so much musical depth to it. Feels like a whole song. But same thing happened to Sugar Will. With each passing way, something else is stripped from it. |

I think it's more because when they decide to relearn the song and bust it out, they only play it once a tour or just a few times. They probably just relearn the basic parts and add some "new" flare to it that they think of as they practice or play along. They probably don't take the time to relearn exactly how they played it years ago. If they played the songs more often I bet they would become more intricate.

It sure as hell matters to me. It's one of my favorite and most desired songs to hear. It would be great to hear this one truly be finished off

Song got progressively worse imo. I wanted to love it b/c it had some really great parts, but it never came together. Unless they actually put some thought into the arrangement and lyrics, I really don't have any desire to hear this again.

Better than half of the Big Whiskey songs. Dave can't just strum along on it. The lyrics work when he keeps the screaming to a minimum.

i really hate that about them. they put it away, and bring it back two years later minus its soul. how hard is it to go back and listen to a couple tapes?

I have a hard time listening to any other version than this version from Charlottesville. I hate how the term tightening up comes about it and songs like Sugar Will and Shotgun are completely different.
