I'll second that comment.

Hum. I have to say, I prefer the version off Cruel Sun.

Wow, this is Rusted Root? Love the female gypsy Dead Can Dance style background singing...

for a second i thought this was they might be giants...

a mix of emotions..pretty

wow rusted root gets cosmic...

This band has kinda grown on me. Kinda like The Talking Heads did... Quite Likable at the moment. Solid 7.

That was my favorite part, also. Sounded a little middle Eastern...

What you said.

What an annoying band this is.

The female vocals on this tune is what really makes the song for me. The only bummer is that Jenn or Liz (I'm not sure who's doing the wailing in the bridge, and at the very end) only get a few bars to do their thing. That bit sends shivers up my spine every time.

Actually, the original version of this song is AWESOME (it's on Cruel Sun). This remix, however, doesn't do it justice...

hehe ive never heard of them before. this one sounds dumb tho :(

this group has some GREAT tunes............ this aint one of em

screw studio versions! studio music is for the musically inept. This is right on.

Sounds like a chorus of cats at one point. :???:

Well, I get drunk with Mike (lead singer) in the local bars here in Pittsburgh. I have known them for about 12 years. One night we had a great conversation about life and such. I used to see them when they were still students at Pitt. I knew right from the start these guys were going to famous. I do feel that the lyrics can be rather wierd. Like " I want to hold my hand" After 12 years, I still get strange vibes when I hear that...I never told Mike that, Maybe I was not that drunk...He is good guy...he drives around a piece of shit Nissan.

Good pick, but studio version is much better than this!

I'm sooo tired of hearing this song on RP....uncle...

Went to see Santana last night, and the best thing of all was that Rusted Root was opening the show. They are definitely a live act to catch. It would have been better if they were a headliner, as their set was much too short! They wound up their set with "Drum Trip" leading into "Ecstasy" which really got the crowd warmed up for Santana

the original studio recording is much better, but this is cool aswell.

nope...you'd be just as annoyed. originally a pittsburgh band, i've heard quite enough of them for the past 15 yrs or so (not that i'm counting, or sure of that number even) to last me a lifetime.

I used to Wonder if all Rusted Root songs sound the same.
Now I know. feh

I saw One World Tribe play Milestone's in Rochester! Great band.

The lyrics i found at http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Studio/7341/rusted_root.html suggest it's "Coldness all around".

Regardless, though i can't seem to get a single coherent interpretation out of the lyrics, it's not much of a stretch to suggest this song is about nuclear winter and the Cold War (which you may have subconsciously noticed to come up with "Commies all around").

I have no idea about "moobidiya-HEY!" either, but i like it anyway.

Fredonia does have great bars, and great bands play at them.. One World Tribe is a great band in particular that i think may get some more recognition soon.

Next time I hear this song Platy, I am going to count how many times I hear "moobiddya-hey". Before I was paying attention I counted 5. This guy's vocals suck big time. I believe all you kind folks who like this band live and appreciate their musicianship. I might change my mind if I see them live as well.

Don't worry. I hear it too all over this song. Perhaps he says "over our heads" ??

What I want know is whats up the line "Shiver in the dark, Commies all around"

I'm growing to like Rusted Root, but can't see myself ever buying one of their CDs. RP gives me all the Rusted Root I need. More than that would be an overdose of the Root.

how about ANOTHER R.R. song?! why always this one??
