Excellent song....Should be followed by Wheel from High Violets

This song gets better upon re-hearing. The rest of the album .. not so much. Le sigh. Anybody want a slight used copy?

Edit: had to had this quote and comment: Best lyric explanation EVER:

WOW - this is good!

This has taken a while but it is really growing on me.

According to another website....:

...."it's about standing still while time and the world passes you by, about not being able to move on in life. It's about having dreams that you can see but can't grasp..."so you can't hold a star in your hand though at least you can hold on to another plan" You can't reach them but at least you have a plan. The "rusted wheel planted still" is a metaphor for a person standing still. Picture an old rusted wheel planted in the ground (some people actually have these in their yards/gardens), the song goes through seasons, summer and winter while the rusted wheel is planted still. The end of the song changes the lyrics to "so you can't hold a star in your hand though at least you can move on to that better plan rusted wheel planted still, rusted wheel can't move on". I catch a hint of sarcasm and sadness with these lines. It's like saying yeah you have a plan, a dream, but you can't go forward, you can't move on.

Ah, sweet. Finally I can turn the mute button off. Thanks for this one, Bill.

"rusted wheel planted still".

I thought it was "rusted wheel playin it still"

What the heck is this song about?

Great melody but the lyrics are weak.

This song just draws you in.

And their products are ugly and poorly designed.

Yeah, I like this group and I really don't want to get sick of them... but it's slowly happening.

Interesting comment. Being a PC user, I may be inclined to agree.

I don't think Apple is inherently evil, I think they are inherently control freaks, and that makes them do evil things. Microsoft, on the other hand, is inherently evil.

This did the same for me. Okevil River is the same way. Sounds real nice here on RP but the whole album is just not doing it for me.

Interesting how some music attracts me to the point of buying it right away. Then after several listens, it has lost its appeal..This is one of them..My dilemma-I guess

I really dig this band.

I totally thought you were being ironic when you asked that.



My gf and I had a debate about the gender of the lead singer for two weeks after she put a song of theirs on a mixtape for me. We had to sit and watch the video on youtube before we could both accept it.

Final determination: Doesn't matter what they have between their legs, this band is AMAZING

After all those listens here on RP this is still a GREAT song. Let's see what the follow up to Carnavas will bring...
