This becomes my week-long earworm every time I hear it.

At one point I thought he sang something about Leslie Nielsen and had to look up the lyrics. It was actually "endlessly kneeling". Surely, I was disappointed.

Perhaps you could not share your superior views with those of us who are mere morons. We find it boring and offensive. Thank you. |

It is a little melodramatic, but not enough to make me change the station. It's a nice melody, really, but not a tune I'd like to hear too often. It sort of reminds me of "Massachusetts" or some other early tune by The Bee Gees. |

Yes I really like Joan Osborne's version. I'd over heard once and had to research it because it so capture me. This version just simply does nothing for me other than hope it passes soon. |

He has kids and is playing in a variety of bands in Charleston. At the concert, he played bass for Blind Melon and backed a local "all star" band fronted by Danielle Howle. It was an amazing night.

Yes, I am from South Carolina too, but not a fan of JLJ. However, I am a huuuge fan of Danielle Howle and I did try to get some of her tunes uploaded, they made it to review did not do well and got axed.  Oh well, I tried to get her some national exposure anyway.  |

Yea, I am done with it too. They are a local band so I have been hearing it a lot longer than most here. |

I find it disturbing that people exist who aren't suffering under the pain of the whole world. The world is full of pain and suffering. What conditioning were you exposed to that you don't let that suffering touch you? Compassion is a virtue sir. |

Yay, Jump Little Children! I used to follow that band around in college. When I say "follow around" I mean literally. Sleeping in parking lots, getting coffee for Jay. Fun to hear them on RP in my now regular life.

This song is not something to listen to if you want to, say, jack up your heart rate and burn calories. It's more geared for a mellow, rainy day with a fire in the fireplace, something cinnamon-y baking in the oven, and everyone tucked in and accounted for. And don't listen to the words, because that will put a whole different slant on the song and change the ambiance.  Yes, that's it exactly. Thanks. C'mere, let me show you my upright bass... |

Yes, it is one of those songs the first couple of times you hear it you may actually like or at least think is OK, but the more and more you hear it.......  |
