I'll need Shallow Hal's Tony Robbins goggles to enjoy this song.

I never saw the movie, but came here to say how cookie-cutterish this song is. I concur with the Hootie comment. 2

It's actually the name of an album.  Maybe you should use that cover art as a number of people can't get past the movie association.  Ellis is  very good. 8.  He has many, many good songs.

I gave it a 5 for the lyrics, which I can really relate to. The song itself is oof ... I keep thinking of Hootie and the Blowfish being played on the loudspeaker at the Mall.

 Can't quite place the accent, but I've never heard the like in a natural setting. Am I wrong to call this an affectation?

Haven't seen the movie, because I didn't care for the premise. I don't know Ellis Paul's other work. But I have to say that this is one hell of a lyric, and that makes the song at least an 8 to me.

Bless your sweet mistakes
That crumble you down to your knees;
That brought you to this place,
Changing you by degrees
When change was just what you needed...

"And if you love the girl man, light up a torch
Blaze a trail to her front porch
Kiss her til your lips are scorched
Til the rain comes down on you"

Love that verse!

Less histrionic than that Buckley guy . . . but not enough so.  No, not nearly enough.

It's a much more acoustic and thoughtfull than this, but I can't get enough of it. If you want something by him get Speed of Trees first, then get the live album.
Whilst his web site has a bizare low quality sampler of the live CD (Radio free Ellis) it's quality realy lets it down and loses most of the feeling that makes me like the album.


I just bought the Live album also--and have the same response--I keep playing both CD's over and over.

I agree it reminds me of Angie as well (who is absolutely phenomenal live).

Maybe we could get a little Angie played on here? I would definitely prefer it over this one.

Ellis isn't as "edgy" as Angie can be. But I like them both!
