Hearing this here is for some reason such a surprise. It's a great song, but I never imagined I would hear it anywhere except on the album... funny. Gray is so complicated, but then again, so is life.

I'm shocked at all the hating going on. I find a lot of Live's later stuff sappy, but I've always thought this was a beautiful song (and album). Comparisons to Creed or others must go in reverse -- Live, for better or worse, was one of the instrumental bands in creating a particular 90's (pop) rock sound.

Hideously disappointing. Have owned Throwing Copper since it cam out and there are some corking tracks on it.
Strangely, however, never inspired to buy anything else by them. Thank the good lord, it would seem

Kinda sounds like a Jethro Tull tune minus the flute.

we need to get something positive to the top here. i think all the nay-sayers need to listen to the whole album and remember when alternative actually meant something |

Terrible. Blech. Banal lyrics and a lousy singer.

Absolutely. This is the most banal, trite crap I've heard since "I Am Woman (Hear Me More)". And at least that was a product of Helen R's time.

Scott S tapp is the singer for Creed, not Live.
I can't stand this or Creed, though. |

Man, I like me some Live, but this is a solid 1.
The colors must swirl? Wow, I know he has a message to get across, but these lyrics suck.

I don't know about Live, actually I do. My only memory of listening to Live was seeing two skanky longhaired flannel toting grungers leaning up against the juke box at the local pool hall. They just played an entire Live album. BASTARDS!!!

Do read some of Krishnamurti's (Jiddhu that is) work and you will understand where their lyrics are coming from. Up until that album, Live was big time into Krishnamurti's philosophy. It will give all the nay-sayers and people who comment "corny" some context. Of course, while I like this song, I understand the beauty of gray and value your comments :)

Ultimately what they believe or we believe is inconsequential.

To me this song is not about having no beliefs, but about being able to hold one's beliefs while also being aware that, as fallible human beings with limited knowledge, no one of us ever really has the whole story about anything.
Unfortunately, I don't believe this track is very good! |
