A beautiful tune from the Dan, with a spectacular guitar solo.

Is 'Next' better than 'One' ?

Wow, deep cut Dan. Haven't heard this in ages and it's sounding very nice.

Boy has this song aged well.  And this from their debut album — they were just getting started.

What were they thinking with that terrible cover art for the album? Just plain bad. Maybe someone ok'd the cover art...and then they came up with this title track.

For some reason this strikes me as one of the the very best songs, ever.  It's ability to mood-alter in a positive way is strong.

Just recently saw them in Boca Raton, FL in an amphitheatre. It was pretty obvious Don doesn't think Boca is home to the most fervent of Dan fans, they did a very "AM radio" set of songs and walked off, no encore, but OMG I thought they were AMAZING. If only they'd done "Don't Take Me Alive" I'd have died right there of happiness.
