I will say AGAIN:

To cover a song and make it different and interesting - without insulting the original singer and/or songwriter is extremely creative. Since many covers are done of songs that are considered "anthems" or "classics" or defining of one genre or another, I consider it more difficult at times than performing one of your own original pieces. Of course, that is IMHO...

Insightful. I agree whole-heartedly (or however you spell it).

Sorry to say it, but compared to Golden Sand and Buildings and Mountains, this is the musical equivalent of a church bake sale. You are going to buy the lemon squares even though they look dried out because Grandma will kick your ass if you don't buy SOMETHING.

I used to listen to this on my Walkman on the bus to college at the crack of freakin' dawn. College was an hour and a half away by bus and we passed through farmland along the way. This song would always hit at the same spot on the journey, where we passed these big flat fields with mist hanging at about kneecap level and the sun would just be above the horizon. I will forever associate that image with this song.

I'm metastatic and one of the things I amuse myself with at work is creating a soundtrack to my death. When my mom was in hospice, no one told us the signs of impending death and instead of hearing calm, she heard us freaking out. I'm thinking that her last thought was that my sister and I had to stop being such ninnies - that being a favorite comment made to us and especially to me.

This song is on the top of my list. I don't want sad b/c I when the time comes, I don't want to delay my passage by thinking about sad things - I want music that feels calm and 'pretty' and which might be reassuring to my husband, sister and cousin.

I don't mean this to be morbid. I have a concurrent list called 'Things to play during Remission Periods'. Lots of dance tracks on that one!

So, you want a little insight into why the sullying of the song comments irks me so much? There it is. Right there.

Because in amongst the honest gripes and raves and "I like it"/"I don't like it"s, you get something like this. And I don't really want to have to wade through 50-odd self indulgent, faux-ebonic proclamations of dancing per song to read them. Selfish? Damn right.

Cheers, bailey_comus. I hope your journey is/was peaceful, and I hope that your family did get the reassurance they needed. Thanks for the dose of perspective.

There's the usual crap in the RP comments but several very nice thoughts too. But the comments on YouTube... wow.

(Nowhere near a public restroom...) Posted: Oct 02, 2012 - 17:48 < Reply > I've had nights where I lay awake with insomnia - literally can't get to sleep - and this song will drift in and out of my head with a Cheshire Cat-like persistence. Other times I've been sick with some ailment and in my feverish half-sleep this song will drown out all other sounds or thoughts. If I had a time machine, and believe me this is in no way hyperbolic, if I had a time machine the first thing I'd do is go back in time and find a way to keep the BoDeans from ever forming as a band.

But you're thinking, "Wouldn't you go back in time and stop Hitler or Pol Pot or someone like that?" No I wouldn't, because I'd have a time machine silly. I could go back in time AFTER stopping the BoDeans from forming.

That's right, I've thought this through.
