![]() Jubilee (1998) [ larger cover art ] |
Sleepy rhythms were lulling us
Trolling down a long canal
Onto savage shores and gilded floors
Of coliseums through the load-in door
Certain of this one thing
Certain of this one thing
Certain of this one thing
That super slow motion got the upper hand on me
On me
On me
Holy visions had ceased to come
My tongue was numb and I was feeling tired
Crying out in a wordless howl
Screeching off to the underground
Certain of this one thing (of this one thing)
Certain of this one thing (of this one thing)
Certain of this one thing (of this one thing)
That super slow motion got the upper hand on me
On me
On me
On me
Sleepy rhythms were lulling us
Syrup sweet and poisonous
How I found my way back I'm not sure
Through the channels and little streets that curve
Certain (certain) of this one thing (of this one thing)
Certain of (certain of) this one thing (this one thing)
Certain (certain) of this one thing (of this one thing)
That super slow motion got the upper hand on me
On me
On me
On me
Certain (certain) of this one thing (of this one thing)
Certain of (certain of) this one thing (this one thing)
Certain (certain) of this one thing (of this one thing)
That super slow motion got the upper hand on me
On me
On me
On me
On me
On me
On me
On me
On me
On me
On me
Ooh ooh ooh
Got the upper hand (ooh ooh ooh)
Got the upper hand (ooh ooh ooh)
Got the upper hand (on me)
Got the upper hand the upper hand on me
On me
On me
On me
Oh oh oh

| kingart (Brooklyn NY) | Posted: Nov 02, 2012 - 09:45 Haven't heard this in a while. I like it more. For half the song he sounds like Vedder. Only better. That rhymes. You can use it. Sometimes. |

I love this band and still melt completely when I hear GLP's voice. Ditto. Like Beck, GLP's stuff is new/different sounding to me, yet is still clearly real rock 'n roll. TFTT RP. |
| coloradojohn (Mile High on the Colorado Vibe, Cherry Creek, Denver) | Posted: Feb 23, 2012 - 13:50 I've heard this more than once, but never quite like this time, and it impressed me mightily; the continually building and releasing ascending crescendos of breath and melody and bass and drums...simply, superbly symphonic in its sonic brilliance, and mind you, I am justly stunned and presently well happy about it! |

Both great live performers. I haven't seen Kristin perform, but I can vouch for Grant! Saw him at the Belly-Up in Solana Beach CA a couple years ago — he certainly gives it his all, he was soaking wet with sweat when I gave him a hug after the show! Such a nice guy — and his voice gives me shivers. |
| stuntmandan (Miles from sleeping, Ca.) | Posted: Jul 01, 2011 - 12:19 perfect song for how today is moving, before the long weekend, its in SUPERSLOMOTION |

| chedak (Somewhere-over-the-rainbow, KS) | Posted: Jan 09, 2011 - 10:05 I bought this CD when it came out and forgot about it. After listening to this, I might have to dig it out of my CD storage and play it. ![]() |

| Blackfoot | Posted: Aug 03, 2010 - 12:05 Nice except the falsetto gets progressively more annoying as the song continues. Almost need to reach for the volume down button. |
| htowncoog (Texas) | Posted: Aug 03, 2010 - 12:03 Been a while...thanks! ![]() |
| socalhol (Seattle) | Posted: Aug 03, 2010 - 12:02 Just LOVE his voice — I compare it to Tiramisu: not overly sweet, but refreshing and complex at the same time |
| Segue (Almost Paradise) | Posted: May 15, 2010 - 23:08 yuk. anything original to listen to? hate stupid lyrics. |
| zipper | Posted: Mar 29, 2010 - 10:52 Why does this song make me happy? |
| themotion (somewhere between infinity) | Posted: Jan 09, 2010 - 14:03 This to Carina Round - Downslow would be a tasty segue |

| canadapaul | Posted: Dec 26, 2008 - 19:14 This dude has the coolest voice; its like Johnny Cash, if he covers a song, he makes it His. Not flaky, whiny or weak; just full of character. I wish him and the two old Jayhawks would get together for something; that'd be cool.... |
