agreed with it all but the Lennon thing...Lennon, on his own, did mostly crap. This is not crap.

Well said, Westslope.  I think you summed this up perfectly.

Yes, the scene when Nate, after agreeing to stay in LA for "a little while", goes for a run and sees his father get on a bus downtown. That scene, and this song, give me chills. In a great way.
 

Absolutely; I've never heard this song here, but as soon as it started that scene came to mind. Nate is standing on the sidewalk with  people walking by in slow motion, glancing at him, as he looks up and sees his dead father wave to him from a departing bus.

How do you mean by itself?  How would it be stronger by not being by itself?  I think it is a fine little ditty.

This song is off of the Devlins 1997 album Waiting and I loved (and still love) that and their 1993 album Drift. I'm not familiar with their more recent stuff but damn I listened to Drift over and over again when I was a sad teenager... but don't let that deter you. {#Smile}
 
Cool — thanks for the recommendation.  I have only ever heard of the Devlins on soundtracks!  I'll have to check out the whole album.

I was able to get all 5 seasons from my public library, it was a very interesting series with a pretty good soundtrack.

Never saw the show, but this song made me stop what I was doing and come see who it was.  Seriously digging on this.

Love that show! Love that scene.  Love Nate.  What does "Waiting" refer to? Waiting for death? The inevitable?

Same here.  There are some real clinkers which have snuck in but for the most part it's stellar.

Me too.  I was living in a small apartment in Goose Hollow (Portland) when the series first debuted; I totally remember this scene. . .

Oh, I totally agree! I've never seen "6 Feet Under" (although I've heard good things about it.)

"Drift" is an excellent CD. I had it on cassette, and it went the way of all good things (uh, remodel, bagged stuff, sacrifice...) but now I have it on CD, and it's like being reunited with an old friend. I just love The Devlins - so ethereal, spacy and perceptive (and how in the world can even a single person be all those things, and how much more difficult is it for a group to be all those things?)

Dunno about anyone else, but I'm really loving the music Bill and Rebecca are programming these days. Kudos to them!
