God make that sax stop. Every one of their songs sounds the same.

YES!  I first heard Buena hear on RP and went straight throught the Amazon link and bought a copy.  Have most of their stuff now.  Very original band - they aren't trying to sound like any other band, and no one sounds like them.  Too Cool.

If nothing else, this band is instantly-identifiable because of the sax.  I like the song, and I'm still not sure why.  Then again, do I need a reason? It makes me smile, and with the kind of month I've had, I'll take a smile anytime! {#Dancingbanana}

It helps a lot when you get the lyrics right.

Apparently, based on the comments!  I have to say I'm in the former.  These guys are (were, RIP) awesome.  Really wish I could have caught them before the singer/bass player died.

I have only recently dicovered Morphine and I am very happy I did, I must purchase some of their stuff soon for an upcoming road trip.  I have always been a fan of Saxs.

Hello? We have Morphine playing here and you three have veered so far off topic you must be smoking the fugowi yourselves!!

Ok, this is a musically amazing day . . . I am actually enjoying the use of . . . several--at least two different that I can make out-- brass instruments, horns, in a song that I consider still the the category of rock!

Sure the "everybody else" argument may be weak, but it makes more sense to try to help addicted individuals than to judge them. I also don't buy the notion that drugs make anyone creative or else our inner-city streets would be teeming with talent. It's more likely the other way around, where the creative and inquisitive mind may be more open to substance abuse and more susceptible to addiction. Creative people tend to be explorative and adventurous, and sadly that often includes dangerous or self-destructive activities.

Ah yes..."Everybody does etc. so don't be upset when somebody does etc." That's a pretty weak statement. It's fine to be upset with people telling lies, even though everybody does it. Lying has the potential to hurt folks, so there's nothing wrong with a general sense of indignation about lying. Addiction to a vice is no different.

And I also really don't like the ol' "the drugs make them creative" idea you hinted at. It's a dangerous justification, whether it's true or not.

I don't think that's what happened to him. He had a heart attack on stage while performing.

Sounds just like a band I enjoyed in the past called the Bears. Is there a connection? Which came first? I believe they even had a song about honey . . . bears go figure. Its their morphine?

Hmmm...this concept of "getting" and "not getting" music is so ridiculous. What's to "get" about Morphine? And why, if I don't like them, do I somehow not "get" them?

Do you presume to know what I do and do not understand about music?

If your desire to relate to people is based on your common understanding of music, than I suppose I don't want to know you either.

Definitely an acquired taste. Everytime you hear them, you know exactly who it is. I always like them, but them I am a sucker for Baritone sax.
