Sorry for the double post but...
Fuck it More songs I like and reasons why:
I remember riding in the car with my friend carrie, and she was blaring this song with 4 other people in the car on the way to the bar. I was all turn this shit off, time for pop music. At the end of the night all I could think about was a line from this song over and over
we're on an island on The fourth of July, looks like the tide is going home. I don't know why either. Bar timez.
Uhm, I always respected bluegrass music, never particularly cared for it, but respect. I was at some party or whatever, and this song came on, and like everyone stopped and started singing it. I sorta listened to the lyrics and was like "Oh this is kinda new age bluegrass or some weird shit" I've liked the song ever since I guess.
I spent the summer of like 2007 jamming out to this album and going to the lake daily for swimming and kicking ass... err mostly just swimming. Nothing will beat the 20 minute drive to the lake with this album blaring. One of the few joys of living in Rural America.
I just have always loved this song, definitely one of my top 10 favorite songs. It reminds me of the days before iPods and MP3 players, and I was burning CDs for travel or friends. In the back of my head I only had 18 songs, and I this was on way too many mixes to be healthy.
