This came on my random play for the first time in years today and I immediately had to pull up this video because, honestly, it’s better than OR’s studio version, which is too upbeat and goes on way too long. For decades now, some of my favorite lines from any song have been “And see how that light you love now just won’t shine / there might just be another star, high and far in some other sky.” I hated growing up in-let’s just say my home country that rhymes with “Schmamerica” and often fantasized about moving elsewhere-and I know that’s what this song is explicitly about, but it’s always resonated with me in that sense of a wanderlust kid having second thoughts about leaving.

Saw them last night in Tucson. Blown away. Totally inspired by how tight they were. The lead guitar player was one of the best guitarist I have ever heard.
Just saw this the other night at Mississippi Studios in Portland. Will and his band killed it despite the venue having some technical issues with the stage mix. Great performance by talented players, and Will even came out to the merch table afterwards and signed our tour poster. What a great and memorable night. Thank you for that, and my deepest condolences for your loss. I lost my brother too, a long time ago. We played music together and shared the same dream as you.
I'm homeless and have no way to enjoy this, but I hope you got/get as many orders as possible. I think you're the most underrated band within my lifetime and one of the greatest ever. Thank you for making beautiful music
I found this video while looking for the Jobriath song late one night not long after my own trachy earlier this year. It right cheered me up as well. Where I live we get our own Waterloo Sunset every evening, but this made it all seem new again.
This song definitely gets the Metalhead Seal of Approval for Non-Metal Songs. Honestly, the whole album is pretty good, but this song stands out. It's very poetic and has a beautiful and uplifting twist at the end.
