This is such a powerful and beautiful version of this masterpiece. I was brought to tears the first time I heard this. The way he has been able to express himself with a guitar reminds me of Stevie Ray Vaughan and it reminds me of that song from Pink Floyd called “DOGS” off of the animal album… the guitar solo weeps and pains the feelings of desperation to be heard and the desire to feel something real… to be treated like a person… everyone can relate to a urning for that feeling. This version does that to me the same way that “dogs” does to me when I hear it to this day. It’s such an out of body experience to me but in the most special and authentic way. MY HEART FEELS AN ANGST THAT I MUST KEEP INSIDE HEARING THIS… ITS LIKE IT KEEPS ME MENTALLY SHARP AND BREAKS ME DOWN TO KNOWING HOW THINGS ARE SUPPOSED TO FEEL LIKE AGAIN… FEELINGS ARENT FACTS BC THEY CHANGE SO OFTEN I HAVE CUT THEM OFF… THE FEELINGS I GET FROM DEANER PLAYING THIS IS SO INTENSE… SO MOVING AND SO POWERFUL… EVEN THOUGH IVE BEEN THRIVING OFF OF SUPPRESSING THEM FOR SO LONG. PRETENDING THEY CEASE TO EXIST. Unrelated to this body of work…. I was fortunate enough to see Dean Ween live a few years back when he and Gene Ween had parted ways while Gene was getting sober… he was playing at a fairly new venue at Terminal West in Atlanta March, 2016…. One of the best live shows I have ever been to. He was amazing. I wanted to meet with him but I figured it would be almost impossible bc there were so many people there so my friend and I left the venue…. The next day a few friends of mine told me that he came out of the venue and was hanging out with everyone and even entertained the crowd of people outside the venue with some random girl and her accordion. I have always jokingly sworn to my friend that he was trying to find me… that night I was wearing a noticeably green shirt and I was right in front of the stage right in the center… a few weeks later he made a song called “pickled pink” and so to this day we have this inside joke that he wrote that song to/ about me. 😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣. If any of you are lucky enough to get to see him live with or without WEEN I encourage you to make that purchase it’s an amazing and unforgettable show. I promise you it is an worth your time and worth the experience to attend his show. The energy in the room is so carefree and fun. Everyone looks out for eachother and you get a true sense of unity and friendship with perfect strangers. I can’t imagine what that feels like to be able to travel around the world and to share such amazing uplifting adrenaline and harmonious energy with a community of people who don’t want anything except to help you promote your expression of self in such a loving a understandingly open hearted way!!!
this song brings tears to my eyes no matter how many times i hear it. as a trans person this song is so important to me, the heartache for surgery, the inner parenting, youre beautiful. no need to pretend, love is a gift, honest and true.
