the most underrated dave song out there. this song always makes me think about the big things in life like God and things about life we think we are sure about but could be completley wrong. i like to just star gaze to this song. makes me think deep and think about life and how we need to find a deep meaning even if we arent sure we should just take faith in those things. thats why i accepted christianity. this song is great and they need to play it more.
This is one of my fav DMB tunes. it's also a great example of why they're my favorite band. Not only is it great music, it's beautiful poetry. A reminder to keep our dreams alive, and to go for them! Dave's lyrics are so powerful. "Dream, little darlin', dream". A great motivational piece. RIP Roi...Peace, Love and DMB forever!
at least you've gotten it once...this is the one song that I want to hear everytime I go to a show, but still yet to hear it. I've gotten, Halloween, Spoon, Last Stop, Pig....no YNK
I remember the first time i heard this song, it made me fall in love with DMB. its just so different and so much better than all the other crap out there. RIP Roi
The melody of this song is just breathtaking. "Busted Stuff" is my favorite album by DMB, and this is one of my favorite songs off that album (although my absolute favorite is "Bartender").
It is in 6/8, but towards the end of the intro, its a 4/4 feel, and the drums enter on beat 2. NOT 1! So count 123 456 - 223 456 - 323 456 - 423 3 4 - 1 2 3 4. So the 4th bar of 6/8 is only 6/8 for the first half, then switch to 4/4 for beat 3 and 4 (which would be in the same time as 456. Goes from a triplet feel to a duple meter.) Then continue in 4/4 in the next measure and the drums enter on beat 2. Keep in mind that a measure of 6/8 is the same as one of 4/4.
@masonthebassist im no expert bit its a bit of a 6/8 3/4 thing to start then 6/8 then a section of 3 bars 5/8 then 1 bar 6/8. repeats a bit and mixes things up. thats what i gathered anyway
ok someone who knows about time in music help me out. WHAT METER IS THIS IN!? ive been trying to get the feel of it but i keep epic failing and missing downbeats. if they even are downbeats. lol
