I discovered thus band at the turn of my teens through 28 Days Later. I bought every album and even some t shirts. This band was a big part of my youth, and for that small miracle I am grateful forevermore. Thank you Grandaddy. Thank you Jason. I hope you guys are all alright these days. Thanks for all thr beautiful moments guided by your melancholic robot tunes. Jeddy 3 forever.
I have the exact same story! Became obsessed with 28 days and the soundtrack and gave them a listen. First Now it's on and then after I heard that I was completely hooked in my youth. I was always so excited to show them o more and more people, and now to this day I still jam to all their stuff!
I do not know how I would have survived until this point without Jason Lytle and his amazing, emotive music. Sounds like hyperbole, but I mean this with ever single fiber of my being.
Drove over the road, as an owner -op, so my life didn't totally suck, and my stereo was real good, and Grandaddy was there with me, yes indeed.....was always good to discover a new CD.(didn't have internet or cell or data). Prehistoric trucking.
Crazy that I just thought of this song today, search it, and what do you know. 20 hours ago Grandaddy makes an upload of this. Love you guys and I own all of your CD's cause I'm an OG.
How wonderful to see that this gem of a B-side is now the lead single to trail the reissue of Sumday 20 years later. I always thought this song should have been on the actual album and a single back then as it is so beautifully evocative, and it has been one of my most played Grandaddy tunes anyway for all of these years! Well, I guess there is a god after all then! And yeah, that same god has given us a band as truly special and divine as Grandaddy. xx
Grandaddy is a way of life and it has been like this for over 'twunny' years. Whenever I'm feeling down OR whenever I'm feeling good, there's always Grandaddy and Jason Lytle. Thank you for everything beautiful not so far away ♥️.
Honestly, this would make a fantastic two-parter with "Where I'm anymore". Both ballads to the nuances of suburban dreams - old and new, the good, the bad, and the ugly...love it ♥️
Always considered "I just moved here and I don't wanna live here anymore" as the spiritual successor to this song. Perhaps "Where I'm anymore" would be the middle piece of a trilogy.
I've thought for a long time that Jasons piano/keyboard was similar to Bach or Mozart-- this song especially reminds me of the 70s song Music Box Dancer, which I heard as a kid. I TRULY wish Jason would do a "pure" piano/keyboard album-- he is a true genius of our time.
what a lovely song inspires me for soloing all the time. since i discoverd grandaddy in the end of the 90s during a stay in california i'm impressed. you're painting melodies (and more)
It's surreal to watch this video, to be reminded of youth and recall the Grandaddy I've known for 20+ years. It catapults my memory to simpler times but in those moments of the past I thought life was hard.
so excited for the rest of this b sides album thing to come out on streaming platforms to see if we get official releases of all the great stuff from this era (fare thee not well mutineer, signal to snow ratio)
So this video was originally made for another song, and you really did crash the van and total it and all your equipment and shit got all fucked up, right? Wasn’t this a death knell for you? I remember reading that it was a metaphor. Was surprised to see actual film of it…really; it was that perfectly timed? Because that really IS the secret to songwriting.
I deeply hope this is the weakest of songs on the new album. Funk this piano, Jason, I want new Sophtware Slump and you guys repeating yourselfs. Where the genius is gone!? Are you retired or something? Wake up people! Our brains are dying! By the way I love Grandaddy.
