SOUNDS OF FUTURE PAST AND PRESENT PERFECT

good pedigree

Posted 11 months ago



Don't mean to be random but this just came across the radar screen and heare we have Jakob Dylan who wrote the song when he was eighteen years old, and considered it the first real song he had written. It was meant to go on their self-titled first album, but the record company would not allow it. The lyrics are based on Dylan's own experiences while living in New York, in particular the story of a homeless man who would sit outside his window and play the same songs every day. One day the man was gone, but his things were still there, until gradually people started taking them.

We have a contribution by Adam Duritz on backing vocals (I dig Counting Crows)

Not bad, for a first song...

    I wonder why they didn't allow it...

    "Not bad for a first song." I'll say

    The randomness is well received up here.

    The guitar intro always reminds me of guitar George.

    Well, he's better looking than his daddy. This is a good song, but Jakob's career doesn't seem to be getting much traction. Maybe his new acoustic album will kick start things--I understand it is sans Wallflowers.

    no,no,no - I said I DIG counting crows - we don't always like things we dig, nor do we always dig thing we like. Numbering budgies, on the other hand (that would be the left as I am right handed) shows a certain comtempt for momfrets.
