obviously about a hot chick, but I think it's more about the crazy spinning thoughts in a guys head when he wants something that he either has fantasized of or had a small taste of--yet knows he can't have (the song says "While another man tries to understand you" implying she's already taken). Great song though, definately describes a moment in most guys lives (think Jr. High, maybe High School :-P ) |

| OutCold has it right. It's saying if you really want to be a hero you can be--but you'll probably end up six feet under. Better to swallow your pride than to lose your head. | |

Muzzy, gotta agree with you about this song. However, don't try and discredit EVH's disruption on account of effects. I've been playing guitar for years, and of all my friends who play I know one person who can play eruption and he's a freaking wunderkind. EVH was a technical master, his pedal work, trem work, and technique make him the father of his genre--despite whether or not you like his music. As for Stevie, definately and hands down the most soulful and best guitarist to walk this planet. His guitar was his voice, and he expressed himself through it without the slightest hesitation. While others like Hendrix did the same, they fail to match the passion of Stevie's playing and his smoothness. The man never seemed to slip or get lost in his music--it flowed. Hendrix had it too, but was much much rougher in his playing |

thinking about this sent me on a search. Here's a quote straight from Doyle Bramhall's site about the song: And there is also included a special song written by Bramhall and wife Barbara Logan originally for Stevie Ray Vaughan. "In September 1990, soon after Stevie died, I realized that 'Life By The Drop' needed to be recorded and I thought someone like Bonnie Raitt might be interested in doing it, so I asked Tom Reynolds, a friend of mine and a fine guitar player, if he would record a demo with me. So we went in to a funky home studio and cut the track. I gave the demo to someone who could get it to Bonnie, but never heard back. About 1991-92, I was visiting my son Doyle II in Austin and we were listening to tapes. He said, 'Dad, you've heard Stevie's version of "Life By The Drop," right?' And I said, 'No, I never knew he recorded it.' I couldn't listen to the whole thing; it was just too emotional for me. |

| I just checked the song's composer, and it's listed as Doyle Bramhall (Another amazing texas guitarist, as is his son Doyle Bramhall II) and Barbara Logan, who I'm not familiar with. I would assume "Talkin' bout good things and singin the blues" would indicate Bramhall was the writer of the song, as he played blues & rock much like Stevie. | |

I've heard this was wrote ABOUT Stevie, by a friend and Stevie covered it. It was released on The Sky Is Crying in 91 if I'm not mistaken, so I believe it was recorded after SRV got off the booze & coke. Definately a heart-felt song, but I don't see alcohol being it's main point. Save for the line "Livin life by the drop" there isn't much about booze in it. It's a story of two friends growing up, one leaving (Stevie, becoming famous) and the other staying and watching his friend. Definately a beautifully simple song. The guitar is sad on it's bass notes and bright up high. An awesome song to listen to, and a personal favorite to play and sing with some friends after a few drinks. |

| To think KWS was cutting songs like this just out of highschool is nuts. This is a great opener to an awesome album, and definately one of the best songs off of "Trouble Is" | |

any man in this world should be able to relate to these lyrics. He's geeked about a girl, wants to take her home and is getting way too wound up about her... she's not so eager and shuts him down. Have to love Sublime's story-telling style. Brad was a hell of a poet. |

| Sublime – Jailhouse Lyrics | 20 years ago |

One of my favorite songs, because it combines so many of Sublime's great qualities. They cover the reggae lines and they just sound right in this song. Sure they're different from the rest, but it really gives the song some amazing contrast, and combined with the beat it makes a sweet sound. Brad throws in some amazing lyrics of his own. I love his talk about playing his guitar like a vision. When I'm baked and playing either my guitar or bass and it starts sounding good then I can tell you he hit the nail on the head--because it really is like watching yourself play or having a vision. "Can't fight against the youth" is a sweet line in itself, and needs no explanation or interpretation. just sweet seriously, if you're not a big fan of this song, then give it a few listens. it's one of my most favorite Sublime songs |

Anyways... Stevie does an amazing cover of Little Wing--that does Jimi great justice. Definately a favorite song of mine (both Jimi and Stevie's). Also interesting to listen to this and then Yellow Ledbetter by Pearl Jam. The words are entirely different, but the intro guitars are very similar. Pearl Jam plays it a little faster, and with a slightly different rhythm, but if you listen you should recognize that it's a very close copy of Little Wing. Gotta love the works by all three artists |

Semi-OK career? Jimi was no doubt a huge influence to SRV, but you can't honestly think that SRV was just some small fluke! His career was amazing, and his covers of Jimi's work made it so much cleaner. Little Wing and Voodoo Chile are prime examples of Stevie's ability to polish what Jimi made. Stevie had some of the smoothest and most amazingly clear playing for his speed. And when he wrote it was straight from the heart... Jimi did revolutionize how the guitar was played, but Stevie set the bar for how to play it. |

I can't offer any great introspective into this song, I take it as a song about the inner-conflict of youth and the tendancy to let out through anger. All I really wanted to say about this song though is that it is amazing, the guitar, the lyrics, just everything about it. It's classic |

| Silvertide – Heart Strong Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| There's too many underlying implications in this song to try and pick them apart. I boil the entire thing down to the surreal feeling you have after a rift in your life--that lonely floating feeling of disattachment and confusion. | |
| Silvertide – Ain't Coming Home Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
This is an amazing intro to an awesome album. Gotta say that Show & Tell is hands down one of the best albums of 2004. The band's energy reminds me a lot of Audiovent or Buckcherry. Just intense for a first album. Can't wait to see these guys in Lansing this summer! |
