Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
Backstage, everyone wants a piece of JD
Kathleen's on the phone and i got to go get paid
See, promoter's making small talk,
He says we knocked his socks off
Cinna-mint, Internet, Cinnamon and Butter-buns!
Who's got the keys?
Oh! Look, man, we just gotta get some sleep!
But he said "Do you guys need a place to stay?"
No, oh no. No thanks, just point us to the highway.
She said, she likes it better when were angry,
"Sing that song again that makes me think you're gonna spank me!"
Head on my jacket like a pillow in the van,
When i close my eyes I'm in a cross-town cab.
Hey, who wants to party?
Those girls outside just asked me
Check out's late and they seem cool,
so
OoooOOooohhhh....okay...okay,okay
Hey, we want a Universal healthcare deal
and we want Kissinger on trial for real.
We got a right wing king making third world war
Assholes, oil-guys!
How many shows till were back in New York?
Killer's got us packed up, coffee in a travel mug
Thinks she got the mix all right, says she wants to drive tonight.
The power amp, we call the "pamp"
The S-2000, we call it the "samp"
The MRC's do not come on tour,
They used to, though, back when we were hardcore.
Hey these girls say that this town sucks!
They just want to know if they can come with us
Hey, who wants to party?
Those girls outside just asked me
Check out's late and they seem cool,
So
OoooOOooohhhh....okay..okay,okay

Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

He certainly did earn that reputation.
The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
yeah, this song is about being a feminist group on tour (or at least that's what johanna said last week during a concert). I absolutely love that song!
