this song makes me want summer soooooo bad! it's such a bright and happy song that you can't listen to it and be sad. it reminds me of.... the ocean, and hot weather, and waves, and just being GENUINELY HAPPY!
What? Theres no meaning in an instrumental? This song is probably one of my favorite jams of any band....an incredible range of musical emotion and high and lows...one of the all time greatest riffs, perfect for driving and air guitar...
The piece is named after Dickey Betts daughter Jessica.
In Britain the main riff is known as the theme music to a popular motoring show "Top Gear". As a result many people here simply think it was written for the show and are surprised to learn of the original piece.
