101

The 101 could also reference to the number of college classes signifying a basic course. Saying that he is returning back to the basics and the beginning.

i think it might actually be:

What was I next to you?

In my mind it all goes back

first singel from "Yours to keep" great song and video too. Sounds like The Strokes, but I like this way. Anybody know what mean "101"?

Hwy 101 in CA.

Room 101 is a torture chamber in which a prisoner is subjected to his or her own worst nightmare. Such is the omniscience of the state in the totalitarian society of Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Room_101

Yeah i dont think Albert is singing about a torture chamber. I think the highway fits a little better with the song. I always imagined a train for some reason but highway might be more accurate.

I am not sure, and the album sleeve doesn't have the lyrics printed in it, but I think the lyric might be: "I caught the 101" therefore referencing the highway. Albert is originally from CA, and it might be kind of a returning home kind of thing, or maybe trying to return to someone. The whole album deals a lot with relatioships and change. Catch him in concert if you can---def an awesome show!!

i dont like the beginning.

My first thought was also back to the beginning. He got off track, maybe had a drinking problem, gambling problem (etc) and is now back to the basics.

the 101 references highway 101 in california that runs parallel to the west coast.
