Stuck Between Stations Lyrics
dude fuck that wikipedia is sweet
This band is beyond believable.
another great song about this incident is john allyn smith sails by okkervil river
Completely. I can't believe I went so long before listening to them. How come I never heard about how amazing this band was from everyone?
Sal Paradise is the narrator of the book from which the line "Boys and Girls in America have such a sad time together" was taken from (On The Road by Jack Kerouac)
Wow I didn't know that. But it makes so much sense because this album seems to be about the road from adolescence to adulthood, and, while most people probably don't look at growing up in terms of drugs and alcohol, this album deals a lot with the realization of where your life is going in a very transitional stage of life.
add more comments. tell more friends. go see the the them live. this is the best band in america
You're joking right? This is definitely one of my favourites. Probably second best behind Chillout Tent.
I started reading On The Road, and though I'm not American, or pretend to know anything about the Beat Movement, I'm enjoying it. I think it shares a lot in common with the themes of this album, about normal kids making a go of life with very little. Not caring about work or appointments, just rolling with the times, going where the wind blows. /cliche.
Oh yeah, and John Berryman is a poet, who committed suicide by jumping off the Washington bridge. "We thought John Berryman could fly". That's such a wry line. He didn't die from trauma or drowning either, but by 'smothering' apparently.
Normally good songs have one or two lines that you just think "wow, that's bloody great" but i can't choose from this, it's so well written, i just think the whole song is amazing.
