i mean...this band is amazing. nuff said. can do no wrong in my eyes.
this song is a turning point for these guys, and Brian in particular. these past albums, most if not all his songs have been about a girl (Maria or Virginia or what have you).
but now he's telling himself to let her go. to turn the record over. to turn the key and engine over and leave and let somebody else lay at her feet.
"Have you seen my hands?
Just look at 'em shake
And the song just keeps on repeating
Drop the needle again
And I danced with your ghost
Oh, but that ain't the way
I can't move on and I can't stay the same"
frustration. longing to get over her and get on with life.
it's a powerful, powerful song, simple in its delivery and as i said, really important in terms of Brian's songwriting.
