adnan Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 I put this album on the turntable last night, and just listened to it for about 3 hours till I fell asleep.It's insane how excellent all the songs are, but especially the title track of course. I'm breathless... It's actually scary how fantastic this song is. What an absolute masterpiece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axlslash Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 I have to agree here. Overplayed and worn out though the song may be, I got way more into it when I sat down with my guitar teacher and he explained to me exactly what every line of the song meant. It's a really brilliant microchasm of the 60s. I also never knew that Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon the same weekend as Jimi, Janis, The Who, Santana, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and a few other kind of ok bands played a little music festival in Woodstock, New York (until I learned what that part of the song meant).

adnan Posted December 1, 2006 Author Share Posted December 1, 2006 Part of the reason I love the song so much is that I've never overplayed it, or heard it overplayed.Keep in mind, I once listened to it 60 times in a row, and I still wanted to play it some more, it's that fucking good.
