Jay at the Sweetwater!

Post by ThrasherBear »

Jay returns to Marin June 18! Great venue! It's worth the trek to Mill Valley for anybody in Northern California--especially on a Saturday. Hopefully he'll play some songs from the upcoming Son Volt record.

Route may be my favorite Trace song. It's unique--each line is a complete, standalone thought, and they all tie together. An amazing piece of writing:

Reality, it burns--the way we're living is worse.

The pillars of inspiration are all falling down.

The clean-up won't work while the fallout goes on.

It's now or never, too close to the latter.

We're all living proof that nothing lasts.

Standing in the neutral zone living on sleep deprivation.

The rural route sleeps while the city bleeds all over itself.

Over the falls in a barrel is where the answers have gone.

It's here for now, transient tomorrow.

The Mother Road remains, but it provides no more--it can only take us away.

Southbound, you can taste the weather--it feels like home.
