No order specifically except #1
1. Left a slide
2. Picking Up the Signal
3. Medicine hat
4. No More Parades
5. Tear stained eye
That being said, I like alot of the SV2 stuff. Oatmor/Search i did like alot. The riff from the search is memorable.. goes thru my head. Circ Rhythm, L train, Meth etc finds Jay at the top of his game. The only complaint i have with the search was a little too much reaching with his voice.

Tougher than I thought. I was listening to that song for the album to benifit Alejandro (way mispelled I know). To me, it seemed like a sound that we now attribute to SV2. I came to the conclusion that OATMOR or the Search wouldn't have been that different even if the brothers and Heidorn had been the musicians; that's just where Jay was heading as a songwriter anyway. But then again, I'm from Kentucky. Just a thought.

Stuck in a hotel in Amsterdam
Its about sun down for you
Your sleep doesn't happen easy
Choice words for the pay phone that doesn't work
You can buy absynthe, cocaine and heroin
But you can't come home
Find sleep where you can
Situations to laugh about when its over
Its a long way from over
Thinking of you around the world
I bet he's talking about calling his kid before they go to sleep..."Stuck in a hotel in Amsterdam
Its about sun down for you

maybe I'm a cheeseball, but I put two kids to sleep at sundown every night and I know he's got two around 4 and 7...recall where he said the girl likes Gob Iron and the boy Stone Steel Bright Lights...
no biggie, carry on

Re: Top 5 Son Volt songs
welcome to the board! here are some alternative suggestionsCopenhagenRoots wrote:Son Volt are new to me. I'm sitting here with five albums and one seems to be better than the other. I don't know what I've been doing all these years.
Well, from the first week of round the clock listening this would be top 5. If you reply, please don't mention Farrars solo work, since I haven't got the music yet:
1. Drivin' the view
2. Drown
3. Back into your world
4. Circadian Rhythm
5. Cemetery Savior
Tell me what i should listen closer to.
Best
1. "chaos streams" from okemah
2. "picking up the signal" from straightaways
3. "ten second news" from trace, or any other song on that album
4. "underground dream" from the search
5. "question" from wide swing tremolo

Thinking of you
Around the world
Holed up in the city of Hamburg
Looking for signs of Liverpool
I'm around the Reeperbahn
Bergen, Dublin run together
Caffeine fueled dreams
Scottish ladies on the brink
Walk along the winded down
Unfamiliar empty streets
They know who you are
At least you know who you are
Thinking of you around the world
Thinking of you
Around the World
Thinking of you around the world
Thinking of you
Around the World
