Trivia/Info

  • Although the song is nearly eight minutes long, only sixteen seconds of it actually contain Linnell (singing and playing an accordion). The rest is an unknown and unrelated marching band, which for eight minutes dutifully marches past the microphone and into the distance. Near the end, the crowd talks and cars are heard moving away.
  • The State Songs Hello EP version of this song is 30 seconds longer, and contains more lyrics.
  • From the State Songs liner notes:
Human beings have lived in the area known as the Silver State for at least 20 millennia. During that time they have painted on cave walls, herded cattle, toiled in mines, worked as prostitutes and black jack dealers, tested atomic weapons, and worn elaborate, glamorous costumes in some of the most stunning musical productions ever staged.
