Trivia/Info

  • This song debuted on Dial-A-Song in late June 2000.
  • From TMBG Unlimited, "Inspired by the relaxed grooves of The Band, we lay all the way back on the couch to capture this '70's folk-rock vibe. Dan Miller had his eyes almost completely closed as he delivered some highly mellow slide guitar, while Dan Hickey created a thick drum and percussion bed in which to crash."
    • The song itself seems to be inspired by "The Weight", using the same drum beat in the latter song's verses throughout the song, as well as the drum beat in the latter song's chorus being used throughout this song's pre-chorus.
