“Dusk was the longest hour when I was a kid. Beautiful things sometimes can seem pretty hid.” The verses of “I Was a Fool” never fail to send me sailing into idyllic childhood memories. The kind of memories that ping all kinds of emotions in the present. One minute it is the need to be out in the wild dirt (I guess adults call it nature), where boundlessness rules and passion can be nothing but pure. The next minute it is the need to relive this childhood moment. And then the next minute after that, you’re thinking the only way to relive this is by having babies of your own? Is that a pure intention? It’s without a doubt not boundless. ”Funny the things that make you want to walk the land are the things sometimes you barely understand.”
Speaking of funny things, it is important to note, the guitar player for Roman Candle kills one of my favorite rock moves: the Guitar Player’s Lunge. He gets really deep with it, right knee all the way to the floor, and he bounces up as fast as he drops down. You can’t imagine how inspiring it is until you actually see it. He makes me crave rocking with all my heart. Every time.
