* I am aware that the notes here are the same (5,0) (lines 69 and 70).
  I wrote it this way for the effect it generates, which is that of 
  pedal tones. If you listen carefully to the recording, you might be 
  able to hear what I mean.

Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


Josh Rhythm Player	#1 by Josh Schleter at Apr 29, 1978 at 3:09 AM EST
	This song while very unclear to me seems to dwell on the life and death of people. The powers mentioned seem to be similar to how people (especially teenagers) think they are invincible and will not die. Of course some come to realize that they are going to die, however some others never do. Humorously the line " But for all his power couldn't foresee his own demise" reminds me of a part of Star Wars: Episode 3 where Palpatine tells Anakin of the Sith Lord Darth Plagus the Wise who had the power to keep others alive but in the end could not save himself from death and died by the hands of his apprentice. Otherwise good song and sounds nice.

Tim Average	#2 by Tim Curry at Oct 16, 1984 at 4:04 PM EST
	the album is sort of a concept album charting the story of the clairvoyant and this song is one of the best on the album

No Picture Josh Wanna Be	#3 by Josh at Mar 6, 1996 at 11:10 AM EST
	This song really reminds me of the movie 'The Dead Zone'-from the standpoint of the leading character John Smith who becomes clairevoyant after awakening from 7 years in a coma but ultimately does not forsee his own death.

Bill Average	#4 by Bill Connor at Apr 11, 2006 at 5:12 PM EST
	this is equal to the sound, but harris doesnt play it like this
