Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Lianna Average	#1 by Lianna Basile at Apr 27, 1976 at 8:42 PM EST
	This song was one of the few that had a music video, you might've missed it though because no one gave it any air play (Beavis and Butthead turned it off after two seconds). bjengles3 is right, Tom Marshall wrote it and he has said in interviews that he wrote it about when he had mono...I like to think it has a deeper meaning than that, though

No Picture Jason Average	#2 by Jason herbie at Apr 27, 1976 at 11:58 PM EST
	i'm gonna go totally cliche and say its about drugs. a bad trip on something to be exact. or maybe just drug addiction. a thousand barefoot children dancing on my lawn. jungles in his mind. sounds pretty trippy to me. also losing time... nothing i can say to make it stop?

No Picture Frank The Tizzl Wanna Be	#3 by Frank The Tizzle Town Tank Stallone at Jul 28, 1977 at 8:03 PM EST
	This song is a lot different from the mellow chillin phish i'm used to... it's upbeat, a very fun song.

No Picture benji Wanna Be	#4 by benji 182 at Aug 30, 1982 at 3:03 PM EST
	This is my favourite Phish song. I am not sure of the meaning, though..

No Picture Michael Rhythm Player	#5 by Michael Roysdon at Dec 29, 1988 at 5:13 PM EST
	I was so going to say that! But I thought it was far fetched, but just for the sake of argument and places like songmeanings.net, if you set out listening to this song thinking "this person has a bad addiction to drugs and wants to stop but can't" then it makes alot of sense. ORRR it's totally not about drugs at all and we have predictable phish fan minds

No Picture Sam Average	#6 by Sam Nairn at Apr 8, 1992 at 5:58 AM EST
	awesome song. i cant help but agree with the meaning. sometimes i wish i could make things end but i just wait for the right time.

No Picture Tom Average	#7 by Tom Someguy at Jan 11, 1995 at 7:27 AM EST

No Picture claude Average	#8 by claude barrett at Aug 22, 2006 at 6:11 AM EST
	i dont think its about the breakup either. well, it really could be about anything, and thats the way i like it for now ;)
