bass tab by chris lawrence

this is taken from the 'goo demos' version, which may be slightly
different than the lp version, i dont know..

intro:

E--13--13-13-13-13-13-13--15--15-15-15-15-15-15- etc etc etc whatever

end on: E---12-- barre your finger across and toss in a 12th fret note
on the G string

then switch to: A---15---

the verse goes:

A--15--15--15-15-15--15--15-----------------------------
E----------------------------1511/13--13-13-13-13- etc-

"turns to sleep":

D--13-13-13-13-13-13-----------------------------
A----------------------10-10-10-10--10-10-10-10-
E-------------------------------------------------

"been away too long"

E--13----15-- thump these notes!

then: D---14---

then: A---15---

then for the break, re-play the intro riff at first. then change slightly
to:

E--13-13-13-13-13-13-13-15-15/-12--

then for the large build-up at the very end of the jam, go nuts
on the F note:

E--13-- (rapid pick)

and end that part on: A--15--

and play it all again. or something.

Sounds like he's talking about aliens but it reminds me of allnighters!

I am not positive but I think Thurston wrote this riding in a car/bus(?) and he looked over and noticed a "Western Star" truck ...and it just kinda wrote itself... I will have to ask Thurston next time I see him...haha

this song could nearly just be about signs, road signs, neon signs woow any signs, pretty atmospheric for a song about signs though.

i agree - the song seems like it is made up of thoughts from a long never-ending drive. also - in the video suggests this, sort of.

Paul Dempsey, of Something For Kate, described this song as 'one of the most cinematic songs I have ever heard' ... and I couldn't put it better myself. This is one of my favourites from Goo.. although that whole album is absolute genius. A wonder to listen to. :)
