As many have pointed out, the entire CD is really fantastic. One of the first CDs I bought, and still gets heavy (usually late night) rotation. This song feels a bit different out of context from the rest of the disc, but I'm not complaining!

I agree! I was just sitting hear listening to this song and wondering why I don't have any Toad in my music collection? I must do something about that. The tough part will be deciding which CD to purchase first!
You can't really go wrong there. I'm partial to Fear, next Dulcinea, but Coil and even the Rarities cd have good stuff on them.

The Church similarity hit me like a brick through a window this morning! That was a good band...I wonder if they wake up thinking, "damn, we were about 5 years ahead of our time"....
well, try about 20 years ahead... The Church began recording in '81.. and hit their commercial peak (with Starfish) in '88. It was a great sound then, and still is.

Lyrics rock. Music sux. What's with the freakin' pan pipes, jeeesh!
I've gotta agree. Richie Havens does an excellent version of this off his '94 CD "Cuts to the Chase" that gets rid of the sappy sound and gives the lyrics the urgency they deserve.

I find these guys have a consistently good sound... but a little too consistent. This one reminds me a lot of 'God don't make Lonely Girls' off Bringing Down the Horse.

Holy Moley - and I thought the Allman Bros. didn't know how to end a song.
I'm kinda enjoying this song/experience... but that's f'n funny.

Reminds me a bit of Rusted Root. Nice energy, but nothing special.

haven't heard this in a long time. I wouldn't want to hear it every day, but once in a while... sounds gooooooood.

oh god... what the heck were they thinking with that ending?? Harmless junk to, well, just horrible.
Posted 19 years ago by cjg:
wow, that beginning guitar riff sounded an aweful lot like a cool Campervan Beethoven song... 'Seven Languages', I believe it is. Well, now that I'm over my disappointment, this is allright. Kinda catchy.

What ever happened to these guys? They are fantastic!
it seems they just kept on quietly producing wonderful music.

I can't say I put this CD on too much anymore. Not that it hasn't aged well (I still think it's one of the best to come out of the 80's)... I think I just played it soo much at an important time of my life (late high school years), that it always feels out of context now. Having said that, bring on anything from Low Life. (or Power Corruption and Lies, or the Temptation EP.)

'pull me out of the aircrash... pull me out of the lake... I'm your superhero' anyone else hear it? maybe I'm just eager for a RH fix.

I gotta admit, I hear some vocal similarities on this track. (and I'm a pretty big Kate Bush fan)

awe, what the hell... she's been wanting to rock more than the Indigo Girls envelope would really allow for a long time. Good for her.
