Oh, she barely waits a moment
Elevator doors open
Hear her footsteps touch the stairs
Words walk by
Describing definition
Stop and talk about it
Narcissus
Is just too easy to see
We're always looking
When we see fishes
When we go fishin'
Thoughts meander
Risin' all around us
Rise and fall and rise again
Oh, we stop and talk about it
Strong beliefs
Like ideas come to life
Turn atoms into rain and stone
Sands and tall trees
Worlds passed by
Defyin' description
Stop and talk about it
Talk about it
And Maia, she dances
She dissolves into the light
Illusions of light
Oh Maia, she dances
Deep romance and poetry
Songs and movies
Virtue for la de da
She dances in the light
Dance in the light
Maia, she dances
Oh Maia, she dances
Widespread Panic is an American rock band from Athens, Georgia. The current lineup includes guitarist/singer John Bell, bassist Dave Schools, drummer Duane Trucks, percussionist Domingo "Sunny" Ortiz, keyboardist John "JoJo" Hermann, and guitarist Jimmy Herring. The band's original guitarist and sometime songwriter, Michael Houser, died of pancreatic cancer in 2002, and the original drummer, Todd Nance, left in 2016 and died in 2020.
The band was formed in Athens, Georgia, in 1986, and is influenced by the Southern rock, blues-rock, progressive rock, funk and hard rock genres. They have been compared to other jam bands such as the Grateful Dead and Phish. Widely renowned for their live performances, they have held the record for number of sold-out performances at Red Rocks Amphitheatre (Morrison, Colorado) and State Farm Arena (Atlanta).
Correct.
One shouldn't accuse someone of "ripping off" another artist when it may well be the other way around.
One of these days I may write a filter to block all comments containing the phrase "ripped off". All music borrows from other music, all artists are influenced by other artists, and there are only so many pleasing chord progressions. Wholly original music is extremely rare, and quite often difficult to listen to.
Ripple > Fishing = Happy Wrangler
RIP Jerry & Mikey, the guitarists in the band in my head

There's too much of that in these comment threads anyhow, often from people who seem to know little about music history and/or theory. It's a damn synthesizer in this song; they've been widely used in popular music for over 50 years.
I think this came first ...

Oh Bill... You know we love it when you talk all authoritarian and slightly dictatorial
Then you go and spoil it by talking sensibly for most of your post...

it seems each moment is dependent on every moment that has occurred prior to it
Look after the king of R n R please
Will you please explain what you're going on about? It's getting seriously old.

That would be a nice segue, sorry I missed Ripple! Wow, Fishing followed by Ain't No Sunshine by Eva Cassidy... superb! Man, Do miss Jerry!
This really is a great song...
Good Tune!
Bloody Good Tune! and also a great song by the way.
WSP show memories.... Just heard Coconuts on the radio up here keeping motivated during lock down. Just saw Big Head Todd in norcal on same tour. They were awesome as was JD Simo. Missing some live shows for sure right now.

Agreed...!! Me like lots!!
But - who came with the sound first... WP started in '86ish according to wikipedia... me need to research!!
To me this seems like a sound which long preceded either band. Plenty of bands from the 1960s and '70s had tunes with this sort of mildly psychedelic groove. I guess we all hear different things though.
