47 - Still I'm the One Who's Stupid

My good buddy Shawn introduced me to this song well over a decade ago.  I wasn't too impressed with much I had heard from this band.  Mainly because the few songs I had heard were insanely overplayed on the radio (which I was still listening to at that point.)

But when he played this song, can't remember if it was on a CD player at his place, or in a car with a portable player...but it really landed for me.

Landed?  What does that mean?  (and I'm asking...instead of deleting and writing something that makes sense)  So, here it is...we're past the mid point, and it's all down hill from here folks!!

Song 46
        "Motorcycle Drive By" from the self titled album Third Eye Blind
The gentle picking at the beginning makes me think of the old 70's movie Benji for some reason.  And the 70's tend to make me think of Autumn (I think I've gone down that road with the Asteroids Galaxy Tour.)  So, Benji, the dog.  And the 70's.  I don't know but that's where my mind goes.

I also get this imagery of a guy driving in to the city from the fairly rural suburbs on his motorcycle.  See what I did there?  I used part of the title, and made sense out of it!

There is clearly some sort of love story/romance element to this song, but it sounds kinda bitter, over, or at the endish point.  But that isn't what really gets me in the song. It's more just the music and the sounds of the vocals that make me go all Fall.

That's all I got for today.  Enjoy!

grace, peace + hope
