  General Comment:Have none of you seen the "El Caminos in the West"? This artist took a bunch of El Caminos and half burried them in the dirt at a 60 degree angle. Sort of like Stonehenge.
  
  By the way, this has to be my favorite music video. Little girls trying for "World Rock Domination." Little girls with beards trashing hotel rooms. Little girls drinking (root)beers and smoking (candy)cigarettes. Ha! Priceless!

  General Comment:I think this song is about missing home when you're away somewhere faraway. Seeing as Grandaddy was formed in Modesto, California, I think it's about thinking of the West and just plain pining to be back home. In today's fast-paced world of technology and change, it's just comforting to think of the past and where you came from. I think this song is just about a search for a peaceful and fulfilling life in a society that seems to be moving faster everyday. Just my two cents anyway...

    You're onto something there. This whole album seems to be about touring and missing home, particularly the final push to the sum.

  General Comment:"so there's my baby laughing at me in the sun" a sense of being infeirior in comparison. "The pacific pacify us..." the comfort of life going on no matter what. "feel so far away" lost? all being considered, its about the univeral wish for peace and happieness.
