Rob Thomas – I Am an Illusion

  General Comment:Well to me..
  he has had to recreate hime self a few times,
  he knows he is his own worst enemy and his best friend
  he seems to always be in "transition"
  
  not wanting to be told what to be, not sure he wants to be anything that he has to be.
  
  He is now comfortable living in a state of flux...
  he can remain aloof, inscrutable, an enigma....
  
  an Illusion...
  
  I love this work, I relate to the lone warrior monk, I am a mystery to others, I have found myself as no "self" and one with all things...

  General Comment:I kind of feel like after being put through the wringer time and time over again you want to blame but it doesn't help and you realize you're the maker and answer of all your problems.
  Deep shit. Can always expect that from Rob T.

  General Comment:Funky beat, I feel like I am walking through the streets of New York at night in a heavy coat and sunglasses, people walking fast by me, just wandering around without a purpose...
  
  Cause I'm not real anymore...
  
  I am an illusion.

  General Comment:He kind of feels like everything is going to hell with himself. He's everything he doesn't want to be and he is an illusion of the person he wants to be, and is real to other people, but to himself is a clone of the jerks that are in the world. He is the damage to himself, but the relief to others with his music.

  General Comment:Robert Randolph on the lap steel. That was great. I wish they'd release Rob and Robert covering Jimi Hendrix's "Voodoo Child" at the Save The Music concert. They're an excellent pair, and this song proves it. Good writing, good sound.
