like a deer in the headlights, frozen in real time and I'm losing my mind, it's time to move on
I really do love coming to this particular place.
I'm reaching there to try and find a theme. It's just a really nice collection of songs. I think it does have an underlying theme of time and what it does to you.
A person could visualize him putting on 20 pounds and being the kind of tight end you watch on Saturdays. By the same token, he?s got the kind of jump shot, agility and ball skills to make somebody a real nice forward.
They are a scrappy team and they didn't quit. They battled the whole way.
We enjoy playing with each other, which I think is a pretty important part of this. If we didn't, we'd have given it up a long time ago. The idea when we started was to take five people and keep 'em together no matter what and see what we could get out of it, and we've pretty much stuck to that plan.
We have a set list, but we work up a lot more (songs) than we're gonna do. That way we can throw things in and change it around, especially if we're in a place for two days. It's good to keep yourself interested. The last show we did five songs we never rehearsed and that certainly sparked us up.
You belong somewhere you feel free.
I love the music. I'm never, ever tired of playing it.
Some grow young, some grow cold...
It's always been great to be onstage. It's really effortless up there. It's not a lot of work.
I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings. Coming down is the hardest thing.
I ain't really sure, but it seems I remember the good times
I've got a room at the top of the world tonight. I can see everything tonight.
