    Even after all these years, this one STILL gives me goosebumps. Whenever I listen to this album, this is one of the tracks I get stuck on, and have to listen to 4 or 5 times in a row (along with "The Stone" & "The Dreaming Tree" — and maybe "Halloween", depending on my mood at the time). It's just SO intense, and there's just SO much going on in it — it really is one of those songs that has something new to offer you everytime you listen to it. ... I just wish that Béla's part were more forward in the mix — it really feels too backgroundish, like there're banjos on the wallpaper, and it's too good for that. I have to sit too still to hear him properly. ... Now that I'm thinking about it, Hell, even BOYD sounds too far back. I mean, I get that the violins are meant here just to underscore the violence in Dave's part, putting his words in italic & bold type, but all the same, it feels ... not quite right. Alanis, on the other hand, is exactly where she belongs: As far away as possible.

    What a phenomenal song! Love the strings and horns...Dave Matthews compares to no-one! His voice is like an instrument in itself.

    Don't drink the water, especially if it's from the Chicago River. http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1490541/20040825/dave_matthews_band.jhtml

    I believe it's Central Park, it reminds me of that at least. I do agree this is way better live. Love DMB!
