I love the lyric feature... I'm music first, lyrics second and often don't cognitively know what songs are about. I never realized this was a very interesting song about music!

In the old days, record albums had liner notes and the lyrics and the names of the band members and some groovy artwork. Sometimes I miss the GOD.

I like this song. I have always liked this song. But the truth is it is not elocution but the mispronunciation of "hook" as "heart". So, in the end the song is a lie.

while trying to figure out words as i sing along to tunes i have absolutely no idea what the lyrics are, i am so guilty of singing "heart" here. 'the heart brings you back' makes perfect sense and it may explain how i determine the 'best lyyrics' to follow... cracks me up when i read the actual lyrics but may not change what i sing in the future...no offence to the song or songwriter(s)

How great to hear this again! I can never forget enjoying them jam outdoors at the Mary Rippon Theater on the CU Campus in May of '92... I was working up at A-Basin during that season -- that went till the end of May that year -- but was in Boulder partying away my days off with my buddy Kevin. They ROCKED solid!

For some reason 'Here Lizard, Lizard' is what I hear.

You might notice it's the same chord progression as Pachelbel's "Canon in D". You'll never hear Pachelbel the same again.

This and Run_Around = both very successful Singles, both also share an unusual trait

Chords are same through Verse and Chorus (Run Around only four continuous chords; this is 8)

Thanks for playing the only Blues Traveler song that I can stand.

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is how you backhand a compliment.

Would have bet money that this was The Barenaked Ladies, before I checked the display page. Good thing there was no one around to collect that bet

As one who was heavily influenced by the the Prog-Rock era of the early 70's, I quickly learned to listen to the music and sing along with whatever gibberish they were singing. It took many years for me to realize that songs can actually have intelligble lyrics.

So true! All these years I was wondering why I could rely on Michigan...

Harmonica players never get credit like lead guitarists or keyboard players. John Popper harmonica solos were pretty incredible.

+1 to 8, mostly for nostalgia reasons; this album came out my Senior year of high school, though it was 5 years later that I was SOLD on the sound of Blues Traveler....too bad I missed the H.O.R.D.E festivals though...oh well...Long Live RP!!

Sounds VERY SIMILAR to the Barenaked Ladies to me. Since they both formed at about the same time, it's probably only a coincidence. Or is it? My inquiring mind wants to know.

Listen to "Live from the Fall". I'm not a huge fan, but shows what they can do!

I dislike this band. The voice, the harmonica - eeeegadds!

Gack! Insufferable. Pachabel called, he wants his chord progression back.

I think Pachelbel would've enjoyed it, really.

The best version of this song by far is Emma Stone's Lip Sync Battle on Jimmy Fallon

Well except when Pachabel when down to the third he used the minor chord, whereas BT uses the major, so not strictly diatonic. Doesn't keep this song from sucking tho.

The "six" is a minor though.

Funny how the higher a song is rated, the more snarks and troll comments appear on the thread. Grow the f*** up people. I used to come to the comments page to find out more about the music, now all I find are childish insults.
