Up and up and up I climb,
When I came up I was so far behind,
My head takes a lickin',
But my heart keeps on tickin,
Just the same.

Always startin' over but somehow,
I always know where to begin.

Round and round and round I ride,
And just when I looked I hadn't even began,
To feel the effect,
A cool, dark fever,
On the brain.

That feelin' takin' over,
Like a holy rollercoaster,
To the grave.

How can I await the day?
And last the night I'm here to see?
How do I await the mother lode?

It's the art of feeling naked in your clothes.

Again, again, again I tried,
That's how I knew I would never be denied,
That face in the mirror,
Who could it be? It was my own.

That cool, dark figure,
That's when I knew I was alone.

On and on and on I drive,
When will I know I have finally arrived?
So far I've gone, so far to go,
It never ends.

Always starting over but somehow I always know where to begin,
Always starting over but somehow I always know where to begin,
Always starting over but somehow I always know where to begin.

Too much reverb on the lead vocals.

I miss THIS MMJ. The new stuff is OK, but this is what drew me to them.

i started my love affair with the jacket with "at dawn".  i think it is a really accessible album and the sound on that album is AMAZING, if you like their reverb i guess.  (personally i LOVE it.  that album was recorded inside an old silo.  wonderous...)  any way you slice it though, they are all different and they are all good.  dig in!  itadakimasu!

Agreed... Z is a terrific album.
That said, the first record I purchased from them was Okonokos (live album).
MMJ are so good live, and that album not only shows off their skill, but it gives a good selection of songs.
It includes the best from Z, as well as other work.

Cool tune!  Reminds me of Neil Young with the guitar - but much better voice on this song.

Actually most RP listeners like them. Don't go by the comment page - go by the ratings. Most people don't take the time to comment on a song - the silent majority like My Morning Jacket.{#Smile}
 

Count me as the minority! I can't stand em and for the life of me just don't get all the hooplah over them!{#No} Oh well! To each his own, viva la diversity!

all the negative comments. . . . MMJ allways trick me.  I hear this great sounding, unique tune, then out of pure curiousity, I have to check to see who it is.
                                                . . .only to find out most of you think they suck.

man, I guess I just have no taste - I like something different now and then. I like them. Thanks RP for playing them!

Sounds Like one of those "off- year" Neil Young Albums that didn't quite work out. (and Yes, I'm a huge Neil fan).
Posted 15 years ago by HarrO    [ Reply ]
Something about the caterwauling singing really rubs me the wrong way.  Normally I like this kind of music, but the voice ruins it for me.  Reminds me of REM at its worst.

The Brown Hotel is beautiful and historic. In fact, we stay there every time we see MMJ in Louisville (it's their hometown, dontcha know). Great band - way underrated, if you ask me.

the local station here (non clear channel and decent new rock) plays stuff from "Z" "off the record". This is more country western sounding. Its ok, these guys can rock though.

Ruckus only knows two songs and one of 'em's Freebird.
