Walkin' - for your love
Walkin' - for your love
Walkin' - for your love
Walkin' - for your love


I'm only going where my eyes are going
I'm only going where my toes are pointed
I just bought me this new pair of big shoes
I'm only going if I can walk there with you


Shinin' - for your love
Shinin' - for your love
Shinin' - for your love
Shinin' - for your love


I'm afraid to open my eyes
I'm even afraid to look at you
Right here - I'm gonna open my eyes
I'm gonna move with you


Disappearin' - for your love
Disappearin' - for your love
Disappearin' - for your love
Disappearin' - for your love


We're only going in this closet here
I'm only going if the doorknob turns
I'm only going if the light goes on
I'm only going if I can boogie with you

But there is nothing here that catches my attention. Where are the creative lyrics? Interesting melody? I see that others think the same as you, but after attending >50 Dead shows over several decades, I cannot see the similarity. Other than a lengthy duration.

True story, and probably told elsewhere on this site:

Ten years ago, my sons were playing on a very, very good high school soccer team.  They, with another stout-hearted young man, made a formidable defense that took the team to the Florida state championship game.  

One day I said something complimentary about that young man, and my older son replied, "Yeah, I think he has a feel for the game that comes from him getting high all the time."

"What?!?!"

Younger son: "C'mon, Dad, you didn't know he was a head?  After all, he owns every Widepsread Panic CD ever printed."

Later that night, over the internet, I ordered every Widespread Panic CD ever printed.  They have not disappointed.

I will refrain from any thoughts regarding condom usage and the like, but this song, which I have heard many times here, never seems to get anywhere. What is the f-ing point? There is a riff and there it is again: and again, ad infinitum (well, in truth it does end). It's not especially offensive, but neither does there seem to be any structure or point. Repeated listenings have failed to advance the case for the merits of this song. Maybe it's just me.

 
I think "a riff...again and again..without structure" is their point, as it seems to be with most so-called "jam bands".  It doesn't do much for me either, but plenty of folks seem to enjoy it.

Widespread Panic believes that art education, and in particular music education, is integral to the overall education and advancement of children. Art allows for personal expression, appreciation of ideas, celebration of cultural awareness, sharing emotions, and gives purpose to life. Widespread Panic agrees with research findings that art education supports more traditional academic subjects as well as being a worthy pursuit in its own right.

Funny you mention Scott, becaue I feel that he way overplays the guitar.  To each his own, but when I listen to Murawski play, I think that he needs a good editor. 

When Houser played with WSP he had a very unique guitar approach.  The band is very different now with Herring who I actually think has a similar approach as Scott.

It's also possible that I have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about.

I love the beat - but the song itself is just not musically inspiring for me. Still, when I hear it, I tap my foot and do that stupid shoulder-jerk thing when you're sitting at the computer...

I hate this song.  I like this song. I won't rate it because I'm so ambivalent about it that I just can't make up my mind.

Agreed.  I missed a chance (several actually) to see them play at the flippin' National Guard Armory at Clemson U (go Tigers) for 5 bucks in the mid 80's.  Idiot.

Panic is way more than the music. They have a cult-like following (i mean cult in a good way). I went to a concert with an avid WSP fan and friend and I was diggin' it...on the floor EVERYONE was dancin' non-stop. After like an hour and a half I went up to the top of the arena thinking I could sit and take a break. Huh. EVERYbody up there was on their feet dancing their asses off! All young white kids. Unreal. they all know all the words to the songs. Best part is the parking lot. Lots of really great folk. Intermission. Pre-concert. Post-concert. Food. Drink. I think like the Dead, it becomes way more than the music.

Little Feat would\'ve been proud to have it on their repertoire, I think. After each time RP plays it, I can\'t get it out of my head for a long time.
