Posts: 1339 12/27/2005 2:31 AM Damn baby...you frustrate me. Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	okay, here is the banter that occurs right before he plays "Gravity" on night one. out of the three shows, this is my favorite part. enjoy! ...and sure is a messed up thing, because a lot of people are sure of some things that aren't true, you know. and umm, and sometimes i don't know, sometimes i don't know. sometimes i wonder where the moment is going to be that i'm gonna hit the pitfall, where is it gonna be? umm, you make changes in your life, you make big changes. you go home and you do this and you do that, and you mess the formula up, you DEFINITELY mess the formula up, that's for sure. you know the formula's already gone. the question is, do you get lauded for going off the formula, or do everyone other than you end up saying like: "wellllll... you had to, you did what you did." and i dunno. sometimes i wake up and i wander around my house and i look for like new concoctions of snacks because i don't put snacks in my house because i'm, i'm on this fitness thing, but then when i get really hungry i start trying to like build snacks out of things that aren't snacks. and i'll be walking around my house and i'll go, "i don't have it, i don't have it, this is it, this is what, this is what falling off of it feels like. God, i guess, it does, of course it happens, of course it can happen to me, i'm no different from anybody else." and then sometimes when i'm playing i go like, "oh no, this is it, this is it." the fact that i've just played like a litany of songs from my life and then i play this last song, and there's this really marked difference between where the tunes are coming from. like the tunes before this one are coming like out of here [motions from left side of head], and out of like here [motions towards back of head], but this tune is coming out of here [motions from his chest/heart]. and as i'm playing, i'm going, "i am right on, like this is where it's AT!" like as i'm playing that tune i'm like, "THIS IS WHAT I WANNA DO! THIS IS WHERE I SHOULD BE! THIS IS EXACTLY WHERE I SHOULD BE!" so if i forget, please tell me this is exactly where i should be, but please tell me that umm, peanut butter off a spoon ain't right. [takes drink of water] what i did is i decided i wasn't gonna have the bread, so you know the bread will lead you to other more evil snacks. the bread is really the culprit. so i decided that i really wasn't gonna have the bread, but now i have the materials like the peanut butter, which in and of itself... i'm like building an epoxy of madness, and then well really the fluffernutter is just caulk really. when i started making fluffernutter sandwiches and lovin' them, like loving them, so i took the bread outta the equation, but now... and i have a thing where i dip the peanut butter first in the fluff, because fluff is only gonna have peanut butter in it, but the peanut butter won't only have fluff in it, so i have to keep the peanut butter clean, we're eating healthy right? and i walk around my apartment slowly like nursing myself like, like a little mouse... with a spoonful of peanut butter and fluff. as i walk around my house wondering if i still... (crowd member yells out: "eat the bread!" ) no, no [takes a drink of water] i have a chin that's ready to turn against me at ANY minute. [takes another drink of water] this chin is ready to disappear at any moment. right now i'm doing... i'm o-o-okay, i have somewhat of a jaw line, but you know, the problem is, when people photograph you on stage... they're below you, so every shot you ever see is like... actually... i'm gonna let you see what it looks like if you were uhh standing under the... it looks like this [proceeds to stand up with guitar in hand and lean back, forcing the double chin effect]. that is every picture of me ever... with a guitar in my hands. you mind, you don't mind if i play, if i play a couple more tunes? this is uhh, this is the last tune that's on the setlist so i will play... actually i'll play umm, yeah, i'll play... this is the last tune i'll play for you. but i wanna say thank you to eddie's so much and everyone at the attic, and uhh matthew kahler's here... look at matthew kahler back there [points to back of room where matthew was standing]. it's umm... i am the same guy, it's just that uhh... my watch now has a moon phase indicator on it. i am, i'm exactly the same, i promise you... it's just a bad dream! go back to bed. umm, this is the most important song i've ever written, it's a time capsule song. I WILL LISTEN TO IT EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE IF I NEED TO. it's honest to God the most important song i've ever written in my life, and it has the fewest words. i was in LA, and i was there for the summer, just writing tunes, and umm, i was in the shower. this was the other shower song. and... i don't know where it came from, but it's the damn truth you know, and i just sang, "gravity... is working against me." and i just want to say that my full-time job, being... this is true, being a musician is almost a side job to my full-time job of not screwing up. because the world was devised to be pretty damn even, except for terminal illness, and things that people just absolutely... they're just flukes and they're... you know, i don't know if they're making up for something else way far away that they don't deserve, but it all pretty much evens out. and if you're gonna do this thing and get paid, and you know, get a car over the phone, if you're gonna do this stuff, something else is gonna happen that is gonna be a temptation to pull you off of it because the people that don't have that going on... they're hoping for that, cause that makes the world even. that makes THEM even, it makes YOU even, and where i am now in my life, i'm on a track where as soon as you get in a room, the room is full of things to take you out of the room. "now that you've made it, here are a plethora of things you can do to not make it. here are a... here's the out door..." and... it's a fill-in-the-blank you know. it's like mad libs, it's like: [puts hand up to ear like a telephone] "oh hey john, this is PERSON THAT PLAYS... PERSON IN THE ROOM... umm, PERSON'S NAME, FAMOUS PERSON'S NAME wants to meet you, they want to meet at the top of FAMOUS RESTAURANT umm, they're really into ya, come on down, you know, in NUMBER minutes" and you go... "no." and inside you go... "yeah," but outside you go, "n-n-no." because those are all ways to take you out. they exist as soon as you get... even if you're not successful, when you get successful... it's like... i got successful when i was 23, and that's a crazy looking arc if you chart it out... and all i gotta do is stay up. and sometimes coming down is something to do, because staying up is really boring. if i go out to a party, most people who ask me to a party ask me there so i can be the famous guy at the party, not so i can meet famous people at the party. i am now... when i'm on a plane from new york to LA or LA to new york, and i go [looking around the room], "there are no famous people on the plane, there's usually always one famous person on a plane from new york to LA..." and i go, "ahh shit that's me!! that's not right!" umm, this is a song about... making sure you still love yourself... making sure you still have your head on, making sure you still say no the way your mom would say no. and i will need it every damn day of my life because it's easier to mess up than it is to stay here, and thank you guys so much for listening to me, and umm, you guys look out for yourself too. and thank you I Nine for opening up the show. and i hope that you guys are gonna have a crazy awesome Christmas, i gotta say Christmas just once, i gotta say it, and then happy holidays. this is "gravity." (he then plays "Gravity") -Christie-

I might be nuts, but Stop this train kinda reminds me a bit of 3x5.

Posts: 395 12/27/2005 8:41 PM Neon 12:47 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	"Stop This Train" is beautiful. The lyrics seem to perfectly fit the melody, like "3X5" does. Is "Over and Over" the song that he sang at the Housing Works show? If it's that one, then I also think that morphed into "The Hurt." The very first time I heard "Hurt", I thought it sounded like it had some elements of "Over and Over."

Posts: 7142 12/27/2005 8:52 PM We sleep walk in Hollywood Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Yes, Over and Over made it's first appearance at Housing Works and resurfaced at Benefit for Broadway. The pacing seems a bit different but the sound is very similar in my ears. Michelle "Where words fail, music speaks..." - Hans Christian Andersen
