Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Pat Lead Player	#1 by Pat O'Shea at Sep 28, 2007 at 8:40 PM EST
	The middle verse that starts with "excuse me did you say..." is really good. Of course this song is about child sexual abuse. And basically the girl who went through this doesn't want to talk about what happened, because she doesn't want to re-live it. It follows saying "we'll take man's dirty deeds and suck them out by cosmic means into the sun hurl them where they'll be happy burning" This is him imagining how great it would be if he could take all this pain and the memories from the girl and hurt them to the sun, so she wouldn't suffer. But of course life isn't TV so he can't. He wants to do whatever he hcan for her, love her. He feels refreshed when he watchers he sleep, because maybe she is at peace, away from the trouble. Its a beautiful song, on a terrible subject. I love 311's positive outlook on life. Obviously there isn't much positive coming out of child sexual abuse, but they do show the love we as humans need to show.

	Its hard to put into words how great I think this song is. SA did an incredible job with stretching his voice on this one. He also needs to be commended for a great job writing the foundation to the song musically. On the album preview on the website here's what SA said regarding this song: "There exists in this country something so deadly and prevalent, yet so taboo at the same time. It can destroy a persons sense of self, their relationships, their will to live. Chances are, you know someone who is stricken with this yet they haven't told you a single thing. However, if you were to think about it, you would find warning signs in their personality if you knew what to look for. This song is about child sexual abuse."

No Picture Chris (a.k.a. " Wanna Be	#3 by Chris (a.k.a. "Spikes") Muhler at Oct 5, 2007 at 2:12 AM EST
	SA truly shines on this record. the bridge of this song ("I'm on wounded knee") where tim slows the tempo down and sa's melody soars in the backround is Golden. Definetly one of the highlights of this album.
