~~~*3rd & Final Update added 09/11/04*~~~

This song means so much to me that I just had to tab it..I've tried to
make it as clear and less complicated as possible by putting the time
and seperated each guitarists part (all 3 guitar parts have been
tabbed). As with every tab, play along with the song to learn it
quickly. I really hope you like the tab.. I've worked my butt off
tabbing it. Rate and comment please! Cheers. Emails with requests,
suggestions, comments, death threats, etc are all welcome.

i read in a magazine interview that this song was about a 12 year old boy who sneaks out of his house one night and steals his parents car to drive to his girlfriends house to see her one last time before she moves away. the band likes to think of stories and write the songs to go along, from what i understand. i love listening to this and imagining the story along with it.

Stipje I have those versions too! By the way, you are amazingly cool in my book for having them. I really like strings, it makes it more sad and dramatic. But the long version rules all. You can't beat the original.

The original 8minute version is on "The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place". The other two are on the "Friday Night Lights OST", "With Strings" is 4minutes and "Goodbye" is 2minutes. It is one of their most beautiful pieces and the additional strings really do add to it. Hopefully the next album will pick up from there. 1 2 Next

Just feels weird how much can be said by listening to the instrumental guitars here. Even if it may not be what the band was thinking when they came up with it, you can apply what it means to you. And not to bash, but Digital Monkey, so we all know it's instrumental but in order to post somebody had to put something under the song title even if it was a "space bar" since you can't represent that without it seeming like a typo...So perhaps for lack of a more educated term, you're the "idiot" if you think about it since you were in the slightest bit seeing what people posted for this song.

This was one of the first songs I had heard from the band and I absolutely adored it - and still do, for that matter. You can never really fully interpret an instrumental song due to the fact that it always stirs up different feelings in everyone. On that note, I won't bother to throw in my interpretation. Though, I love how Explosions can stir thoughts in ways that words never could. Amazing band.

this song is one of those songs that transcends musical tastes, and can be loved by everyone because it gets them on a less superficial level. it is so amazing. i wish their other songs were this good.

Am I the only one who has 3 versions of this song? A shot one (goodbye), one about 4 minutes long (with Strings) and a long version (+ 8 minutes). Love all three of them.
