	great great song, absolutely beautiful

No Picture Andres Wanna Be	#2 by Andres Hernandez at Mar 17, 1979 at 2:10 PM EST
	I always used to just read this as a really awesome love song, but LX's interpretation made me rethink that. That really makes sense, especially if you add in the "fading/failing green eyes" (I can never figure out which it is). Whichever way, these lyrics are great. I just wish I could buy Hum albums in shops in this country, rather than having to order them online.

	This song is pretty much a love song. (No crap). I think it's about how the guy's patiently waiting for a girl to like him and sees so much beauty in her. If thats now what it means, you try

	honestly one of my favorite hum songs ever, especially once you derive what its meaning is. 1

	i think it is about someone who is slowly dying (by whatever means). Many of the phrases seem to lend thmselves to this "like only you could see, like only you could do" past tense in the the second part that starts "i'm picturing a foresept in ice" i think it is "i'm picturing a force left in eyes" which would make more meaning to the entire part "but I just sit and wait for a blip to break the perfect little thin, green line" This makes me think of the green line you would see on a heart monitor, the blip would mean that the heart would beat again. the cloud seeding in order to induce rain upon the earth, "a dusty sleep you took to soon" seems to illustrate burial, the rain would feed the soil thathas been fed by the dead. basically dust to dust and the path of new life through death. "but i just sit and wait for a rhythm and a perfect little thin, green line" this line maybe has to do with his waiting for his own passing in order to have these dreams someday come true and he can be wih this person once again.

	You guys are on the right track. Let me say first my friends band recorded at Mat Talbots studio in Indiana, so this is third hand, but from the scource. This epic masterpiece is an endearing love song. However its a narrative of his own experience in the delivery room where he watched his son die shortly after delivery. He's wishing that his son could look back at him just to see him once, and one of you was right about the thin green line. Your all intuative people, give it a listen again and walk yourself through. (R.I.P.)
