Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques

Josh Average	#1 by Josh Sanchez at Feb 4, 1990 at 7:16 PM EST
	This song is about high hopes... how everyone has high hopes about their lives... how far they go but the regret of not having gotten to where they really wanted to and then "Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us. To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side" burning bridges the old metaphor.... but still "There's a hunger still unsatisfied Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon Though down this road we've been so many times" we keep looking forward until we die.

No Picture Tyler Wanna Be	#2 by Tyler Swagar at Sep 11, 2007 at 4:37 AM EST
	It always reminded me of the X-men (I was big into comic books back then). I guess it's the part about magnets and miracles. Musically, it is one of my favorites. I can't believe it's been 10 years since they've had anything new. I guess Dave's been busy but... I WANT ANOTHER FLOYD ALBUM!
