Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Jake Average	#1 by Jake Bounds at Mar 16, 1987 at 4:34 PM EST
	I absolutely love this song. It evokes so much mood with the music - the drumrolls, the ever-changing time signature, the arpeggiated chords. It also is a great piece of philosophical poetry. The first section represents the philosophical darkness of the past. Clouds are something that are very ethereal and shapeless. They grow darker and darker until they begin to release their energy violently. And suddenly, someone understands. The philosophies of old fall impotent before this comprehension. "Light streams down in bright unbroken beams." And the result? The dreams of men are finally able to be acheived.

	Hats off to you 'thesuperspd', this song is so underated. The timing of this piece just gets into your blood. Thunderheads are rumbling in the distant overture.. Love that shit!!
