this is the most beautiful thursday song.  the way that the two guitars blend together 
so well, and the simple complexity of the song are just pure genius. this tab is as close 
as I can get on this song.  i posted the other tab a long time ago when I figured out a few parts 
and was proud of it.  Email me if you like it   redakk22@hotmail.com      AIM: redakk

Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Chris Rhythm Player	#1 by Chris Pray at Dec 10, 1971 at 6:44 PM EST
	this song means the world to me.. thursday captures every moment with perfection. when pop is officially dead and bands like these are in the mainstream.. let's hope that they don't forget what they are and that it doesn't become some trend.. thursday is so amazing

No Picture Jimmy "Hoffa" Average	#2 by Jimmy "Hoffa" at Jul 10, 1972 at 8:17 PM EST
	But then again, I thought I had a point before. It was about this song: when he goes from talking about the beautiful magnificent sunset, he then says that in this beauty, no one even lives here. They are too busy wasting their lives and making the same mistakes over and over with their lives. They make up this life, but are not willing to live it. when he says that we often struggle only for the right to say we have improved conditions, he means that we do things not to have done them, but just to be given the credit for doing them. When he talks about forming communities for exclusionary devices, he's talking about how we as humans need to have acceptance in some class on some level. Not only to be a part of something, but to keep others out. Also, people are calling for someone to teach them, but no one will answer their call. When Geoff goes on to talk about the books and pages and vanishing alphabets, he's talking about something like how we do these things, for example "write a book", even though it means nothing to us. Then when someone "reads" it, they are reading aloud the sounds of a vanishing alphabet, the "alphabet" being our ability to "write the book" so to speak. All right, as we can all tell, that last part is still kind of being worked out in my mind. Thanks for listening!

No Picture Max Wanna Be	#3 by Max Contreras at Jan 18, 1973 at 12:48 AM EST
	hey everyone! umm, these lyrics are a little bit wrong as i recal, it was mourning red baithed ridges instead of mourning red bay at the bridges and instead of incan desert ground its incandescent ground. ummmm i dont wanna sound like an ass but i probably do. just corecting the lyrics. srry.

No Picture Travis Wanna Be	#4 by Travis Alford at Feb 26, 1977 at 11:01 PM EST
	And so often we don't struggle to improve conditions We struggle for the right to say "we improve conditions" That can say so much.

No Picture � james � Average	#5 by � james � at Sep 16, 1977 at 4:44 PM EST
	Blah, who gives a shit if they are trendy? I highly doubt they will get that trendy, because the majority of the public are too preoccupied with spoonfed clear channel radio bullshit/ too dumb to care. Even if, Geoff is a awesome songwriter, summed up in this line: And so often we don't struggle to improve conditions We struggle for the right to say "we improve conditions" so very very true.

No Picture drw Average	#6 by drw drw at Sep 21, 1977 at 9:50 PM EST
	This song to me is the most touching, brutally honest songs i have heard in quite a long time. Thursday is a band whos lyrics continue to stick out. Where the circle ends is a perfect example of this I agree with AlwaysLast, everything about them is real. Its hard to explain exactly but this song is just touching in a way that makes you think wow... what the heck are we doing wth ourselves.

No Picture micheal Lead Player	#7 by micheal mceachern at Dec 15, 1977 at 4:27 AM EST
	Thursday is the best band i know of, and well if they do become trendy... i will still be one of their biggest fans! They are awesome down to earth kind of guys... Who deserve the best! Oh yea great song! His voice is amazing...

No Picture Dusty Wanna Be	#8 by Dusty Delonge at Dec 25, 1979 at 8:48 PM EST
	simple....... Thursday is the best group. I have yet to hear another group sound better to me than this one. Especially this song. I happened to hear Thursday's "full Collapse" cd first before "Waiting", which happenens a lot with groups i listen to, anyways I happenen to download a song from their "waiting" cd, where the circle ends, and absalutly went beserk. On a rampage, I had to get more of their songs! finally having the entire cd, I have calmed lol, but listen to it so very often. I mean I'm not some psycho obsesser of Thursday, but they Kick ass, I just hope they dont get too popular =/ hate it when that happens, I need all the Thursday for myself lol Just my 2 copper

No Picture Katie Wanna Be	#9 by Katie St. Michel at Sep 3, 1982 at 3:51 PM EST
	i dont know... but i think its a good thing that people are finally getting exposed to GOOD music

No Picture James Average	#10 by James Davison at Jan 20, 1984 at 5:52 AM EST
	This is a very bleak but all too real view of modern society. Well written, brilliantly crafted song.

No Picture jo_silverhawk Average	#11 by jo_silverhawk at Jul 28, 1985 at 12:16 AM EST
	this song is just simply....amazing. the same goes for the whole band. i'm so happy that an awesome REAL band finally came out of my home state. i wish i could see them live...i missed one of their shows without knowing it...i was really mad...neway- i love their lyrics...they have so much deep meaning and thought to them...simply incredible

No Picture nick Average	#12 by nick coffeen at Jan 6, 1987 at 7:38 AM EST
	punkrockntuna--aren't they great? they're catching on to a lot of people and they're getting MTV2 air time. Kinda sad...but if its what they want. I don't know who they're signed with but I'm sure they've gotten big name offers. It will be interesting to see which type of path they take.

No Picture josh Average	#13 by josh meador at Feb 19, 1987 at 5:32 AM EST
	this is an awesome song. so relaxing. i just sit and watch the world move around me with this playing in the background.

No Picture Razor Wanna Be	#14 by Razor Edge at Nov 6, 1988 at 4:53 AM EST
	I think all that thursdaylvr meant to say (I know her, so believe me) was that she really loves thursday (duh!) and that she just would like to see things stay the same. we've changed our minds recently about this issue, though, and I KNOW that we can trust them to make the right decisions. GO THURSDAY!

No Picture Toni Average	#15 by Toni at Sep 26, 1990 at 9:02 PM EST
	i've been listening to thursday for about 2 years now. and through out the time i've listened to them. you get to really understand there lyrics. i mean in a whole different way. not just from listening to it with music. but just sit and listen to what he actually says. just amazes you of what these guys write. i love there lyrics. everything about them is real.

No Picture Tye Musical Genius	#16 by Tye williston at Aug 16, 1991 at 5:44 PM EST
	thursdaylvr............you're a moron. You're sad because they're getting recognition? Yeah, gigging around on indie labels is great, but you cannot.......i repeat.....cannot live forever off of it. Don't be angry that Thursday's music will be shared with a few more people......and before you lash back with a cheap rebuttle.......i've been a fan for quite some time now. Don't be so upset, and do what you were taught in kindergarden.......SHARE.

No Picture kostas Rhythm Player	#17 by kostas kouveliotis at Nov 13, 1993 at 2:51 AM EST
	wow, whoever posted these lyrics obviously doesnt have the cd. Its "The Book about the Basic Flaw" or "The Book About the Letter A"

No Picture Max Average	#18 by Max Benton at Apr 16, 1994 at 2:00 AM EST
	i do not want to see thursday turn into another blink or some 41 band, i like blink and stuff, but i just dont like seeing em sell out, there is no other band like thursday and there never will be another band like them, i am waiting for imitators to come and i will hurt them all. I found out about thursday about 6 or 7 months ago, right before they got the new record deal. that always seems to happen to me, i like an undiscovered band, and then they get famous, it's all good tho. all of thursdays songs are absolutely amazing. they have got to be one of the best bands out there, and thursdaylvr, who is the one who does the screaming in the background. i love that the best. cross out the eyes is probably my favorite song by thursday, just because it's so freakin awesome. i am really into thursday right now and i would cry if they became sellouts, i am glad they quit with victory, that label was totally screwing them over, i hope that geoff's health doesnt become an issue for the band, i hope he stays well during warped tour, i love geoff, and would hate to see something else bad happen to him, well i think i am rambling a little too much . . . by the way, this is a great song :D

No Picture Ricky Rhythm Player	#19 by Ricky Cribb at Jun 18, 1994 at 4:49 PM EST
	okay, I have to say my name says it all. I love Thursday, I really do. I just don't want to see them get all famous on me. One of the great things about Thursday is that they are not manufactured, that the writing (from the great man Geoff Rickley) comes from somewhere completely untouched upon by any other artists out there, and I could probably go on for years. Okay punkrockntuna, here you go: They had their debut album titled "waiting" off of Eyeball Records, a little-known record label, mostly emo stuff. They are now signed to Victory Records, according to Geoff because they can get their stuff to reach more people through this new label. This is also why he says it wasn't "selling out" to have signed to a bigger record label. Anyway, their current cd is called "Full Collapse". Oh yeah, and their members are Geoff Rickley on vocals, Steve Pedulla on guitar, Tim Payne on bass, Tom Keeley on guitar, and Tucker Rule on drums. They come from New Jersey and have some incredible stuff. If you want to know more about "Understanding in a Car Crash" then check out what I posted about it earlier. Also, according to Geoff their song "How Long is the Night" is about his battle with insomnia caused by the incident which inspired "Understanding". I hope this gets you started in loving Thursday about as much as I do. If that's even possible... Anyway, Big News!!! Muchmusic now also plays the video for "Understanding in a Car Crash"!!!! I saw it today and thought, "how great for them"! and then I thought "how sad for us." :( To those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, well I'll just put it this way; I would pay millions of dollars to listen to Thursday intimately in a club, live. But on the other hand, if they get too famous and start playing packed arenas, I wouldn't pay nearly as much to see them. Another thing is that on this past tour Geoff, singing at a show every night, almost had a lung collapse. This is not good. Then if they get more of a following and have those fake fans come out to their shows and pay for Thursday merch and crap like that, and they get really big, then I will worry about his health as well as the rest of the bands'. I don't like to worry about my Geoffy. I am WIERD! boy, maybe I'm up too late or something. I haven't slept in the past two days, so if I'm rambling, I'm sorry. Geoffy? Where did that come from? Oh boy. Anyway, hope that helps. Gotta go, bye!

No Picture Peter Wanna Be	#20 by Peter Lambden at Nov 25, 1997 at 1:14 PM EST
	they better not turn trendy like blink 182 or millencoly or however you spell it

No Picture Eric Average	#21 by Eric Boozer at Oct 9, 1999 at 12:30 AM EST
	And so often we form communities Only to use them as exclusionary devices The community of the people who hate popular bands and sell-outs and trends...... Where would Earshot be w/out Tool w/out Helmet, etc.

No Picture The Four String Lead Player	#22 by The Four String Mother Fucker at Jan 26, 2000 at 7:58 PM EST
	Thursday is amazing. I just saw them perform on April 5th at the House of Blues in Chicago. Words cannot even begin to tell what went on that night. I actually got to talk to Geoff after the show and I wish I could have been able to talk to him more.. I simply thanked him for making such wonderful music and having such a love for it. Bands like Thursday make everything okay when you feel like it's not. And not to mention their sound is their own sound. Agah, I just love them.

No Picture Jon Badass	#23 by Jon Coath at Apr 17, 2000 at 5:23 AM EST
	oh, and to strike anywhere, please don't call people morons. you don't know thursdaylvr. if you did, then I might agree with you (lol), but you don't. so please ask first what exactly the meaning behind the post was. oh yeah, and even if you disagree with thursdaylvr, then you should please just say that instead of calling her a moron. thanks.

No Picture nick Professional	#24 by nick Sutliff at Mar 19, 2007 at 1:15 AM EST
	This song is simply amazing-- they discribe the sunrise so well, like all of those people who stay up all night and watch it with almost this sadness. I think the use of the sunrise is a metaphore for breaking the circle of depression and/or laziness. He is saying how this is where the circle ends, and it's time to get on with life.

No Picture kenzie Professional Badass	#25 by kenzie at May 12, 2007 at 9:18 PM EST
	this song is so amazing, this band is amazing though I do not know much about them. If any one could give me information about them I would be very happy but this song is all about condormism and how screwed up the majority of humas are. Read Ishmael by Daniel Quinn if you like this song.
