This is the way that I play the bridge part to this song.
I think that it sounds better this way.

#1 by Shreder Dude at Oct 1, 2007 at 10:26 PM EST |
| I agree with Hippychips and Fanko. He's depressed maybe because a girl dumped him or something, so he wants to go out and get high to think about things. Great song | |

| yea this song is most likely about his ex-wife. Because as far as i know wildflowers was written during his divorce. but this is a great song anyway. all of his music is great. every one of his songs puts me in an incredibly euphoric state of mind. | |

| he's depressed, wants to get his mind off things, what's a better way than getting stoned with no one around "radio loud?" actually sort of a sad song. | |

| this song makes me think of this driving down a country road with the window down smokin a cigarette at that point were the moon is out but the light is still in the west, but its not daytime, but its not really night, flying down this country road with this song playing, after a realaiotnship or some other traume, knowing for the first time after the accident that you know, you'll be alright after all. it's going to hurt and take some time, but you'll live. | |

| This song does make me want to turn the radio loud, and roll a joint. I think its about getting dumped by a cold hearted chick, and wanting to get your mind off of it. | |

| This song totally agrees with me. People keep telling me who I am, what I want, and how to do things. They don't know how it feels to be me. The anti-depressants don't work. So then you use natural medicine, i.e. cannibis. Sad, but that's how it is for many people. | |

| whatup meng. how come everyone has come down to arguing in this thing, if any of you really really smoked bud you'd make this more of an enlightening discussion, rather than a fucking pathetic argument. sorry. but seriously. us stoners dont even have to explain, we know what the song means to us individually. peace and love, meng | |
