Marred by tragedy*, Grandaddy's return** makes discarded tech*** a metaphor for Jason Lytle's divorce. Haunting and weird.
*Founding member & bassist Kevin Garcia died of a stroke, aged only 41, just a few weeks after the album's release.
**Their first album in 11 years.
***A classic Grandaddy theme / trope.
13. Grandaddy - The Last Place
Forget the words, the pictures are nice(A Brush With The Wild)
And dream of a girl or somebody else’s life
I'm trying a road that’s dead on the end
That’s how it goes, so copy and save and send
I just moved here, and I don’t wanna live here anymore(I Don't Wanna Live Here Anymore)
Countless lovers everywhere, I never know what’s gonna happen
They see me coming for a mile, all the while they were laughing
Next: Just f-in breathe.
Rediscovered them this year but still to give this one a listen. Must rectify that very soon.
ReplyDeleteYes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.
Delete(Perhaps I'm running out of inspiration for this game.)
Grandaddy's return is a cause for celebration, I need to revisit this. Did I miss Number 14?
ReplyDeleteWell, it's there. Did you miss it? Did you look? Or were you too horrified by it?
DeleteAccidentally overlooked, though not really a Weezer fan. I will check it out on your recommendation though.
DeleteSeemingly a short-lived reunion but a most welcome one. Nice pick.
ReplyDeleteI seriously admire the way Brian resolutely refuses to play this silly game of 17 word comments.
DeleteI tentatively await with the arrival of an artist I may be familiar with in this series.
ReplyDeleteI recounted and edited the number of words several times and still got it wrong - Double doh!
DeleteWell, you can count. Sentences that make sense... a little trickier. Oh, and don't hold your breath.
