Ah...the old On-line Guitar Archive. There's a blast from the past. I think I paid like $50 back in the mid 90s for the Fully Completely guitar tab book...then I discovered OLGA which had everything...and it was free.
Btw, my vote here was for
Stay. Love it...but love the others more. Side note: I always thought it was funny that on the next album they had a song called
Leave.
When you get down to a final four and love all the songs, i had to choose Stay, because I guess you have to vote for something.
How 23 people could choose Toronto #4 is stunning, but maybe their reasons are the same as mine...have to choose one.

He is talking about his "music at work". Sure, there are some simplistic rhymes (work/jerk) but there are also some great lines like "In a sink full of ganges, I remain". This captures the overall sentiment of the song, which is the struggle to create/write something worthwhile. Being immersed in the waters of one of the most polluted rivers in the world, the Ganges, is him wallowing in the filth of unworthy work. He lays out his rules for song writing ("Avoid trends and cliches, Don't try to be up to date") and shows the effort it takes ("Night so long it hurts") to hang in there for that moment of inspiration ("When the sunlight gets the olive oil").
I'm not ready to let go of My Music at Work just yet.
Your posts are so incredible, your insights are edible. I'd sell a giraffe and I'd give you half just to occupy your mind.
Toronto #4 Is a beautiful song, sad to see it voted off but so happy it was dusted off during the MMP tour.
