    And I always picture it a hot and steamy summer night where he's in a haze just wandering the streets.

    Would love it if they played it at Wrigley! I love, love, love this song. Definitely my favorite off Binaural.
    Are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?

    Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned...

    Yeah that^^^^. Love this song. I picture a guy driving around aimlessly in the rain. No place to go. No desire to go any place. I think we all feel this way sometimes. Not a good feeling but an amazing song that captures that feeling beautifully lyrically and musically

    Amazing song. Maybe their most creative moment. Love all the swirling background stuff and the main chord progression is so unique.

    Got to hear it at my third show. I love it but I will admit it can be a momentum killer depending on where its put in the set.

    I may have told this story once before here.. but I was at the tampa show (2003 maybe?) And I never liked this song on the album, so it was my opportunity for a piss break. Thankfully, the song is long, and as I made my way back to my seat, I was awestruck by the way this song filled the arena. It was stellar! Now I love it and think of that show every time I hear it.
