it really does make sense...almost a little bit like Black to me (lyrically, at least) leaving someone behind, but still hopeful they'll have a great life ('I know someday you'll have a beautiful life/I know you'll be a star')
yep thats what i had in mind, actually. what a great song.
another Candlebox fan here who loves Lucy and Happy Pills as well.
they are sadly forgotten - don't know why.
they deserve more attention
I wish I saw them perform sometime here in Europe...

candlebox is criminally underrated.
saw them in hartford 07 and they kicked major ass.
small general admission joint called the webster.
there were a lot of cool pj fans and stuff, but for some reason there was alot of fuckin wack-jobs. one drunk/shroomed out hick proposed on stage .. his girl was even more fucked up. when they climbed down she fell right on top of me and then turned and stared me in the eyes like she was looking at jesus. then there was a couple next to me practically fucking.
that's just the webster though
show was great
understanding is one of my favorite tunes
I was at the Webster for Candlebox. Great show - I thought they were better in 07 than the 3 other times I saw them in the 90s. Can't wait for the new CD.
On a side note, did anyone check out Kevin Martin's solo project, Kevin Martin and the Hiwatts? I thought it was a great CD - equal to if not better than the previous 2 Candlebox CDs IMO.
Now maybe I didnt mean to treat you bad
But I did it anyway
And not maybe
Some would say your life was sad
But you lived it anyway
And now maybe
Your friends they stand beside they watch you crumble
As you falter to the ground
And now maybe
Your friends they stand beside as you were flying
Oh you were flying oh so high
But then some day people look at you for what they call their own
They watch you suffer
Yeah they hear you calling home
But then some day we could take our time
To brush the leaves aside so you can reach us
But you left me far behind
Now maybe I didnt mean to treat you oh so bad
But I did it anyway
Now maybe some would say youre left with what you had
But you couldnt share the pain
No, no, no
Couldnt share the pain they watch you suffer
Now maybe I could have made my own mistakes
But I live with what Ive known
Yes maybe we might share in something great
But wont you look at where weve grown
Wont you look at where weve gone
But then someday comes tomorrow holds a sense of what I fear for you in my mind
As you trip the final line
And that cold day when you lost control
Shame you left my life
So soon you should have told me
But you left me far behind
Now maybe I didnt meant to treat you oh so bad
But I did it anyway
Now maybe some would say youre left with what you had
But you couldnt share the pain
No, no, no
Now maybe I didnt mean to treat you oh so bad
But I did it anyway
No maybe some would say youre left with what you had
But you couldnt share the pain
I said times have changed your friends
They come and watch you crumble to the ground
They watch you suffer
Yeah they hold you down
Hold you down
Maybe brother maybe love I didnt mean to treat you bad
But you left me far behind
Left me far behind
Left me far behind
that song is about Andy Wood if anyone was wondering...I'm pretty close with kevin martin and his family...his mom and sister both strongly believe its about Andy...he looked up to him A LOT
"Well, I think this band is incapable of sucking."
-my dad after hearing Not for You for the first time on SNL .
thank you for saying that...people are very quick to hammer on them whenever they are brought up.
but I'm confused....THERE ARE OTHER 18-25 YEAR OLD PJ FANS IN WESTERN WASHINGTON!?!?!
I thought there never were! I thought I was all alone on this side of the state, but I met one in college and he's one of my good friends now. And it looks like there are TWO more! Going to see Flight to Mars? I'll be there next Sat.!
Don't let the world bring you down, not everyone here is that fucked up and cold. Remember why you came and while you're alive, experience the warmth before you grow old.
Best two days of my life: Oasis at MSG and Pearl Jam at the Gorge.
Did I feel this way back then?
Did you wake up to the sound of pouring rain?
Fading days of blue rush past your eyes
Would you lose yourself in someone else's vain?
Or should you shout your mind out when the loss began?
High until you washed away
It's all the same
I realized it through this song
I sing out loud and call your name
Do you feel I'm only someone you could never ever know?
In it all you'll find, you see
you're not that far from me
So walk and hold your head up high
A stone's throw away
I feel right now like I felt way back then
The center of my life I lost it all
Never ever knew how much I'd loved
until you left, you're gone
Fell right now like I was chasing you the same way
High until you washed away
It's all the same
I realized it through this song
Sing out loud and call your name
Do you feel the only someone you could never ever know?
In it all you find, you see you're not that far from me
To walk and hold your head up high
A stone's throw away
I would like this stone to roll
High until i washed it all away
It's all the same
I realized it through this song
Sing out loud and call my name
Do you feel the only someone you could never ever know
In it all you find
You see you're not that far from me to
walk and hold your head up high
A stone's throw away
You're just a stone's throw away
Never knew how much I'd loved until you're gone
Never knew how much I'd love
Until you're gone away
Feel right now like I felt way back then
The center of my life I lost it, lost it all
Never knew how much I'd loved until you're gone
Never knew how much I'd loved until you're gone away
A stone's throw away

...we should start our own club or something
I really, really wanted to go...but I think my band is supposed to be playing that night AND I need a fake ID haha. I turn 21 in a month and a half...I'm pretty sure there has been like 50 21+ shows that I've wanted to go to since I turned 20...

I'm right there with you, there's been so many shows I can't get into because I'm not 21. Flight to Mars has mocked me for like, four years running. The only reason I can get into Candlebox is because I know one of the bouncers at King Cobra. You're pretty lucky though, I still have 9 months :(
deep, deep blue of the morning
gets to me every time

Well at least you get to see candlebox, that'll kick some ass.
if you and/or pearlsgirl are on aim or icq you should hit me up sometime...my screenname is in my profile
