Their whole first album is magic. And this is the most magic of the tracks. From interviews I get the impression that the band itself reveres this track, like a sort of mystical gift that was bestowed on them.
I so wish they’d reband for a tour. I still recall when they first garnered attention as that new band from Athens in the 80’s. Such collectively talented musicians and a phenomenal group…
It’s about politics. A perfect circle of acquaintances and friends. It’s all about politics, and that’s when the guy that wrote the song left the band.

It’s a muggy night and I am driving around middle Georgia in the late ‘80s looking for a pretty girl to share this song.

What the hell does "Heaven assumed, shoulders high in the room" mean? 😂😂
I would assume it's a feeling of pride that you are going to heaven because of the good things you've done
@@DrMaiXiang Mmh, EXTREMELY interesting interpretation.
Shoulders high in the womb
If meaning feels important, feel into what it means to you.

Can't touch 1989's performance...not bad though.
