One of the greatest singer songwriters of our time. This is a wonderful song with a depth of message rarely found in music today. He has been to the places he sings about. I've been there too.
"... but this was a marriage of spirit, of flesh and bone..." Those are among the saddest lyrics ever written... A song of love for grownups, and uplifting despite it's sadness. Simply perfect.
I've only just discovered John Hiatt, so it's all new to me. I love making these discoveries and getting psyched over some great 'new' music, this guy is unreal.
Thank you, thank you to the Arrested Development fans who posted here. I heard this song right before a concert last night, and I'm sorry to say that I completely forgot what it was from. I love this song, though I kind of forgot about it, and I've been wracking my brain all day trying to remember where I first heard it. Now I want to watch Arrested Development.
I couldn't agree with you more, trublgrl!! This song was my introduction to John Hiatt...I just had to know all the lyrics and how fantastic and well written they were!! my favorite...."one day the train of pain won't stop no more" and "the heart won't remember the burning fire the next time you feel the flames of desire."....PRICELESS!!!
John Hiatt is one of the most under appreciated singer songwriters of our time. He's quite gifted. Of course, not everyone "gets" him. Listen to his other work and his songs covered by other signers. "Have a little faith in me" is one of the most covered songs in recording history. He's great but highly underrated.
I love this song. Just watching Arrested Development and this song pops up. I haven't heard it in so long. I forgot about it and it is now on my iPod. :-) iPod were not around when this tune hit.
Just saw John Hiatt last night in Dallas (Grand Praririe actually). What a great show, and I had neevr heard this song before. His guitarist was named Doug Lancio and was simply amazing. I have to go buy some more Hiatt CD's.
He used to play austin at least a couple time a year. Great show. Stubb's or La Zona Rosa..10 little indians..is a gem and nowhere to found on youtube.
I saw Hiatt for the first time this past Tuesday at Meridian's MSU Riley Center, and he rocked out. you're right, his guitarist was amazing. what john call him, the king of all thing strings? Sweet concert.
Is it me, or does it seem like unless someone else sings his songs, everything Hiatt does gets overlooked? I wouldn't have even seen this video if CZcams didn't exist!
I love that even though this clip itself had nothing to do with arrested development originally..... the chat here continues to be a mix of both hiatt and AD love.... hehe
the 'version' on AD was edited to fit certain points in the show, so it's the same original material but they edited it a bit to highlight certain story points
Woah, this song has a 12 beat phrase that's pretty damn catchy! I came up with a similar riff and thought it was pretty unique. You find it in African music often (check Thomas Mapfumo ), but I never heard a pop song do it so well till now.
@tacofreshify Thank you! Your comment prompted me to pick up the ol' Les Paul and I found the beat in the key of C. Outstanding tune! And thanks CZcams, too.
@arothmanmusic if you dont know about john hiatt...you should check him out - a true american treasure...check out albums STOLEN MOMENTS, WALK ON, SLOWTURNING, BRING THE FAMILY, PERFECTLY GOOD GUITAR to name a few
A moment of steel, a dry eyed house Did he say goodbye to you, or did you kick him out I know you're not afraid to go alone But this was a marriage of spirit, flesh and bone Now what you gonna do when the planets shift What you gonna do, gonna slit your wrists Bleed all over the milky way The stars in your eyes look red today.... ......The heart won't remember the burning fire The next time you feel the flame of desire
@rogerrrubin .......You loved him stronger than he could feel But he was wrapped up in himself like an orange peel Now what you gonna do with the bruise and the blush What you gonna do when there's no rush Cop a little misery at the corner store Well one day that train of pain won't sthrowing up ashes on the floor If this is a lesson in love, well what's it for The heart won't remember the burning fire The next time you feel the flame of desire
If men would act like men (and fathers) instead of like selfish children, women could be the mothers and wives they are meant to be... and the children would all be better off.
"Wow - the male/female social discussion/drama in the comment body is way more interesting than the song." Wrong! I am mystified that you would denigrate John Hiatt's obvious talent... This is a truly outstanding song. He is one of the best song writers alive today. Not to mention his amazing voice...

Ah, I remember watching this on VH-1 back in the 90's! I forgot all about it. Good tune. :)

His vocals are what raise this song to a higher level. Raspy, earnest, sincere, makes my body move in time, leaves me wanting more.

To our children's children's children we can evolve ... just Cry Lover pour your love over every child!!!

I was watching Arrested Development the other day and this got stuck in my head - glad I was able to find it by Googling the lyrics. Great stuff.
Wow, i wasn't expected this many AD fans to be on this video. That's awesome.

10 EPISODES AND A MOVIE!!!
'Nuf said. The dude's a true American treasure.
I'm a big fan of Arrested Development. But the greatness of this song supersedes even AD. John Hiatt is amazing, saw him live a week, amazing...

Must we re remembered what a fine song write John Hiatt is?
A great song for a great show.
Just saw John Hiatt last night in Dallas (Grand Praririe actually). What a great show, and I had neevr heard this song before. His guitarist was named Doug Lancio and was simply amazing. I have to go buy some more Hiatt CD's.
Amazing song.
This song speaks to me.

I saw Hiatt for the first time this past Tuesday at Meridian's MSU Riley Center, and he rocked out. you're right, his guitarist was amazing. what john call him, the king of all thing strings? Sweet concert.
Incredible
Is it me, or does it seem like unless someone else sings his songs, everything Hiatt does gets overlooked? I wouldn't have even seen this video if CZcams didn't exist!
Love the beginning mandolin section!

Song does more than talk to me!

I LOVE YOU ALL !
Evil comes from weakness, irresponsibility end egoism.
Well put! :)
i totally agree!
I listened to this song the other day and then immediately blue myself.
I love that even though this clip itself had nothing to do with arrested development originally..... the chat here continues to be a mix of both hiatt and AD love.... hehe
Immergluck kicking ass as usual.
Exact same thing here!
the 'version' on AD was edited to fit certain points in the show, so it's the same original material but they edited it a bit to highlight certain story points
WELL SAID MY FRIEND.
yea lol im excited=)
you rock
Agree!
rock rock
I love arrested development!
Woah, this song has a 12 beat phrase that's pretty damn catchy! I came up with a similar riff and thought it was pretty unique. You find it in African music often (check Thomas Mapfumo ), but I never heard a pop song do it so well till now.
@tacofreshify Thank you! Your comment prompted me to pick up the ol' Les Paul and I found the beat in the key of C. Outstanding tune! And thanks CZcams, too.
If you had read any of the comments, you would have known that this song was in a few episodes of Arrested Development.
Same.
HA! Me too!
Another song is "Gonna get together" by Leroy. Not sure if that's the one you're talking about though.
I miss arrested development, the whole show was just perfect
Me too
yea i first heard it on arrested development also=)
"I'm going to go tell the kids."
"I've made a huge mistake."
hahahaha just watched it yesterday
COME ON!
Stabbed in the back ;)
no mistakes. just start from
now.
@arothmanmusic if you dont know about john hiatt...you should check him out - a true american treasure...check out albums STOLEN MOMENTS, WALK ON, SLOWTURNING, BRING THE FAMILY, PERFECTLY GOOD GUITAR to name a few
M here coz of Arrested Development:)
another reason to love arrested development
lol It's GOB!!
A moment of steel, a dry eyed house
Did he say goodbye to you, or did you kick him out
I know you're not afraid to go alone
But this was a marriage of spirit, flesh and bone
Now what you gonna do when the planets shift
What you gonna do, gonna slit your wrists
Bleed all over the milky way
The stars in your eyes look red today....
......The heart won't remember the burning fire
The next time you feel the flame of desire
The small intestine saved GOB.
Am I still in prison?
No, you're in the hospital.
.....Ta Da!
@rogerrrubin .......You loved him stronger than he could feel
But he was wrapped up in himself like an orange peel
Now what you gonna do with the bruise and the blush
What you gonna do when there's no rush
Cop a little misery at the corner store
Well one day that train of pain won't sthrowing up ashes on the floor
If this is a lesson in love, well what's it for
The heart won't remember the burning fire
The next time you feel the flame of desire
yea lol
Some of the more astute among us have discovered him. I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm a better person for it.
alpeace @ robmundo - A.D. is fuckin' hilarious. Great show. Why it was killed off is way over my head. Glad technology is alive :-)
You did obviously, since you asked the question.
If men would act like men (and fathers) instead of like selfish children, women could be the mothers and wives they are meant to be... and the children would all be better off.
Check out Mary Ann Redmond's amazing cover of this song here on youtube.

I'm here for a magician named Gob hahaha
HAHAHAHAHA! All these comments about Arrested Development are just a testament for how epic of a show it was. Ta-da!
Do you like Jackson Browne lyrics? I LOVE the best song writers!
Is that my belt?
