  • Paul Thorn pulls out an older tune for his Music Fog session at the 2010 Americana Music Festival, performing with just an electric guitar. He's never released this on an album, though, so enjoy it here on the Fog, where it is indeed a great day. musicfog.com

    In the last 3 months, my wife left me, my dog got run over by a pick-up truck and the guy who rear-ended my car last week doesn't have a driver's license, insurance or a command of the English language. I was listening to this song on the way to the gym yesterday where I punched the heavy bag for 20 minutes and, for reasons I can't explain, it really lifted my spirits. On my way home I stopped for gas and saw some teenage miscreant arguing with some little old lady about who got to the gas pump first. I told the kid to back off and he must have heard the song playing in the background again on my car's CD player because he left in a hurry. I pumped the lady's gas, went on my way, and felt great for the rest of the day. Thanks Mr. Thorn.Great music..

    10 years later it's still a good song
    Yesterday I carried a speaker on me to work and afterwards
    I didn't feel like talking and was kinda irritated so I played this song on repeat
    No one bothered me
    Not even my asshole of a boss
    He saw my face and heard this song and just walked on down the line

      it is those giggling dj's that made this get 2 million views....otherwise most of us would have never heard of this guy or his song...ask Paul how he feels about those giggling dj's and how they helped his career

    • @flakedwheelie
      @flakedwheelie Před 7 lety +24

      Did you even think before you wrote that, peoplevsradio317? Of f'n course they were a great help but what Bogframe means is that a song always sound better without distractions - such as giggles no matter how much they helped puttin' the music out there.

    I had a very tough year in 2016 and wanted to beat the world up. I found this song and felt the weight of the world off my shoulders. I have not laughed that hard in a long time. thank you so much for putting this song out for public view. I sincerely hope Sony music picks this song up and makes you a fortune. God bless you and have a great day.
