@Lindsc237 Sorry, but The Doobie Brothers are FAR from bluegrass. They are a classic rock type band. Go listen to their song called "China Grove". That will let you know all you need to know about they're type music.
The first concert I ever went to was the Doobie Brothers! I never saw Sonny and Cher though :) Anywho.....this is a GREAT song! Makes me feel good all over! Good Stuff!!
Oh my god such a great fucking song. i love how they manage to put so much happy emotion but great lyrics at the same time and they're so consistent they manage to make a great song with just the right balance EVERY time! I swear if you listen to this song while you're in a bad mood you'll be 10x happier than before you did. True music therapy <3 Train = musical genuises
Just heard this on the radio today. As a bonus, they opened for John Mayer at a concert last summer and they sang it. Awesome. The "funky dixieland" line was sang through a megaphone.
I was listening to the Doobie Brothers "Black Water" and there was a comment about this song... Looked this up and really enjoying it. Love how they melded Black Water into this, it works so perfectly. Can't help but smile when I listen to it.
I'm not really a big fan of these guys but I actually like this song a lot, I thought them adding the Doobie Brothers's classic "Black Water" to this song was a nice addition, this song is way better than "Drops of Jupiter" and "Hey Soul Sister" (two songs I absolutely cannot stand)
@Doobie1975 Same here. I usually don't like to hear Train all that much because I've always been a fan of Alternative Rock (Matchbox Twenty, The Police) and Train had too many pop songs to consider it Alternative in my mind. I've heard Black Water before and I love the song too, but I found it really interesting how they worked it into this song. Kudos to Train for not only bringing back, but reliving an old classic. :)
I don't really get it… they mention the "black water" and "Mississippi moon" like the doobie brothers song, yet IRS not actually called "black water". Did train rewrite part of the song or something?
@twistedfoostinks1234 I'm sorry, I'm confused about your question. What's IRS? As far as I understand, they took a couple parts from "Black Water" and used it in their song, probably paying due rights.
Thanks again for the responses!! I been playing it almost over dozen or more times a week.......Hey, maybe we can reach million views!! Awesome song!!
i love this band...ive been listening to drops of jupiter since i was like 7 and then hey, soul sister came out and i discovered the rest of the album and now i cant get enough!
PLEASE DONT READ THIS. YOU WILL GET KISSED ON THE NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE. TOMORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE. HOWEVER IF YOU DONT POST THIS COMMENT something bad will happen. NOW UV STARTED READIN DIS DUNT STOP THIS IS SO SCARY. SEND THIS TO 5 VIDEOS IN 143 MINUTES WHEN UR DONE PRESS F6 AND UR CRUSHES NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN IN BIG LETTERS. THIS IS SO SCARY CAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKS THIS ACTUALLY WORKS
omg, i've known this song like all my life, and wen i was little this was my favorite song... i discovered train a couple weeks ago, love their music and now i kno this is by them! im so excited!!!
@afroduckyz this song is on Train's album "Save Me, San Francisco.. it came out in 2009, so you're probably thinking of another song that you knew from your childhood.. unless your childhood was less than a year ago
@afroduckyz ha. u migh be thinking of the song they used for this, the "...pretty mama wont u take me by the hand" thing is from an older song, but train just used it as part of this.
I like train, but I find it depressing that MOST of their songs have lyrics that make very little sense or use awkward wording and the song that I think have BEAUTIFUL lyrics....is 50% of a Cover of another song.
@tj19941994 That is the song he is sampling and referencing! Not sure what you are jibberishing about dixieland? It is a direct reference to a doobie brothers song that is sampled throughout this tune,'Blackwater'! It's not that complicated... Google much?!?!?
mrSpunkransomgal: you need to convince your mom into seeing them. i went once and keep going back for more concerts. Get there early to get front row, center. guarantee your mom will be going to more of there concerts! :)
@sarskees95 you're telling me you never heard of them before this... I'm pretty sure Drops of Jupiter has been on the radios non-stop since it came out in 2001
@sarskees95 Best decision of your LIFE. lol (: I've been listening to train since i was realllly little. Appearently my mother had a good taste in music ;) lol
