That Strat was a cheap Squire i think... and the tag he left on it... i think it sounds like shit too.. but thats David Lowery guys... he does that shit. Its a statement... I really RFLD when i saw that. Cracker is a statement and you justin bieber lovers ... lol.. i have an auto tuner here for you.
@fossilbox1991 Oh NOW I get it :-) Your original comment was a rebuttal to custyfinkscar! Yours was an excellent rebut, congrats! Too bad I didn't get it the first time. Whatever, I adore this song, it's in my top 5 of all time, I can play it over and over and never get tired of it, especially the opening: one drum slam then the slow, chiming, rolling guitars.
This is ORIGINAL music and that's all that's all that matters. These guys set themselves apart. Lowery has one of those distinctive voices that makes all his music timeless !!
@joefreakhouse1 Yep, it sure ruined his 28-year-long-and-still-going career. He's only put out 10+ albums, 3 top ten singles, and worked with some of the biggest names in the business like Counting Crows and The Hold Steady...and that's just with Cracker (doesn't count the 19 years of activity with Camper Van Beethoven).
Guess he just followed in the traditions of other pre-noughties "bad singers" like Cobain, Dylan, and Jagger by fading into obscurity and getting an office job.
@joefreakhouse1 Last I knew the Lead Singer was a stud... he is def NOT rocking the vocals here. He could have a cold I guess. I love Cracker, I just hope he isnt slipping.
@fossilbox1991 No so - can't you hear the sorrow and desperation as well as the feeling of being high? This is one of the greatest songs I've ever heard and it couldn't have been created without the heroin, as tragic as that is. Lucky for me I've never been called by the poppy but I imagine the feeling I get when listening to this song, a feeling of being lulled and sinking into warm honey, seeing the sun blue and the sky brown, has some likeness.
@fossilbox1991 Jeez, do ya have to call me dumbass just cuz I missed a word? Especially since we're on the same side. Out of curiosity, which greedy drug addicts were you referring to? Not Bush, Nirvana,Sublime, Blind Melon, Chili Peppers - I guess they weren't greedy and they definitely had emotion. I don't know that much about the drug habits of the 2000s bands - please, tell all!
Forced, strained vocals and a guitar that's out of tune, beyond what would be within the limits of cool. BUT, a really awesome song, love it. Always listed among top songs of 90's rock. Will always love it.
I really wanted to be blown away by a live version of this song..I guess I should've known, the vocals arent that strong on the studio..still like the song though.
i'm so glad this band is still together and putting out albums and touring. it's just too bad america is so lame and will never support a band like cracker. with the musical collapse of mtv bands like this don't stand much of a commercial chance
