I agree. Brilliant. Thoughtful. The combination of the lyrics, the acoustic guitar, the bass line, Slim Dunlap's solo and Westerberg's vocal delivery...well. I don't have enough good words in my vocabulary to describe it.
This is the one Replacements album I didn't listen to obsessively like SMFTTOTT, Hootenanny, LIB, Tim, PTMM. I hear this stuff and YouTube am I am floored by how good it is and it holds up. "Love nobody and I won't tell nobody, ya still in love with nobody, I used to be nobody, but not anymore." Brilliant. Time passes... been there, done that.
As I'm watching this I see this video has 924 views.That's pathetic. This is a great band with songwriting ability far beyond any of the crap we have today.
It's in A maj. So the verse is A-D-E, with a G as the change, then G-F# before the chorus. Chorus is B-D and the bridge is G-F (the rising bit is then A#-C-D. It's a little tricky to explain, just play around with those until you get it.
Got that great hillbilly flavor .. well I didn't know I liked that sound but on this song it's compelling. Hip shake to the band for ole time sake .. to the end is just perfect ending. And I used to be nobody .. does it go "ain't nobody ..anymore" at the end?
@MichaelJOlender Yeah a great choice. I am always shock when someone's favorite song is close to being mine. My all time favs are The Replacements Unsatisfied, Neil Young's Powderfinger, and oh yeah the Replacements "johnnys gonn die" is great too.
Pure genius

Never a more brilliant declaration of 'what might have been' whilst watching someone you love make a huge mistake x

Great song. First time I heard it I thought "finally a hit" for the Replacements as they break-up but oh well ..

"And you're still in love with nobody... and I used to be nobody".
More emotion in that one line than some bands manage in a whole album, just awesome.

"Memory isn't so good any more." Oh, yeah. I feel you there. :)

Yep. Good catch, I was lazy and didn't look it up to make sure. Memory isn't so good any more. 1990.

Wrong year. 1993 was when Westerberg's first solo album came out. This one came out in the fall of '90.

lol, Yeah it should probably read 'ain't' nobody at the end. But he makes it work anyways.
