this song is a perfect bridge from neon ballroom to diorama. so sad that i wasnt included. and its really sad that daniel hates this. i dont understand how he could not like anything he wrote himself, even if the record companys pressed him for a song ,it seems like he should be proud of ANYTHING that came out of his own head
@SuperTeamramrod Well like all true artists, Dan is a perfectionist with high standards. Sadly, I have to AGREE with him that it is not his best work by a long shot (and I'm a HUGE fan of his songwriting and the band!).
Ramble fails on all fronts, being neither a powerful rocker, an emotionally captivating ballad OR subtly humorous, fun pop like SC's later work. That's because it was written under record company pressure for a "hook laden" single. Ironically, it was only ever a b-side.
Daniel just had no emotional attachment to this song and was strictly written for American Radio....it's amazing how even a song he puts barely any thought into is one of the best.
It's an amazing song, but if you watch the creation of Diorama dvd, the producer tells Daniel that the public needs a song that they can "connect" to... even though ALL of Diorama is beautiful... the public (especially America), need a solid song to understand.
I think he can be over critical of some of his music, lately it's like if it's not really complex he doesn't like it. but sometimes I think simple is good.

so this was recorded for American Radio? that's funny because I hardly heard it, nor knew of it until like a year or so ago. Love it though.
