Solid track!! There so many good lyrics in this song. I wish I was John Lennon! Even for a day...... Except dec 8th 1980, that day was a shitty day to be JL. :(
Arkells are singing about time, why? because the fact that John lennon was inspirational to so many people to make people feel, people are still feeling him today. As we would feel Shakespeare, or more importantly, Aristotle. Old, or new.. Both are useful.
@TediousExultance Max explained the meaning of this song in a video. He said he meant for it to be interpreted as an diffident protagonist that he's compared to John Lennon in 1967.
I saw them in saskatoon at the roxy in 2009, didn't even know who they were, their performance blew the roof off of that building, just an awesome live band.
Thing about the arkells is that they know their not making million dollar music... and the sound is so simple and catchy which makes me pick up what they are laying down... Great song to... one of my favorites from the CD "Jacksons Square"
@MajorMatchu Me too! In Kansas City. I fell in love immediately and bought their CD from them after the show. And now I can't stop listening! I hope they do another US tour sometime soon!
i think this performance is suiting... it was early in the morning and the whole crowd (half an auditorium) is sitting down. If they were going bezerk it would just be contrived.
i've seen them live twice and they blew the roof off both times. hard to do considering one time was at an outdoor venue...
max looks... tired here! Arkells are usualy alot more active on stage! still a great song and still great live but if you can get the chance to see them live dont miss out! they put on one of the greatest most energetic shows out there!

Saw them at 2010 Wakeboard Open in Peterborough. They are one of the best bands I have ever seen live! Totally worth seeing again! :)
