@marks661man To each their own. I personally love the 90's era, as well as the 80's, 70's, 60's, and even 2000's. Your claim of truth is simply your opinion. Yes, MTV is definitely a corporate non-musical shadow of its former self. I mean what does MTV stand for again?.....
@lizardriper3 So that's what the song's about. I knew it was about a married couple who never came home but I never knew their fate. Thanks for putting that up.
It's awesome that this song was a mainstream hit. It's really good and deserved widespread airplay, but it has a quirkiness of sorts that music execs don't usually go for. Good on whatever suit championed this -- and, of course, the band for writing it!
@TheHDH83 I still have this MAD Magazine from the late 90's with THE funniest picture on the back of it of those annoying little sister brothers in gothic makeup and it says Marilyn Hanson! How bloody funny is that?!!!! You might even be able to google image it. If you can...you will wet your pants!
@hornick18 "my bootskootin baby is driving me crazy, something something get in line 5 6 7 8 " remember steps? that was example of how bad they could be as well. but for the most part...God i miss those days. OH and cotton eye joe!
I was still in primary school when i first heard the song. And trust me i've been searching high and low for the title. And yesterday I overheard this song at pelangi indah mcd's. And I straight away copy down the lyric and began searching :)
@spacefreak09 One headlight is great. Did you know Bob Dylan wrote that masterpiece ( pun intended) The wallflowers' lead singer is Jacob Dylan Bob's son. Which is why they are so bloody good.
@MrMickthemonster I love One Headlight! Jacob is the miracle son. I have all Wallflowers albums. Not to mention, my profile has all kinds of 90s music favorited. You should check it out.
@spacefreak09 Ok I shall do that friend! Yes the 90's. I was but a little pup through those days but they were my favourite. I just can't help but wish I was a little sprog all over again!
runs off thhe building w/ guitar in hand... falls without the guitar... and lands with the guitar on top of the car.... that my friends is the magic and power of 90's rock!
Was completely detatched from 90s music. Thought it was 99%, corporate-driven rubbish, packaged up by MTV self-glorifying itself in it's last genuine days before it became a non-musical, reality show nightmare. However, this song stands out as a distinct part of that 1% that was very good indeed.
@SouthOCmixdown I've been wondering how one could define the 90's and the 00's as decades with music ... This is one of those songs for me. I'm not quite sure if there's a common theme with the music of the 90's. Maybe that it's somehow edgier, darker than 80's. Hmm. Dunno.
@Loomr 90's 'edge' and 'darkness', just like the punk revolt of the 1970s, was largely a music journalism creation. the 'i dont care and cant play my guitar worth shit and wear grubby clothes'-atttitude was played out. and any 'angst' or emotion you find in 90s music, is artificially manufactured, to be sure. getting teens to act out and moan about how shitty their life is, is like shooting fish in a barrel and one of the oldest industry tricks in the book. Thats why 70s/80s music laps the 90s.
@marks661man What about something like Prodigy though? I doubt they did their music only listening to record company executives and music journalists, it was a pretty new genre all together.
Maybe the industry has some input there but don't you think many of those iconic bands just did their own thing ... and copied what everyone else was doing at the time.
@Loomr there will always be a handful of bands that defy convention, regardless of era. the industrial work of skinny puppy, ministry, etc, in paving the way for guys like reznor, comes to mind. one of many. but unfortunately, the closed loop mentality and marketing of the early internet, basically laid the groundwork for the napster/mp3, mega-market, minimal-talent formula that rules the industry today. i knew that, the minute i heard the 1st 3 notes of 'teen spirit' on mtv. the fix was in.
In 3 years, my wife, who is a nurse, and I will be 55 yrars old. We will have a fifth-wheel camper, a new dodge dually, and we are gonna travel the country, and my wife will be a traveling nurse. We own a duplex, which will be rented out, and wating for us when we are ready to come back in 7-10 years!!!!
@amsterdamgreens " walking the dog justa walkin the dog,an if ya don't know howda do it I'll show you how to walk the dog ( whistles through teeth ) c'mere boy....sorry what was that? =D
Ah Yes born in 89 remembering the 90's waking up in the morning half hour before school eating cereal, watching mtv's morning hits... good stuff, this wallflowers, soundgarden, and manny many more
I sometimes catch myself singing the following lyrics:
"Anyone could see the road that they walked on was paved in gold,
It's always summer they'll never get cold, they'll never get hungry, they'll never get old and gray, you could see their shadows wandering off somewhere, won't make it home but they really don't care, they wanted the highway, they're happy to live today...today!" I feel so sorry for the elderly couple in Texas that lost "The Way" and ended up over a cliff.
This was a handful of songs of my college soundtrack (1996-2000.) 15 years later I still love this song & these are one of the tew bands of that time I really liked. I always thought this song would sound good in the film Pulp Ficiton for the end of the Gold Watch segment as Willis drives off with his girlfriend:
"Whose chopper is this?"
"Zed's."
"Who's Zed?"
"Zed's dead, baby."
And then they just ride off someplace. If not Pulp Fiction, them some story of lovers on the run.
@CTyankee4277 The shit butch's dad musta gone through ( or not as the case may have been ) then good ol mr walken taking one for the team when butch's dad kicked it. Best seen in the movie NEXT to the zed's dead baby bit.
Believe it or not, I just bought a station wagon from my dad when he wanted to scrap it mainly because of this song! We used to go cruising in the car blasting this song, so when the engine went, i told him give me the car, because I couldnt bear to let it go without having driven it well listening to this song at least one more time! Amazing how songs help keep things around, and oh yeah, I like the car too. 1963 Olds F-85
@Shar1179 It randomly popped into my mind a couple years ago after not hearing it for about 10 years. I just remembered the tune but I got so frustrated trying to remember the lyrics and the name of the song.
this song is pretty sad since based on the true story of Lela and Raymond Howard, an elderly couple from Salado, Texas who drove to a nearby festival and kept going. She had Alzheimer's disease and he was recovering from brain surgery. When they disappeared, a reporter from the Austin American-Statesman wrote a series of articles about the missing couple.
Fastball bassist Tony Scalzo came up with the idea for the song after reading the articles (the band is from Austin). He says, "It's a romanticized take on what happened" - he "pictured them taking off to have fun, like they did when they first met." However, he found out after writing the song that the couple had died. They were found at the bottom of a canyon in Buffalo Gap,Texas about a 3 hour drive from their destination.
Did anyone notice that? At the end of the video the guy running through the roof holds a guitar in his right hand but as he falls off the roof his both hands are free.
I actually perform this song but have never watched the video. A really good video and I usually don't like music videos. Someone said this song is the same as Hey there delilah? Hmmmm.... Don't see it at all.
I checked out the guitar tabs for both Delilah and The Way amd the only real similarity the two songs share is the fact that they are both in a minor key, after that the similarities dissolve except for a couple of apparently similar melodic lines, which really are different when you look at them closely. The choruses are about as different as they can be - totally different chords, structure and melody, so i believe any perceived similarities are coincidental and superficial
IIRC, copyright infrigments do only take place when the melody is exactly the same for the entire quarter bar (4/4) in pop music (correct me if I am wrong though). So, it's never a chord problem (otherwise every band would be suing everyone else's music).
@RichNewnes Get a life man its a great song, enjoy the tune , been listening to songs for 40 yrs and its got lots of familiar riffs but geez it really cooks along , no offence but shit , only so many chords you can play in a rock tune .
Plagiarism what an idiot FastBall wrote this song when they heard the news that an elderly couple had a family reunion to go to, the couple made up their minds that they were going to drive instead of flying to there. Well unfortunately their car broke down and they had memory problems. Look it up.
Miles from Fastball is playing in the Chicago area on Thursday April 7th for a charity event open to the public. Fastball songs and new songs off Miles' upcoming solo album will be played Also on the bill, the original surviving members of the band Material Issue. Some great 90's power pop and more await you. Fitzgerald's nightclub, doors are at 7PM. Benefitting the Carlos Hernandez Journalism Scholarship at DePaul university. If you're in the area, not to missed, people.
@wubbystation-Good point, but I did some research and found out that Fastball was sued in court several years back by the writers of "Delilah". It was ruled that that Fastball had indeed plagarized the song.
Before I knew the story behind this song, I had only heard the lyrics; not even the video. I knew it by heart.
In my head, the version I got was a bunch of folks looking for nirvana where it was summer and no one grew old. It was a very positive song for me. Sort of like the movie Cocoon.
I musician friend of mine explained the sad story behind the words, but you know....I like my version better. Im sticking with it.
@cipher22 said: "who wants to stick around when they're over 65 years old anyway?"
Well, cypher, I do! I'm 66 and still playing bass and singing in a rock band AND getting gigs. I'll likely die with my bass in my hands ..... when I'm 86! No wait - that might be too young.
@Nuggniffer .....Rock On, m'man!! cipher22 has apparently never heard of Chuck Berry, the Stones, Ozzy, Aerosmith, AC/DC, etc. Also, the gospel group "Blind Boys of Alabama" have been performing since 1939, and still retains 2 founding members!
Someone creative enough to write those lyrics has no reason to plagiarize. I don't hear many similarities between this song and Tom Jones song anyhow. You can only do so many chord progressions before you find yourself playing a song that already exists.
@ROBERDESAN I did some research and found that Fastball was sued several years ago by the writers of the Tom Jones song "Delilah" and lost. An American court found them guilty of plagiarism
@The90smusicfan I'm like you - I listen to a lot of bands from the 90's (Nirvana, Pearl jam, Fastball, Oasis, Foo Fighters, etc.) You gotta love the rocking 90's
@gmd1417 Nah. File under: "homage" . See also Besame Mucho. You want rip off, indulge the band Jet for giddy fun and ill advised retreading. Fastball is a great band. They existed largely in a time when the machinery of the music industry was experiencing a drastic revolution that no one saw coming and this band, like a lot of other's of the time, got hit with the shrapnel of downloading and label downsizing. Bad for them as artists, but for the public it's never too late to discover 'em!
Anyone seen Tony as of late? The years really haven't been kind to him. It was about a decade ago that he still looked like a teenager

Is someone joking? Deliah & The Way are so apparently different someone has to be smoking crack to make that comparison.

I actually perform this song but have never watched the video. A really good video and I usually don't like music videos. Someone said this song is the same as Hey there delilah? Hmmmm.... Don't see it at all.

I checked out the guitar tabs for both Delilah and The Way amd the only real similarity the two songs share is the fact that they are both in a minor key, after that the similarities dissolve except for a couple of apparently similar melodic lines, which really are different when you look at them closely. The choruses are about as different as they can be - totally different chords, structure and melody, so i believe any perceived similarities are coincidental and superficial

This comment has received too many negative votes show
@RichNewnes
IIRC, copyright infrigments do only take place when the melody is exactly the same for the entire quarter bar (4/4) in pop music (correct me if I am wrong though). So, it's never a chord problem (otherwise every band would be suing everyone else's music).

Plagiarism what an idiot FastBall wrote this song when they heard the news that an elderly couple had a family reunion to go to, the couple made up their minds that they were going to drive instead of flying to there. Well unfortunately their car broke down and they had memory problems. Look it up.

@wubbystation-Good point, but I did some research and found out that Fastball was sued in court several years back by the writers of "Delilah". It was ruled that that Fastball had indeed plagarized the song.

Before I knew the story behind this song, I had only heard the lyrics; not even the video. I knew it by heart.
In my head, the version I got was a bunch of folks looking for nirvana where it was summer and no one grew old. It was a very positive song for me. Sort of like the movie Cocoon.
I musician friend of mine explained the sad story behind the words, but you know....I like my version better. Im sticking with it.

Anyone could see The road that they walk on is paved in gold
And It's always summer, they'll never get cold
They'll Never get hungry
They'll never get old and gray
You can see their shadows Wandering off somewhere
They won't make it home
But they really don't care
They wanted the highway
They're happier there today , today.....sad but lovely

@cipher22 said: "who wants to stick around when they're over 65 years old anyway?"
Well, cypher, I do! I'm 66 and still playing bass and singing in a rock band AND getting gigs. I'll likely die with my bass in my hands ..... when I'm 86! No wait - that might be too young.

Someone creative enough to write those lyrics has no reason to plagiarize. I don't hear many similarities between this song and Tom Jones song anyhow. You can only do so many chord progressions before you find yourself playing a song that already exists.

well, i am not sure if it is really plagiarism, but this song does sound kinda alike yes... but not to the point of having to suing anyone...

@gmd1417 Nah. File under: "homage" . See also Besame Mucho. You want rip off, indulge the band Jet for giddy fun and ill advised retreading. Fastball is a great band. They existed largely in a time when the machinery of the music industry was experiencing a drastic revolution that no one saw coming and this band, like a lot of other's of the time, got hit with the shrapnel of downloading and label downsizing. Bad for them as artists, but for the public it's never too late to discover 'em!
