[dondondacula]

[way2tehdawn]

@1288dallas I don't understand after looking at your comment what is this song about?

[thecheesburgler]

[zytxuy]

I saw these guys in 1996 on their Throwing Copper tour. They did this song during their acoustic set, sitting on couches they put there to make it look like some old living room. It was awesome. Such a great year. For me, this song represents the freedom I had back then to do whatever I wanted whenever I wanted and could just do shit for myself and not feel selfish doing it. I went to so many great concerts that year and 97. Goddamn I miss those times.

[JoeNJ2]

@zytxuy And before I was married^

[Tomfoolery1972]

so many memories...

[ArmandoG2013]

Any video of them performing this? I saw live once but they didn't play it - I love this tune, "now they running wild on the beach... I dont care,"

[BigNick419andholding]

Always dug this song. One of the coolest on TC, way too good to be on the radio :)

[lolz95182]

i like how everyones comments for this song are positive, jus goes to show what it can do

[nett103]

That bass is so simple but yet it makes the whole song.

[LargelyGay]

Back when music was ____ .

[eduardoronquillo80]

I bought "throwing copper" in 2003, and the record had an extra CD with 4 bonus songs . Does anybody know the titles of those 4 songs?

unfortunately last week my car was opened and my radio and CDs were gone =..(

[bbeboutuaa]

@eduardoronquillo80 One was Susquehanna I think, Don't know the other 3.

[bbeboutuaa]

@eduardoronquillo80 Susquehanna, we deal in dreams, and hold me up I think, Don't know the other one.

[jiffur]

@eduardoronquillo80 oh i have it - it was called Four songs - Beauty of Grey was on it - i love that song!

[DogWed]

Brings back memories of being a teenager, learning to play the bass riff and having people ask 'what song is that?'

[DeirdreHarris]

thank U, thank U, thank U, 4 the post, I'v been lookin 4 this freakin song 4ever.

[kdj29]

[themaing911]

summer night smokin some bud n drinkin some beers n having a good time...this song says it all

[johnmckenna80]

Live has the most intriguing lyrics.

[GutterDoll138]

Throwing Copper's "Country Track"... ::smiles::

When I was 14, I swore this was how love would feel like.

Carefree, Whimsical and Warm... Sexy and Beautiful.

Slow; like a southern night.

[CoolVIguy]

@GutterDoll138 You have a nice turn of phrase :)

[GutterDoll138]

@CoolVIguy Why, thank you VIGuy. ::smiles:: Awesomeness. :)

[neutronbastard]

@GutterDoll138 I swear, I really thought the same thing. But god damn, was I wrong...

[GutterDoll138]

@neutronbastard :(

[loriannedc]

@GutterDoll138 This is what love is.... :)

[GutterDoll138]

@loriannedc Indeed.

[msz1]

I hate country but I love this song.

[phishrox1]

they should've made a whole album with these kinds of songs. I'd buy it

[juleswinns]

I remembered listening to this album when it came out and seeing an old friend. We didn't connect anymore but I finally connect with this song.

[lowriderbandfan]

I was searching around for songs I like and typed in this one, and lo and behold, I see others like it as well. Glad I'm not the only one. Thanks for posting!

[DDT777]

The Bride of Messiah rode a horse called truth into my head and changed everything. Now Her children are sharing truth everywhere and I don't care cause there is nothing wrong with it. DDT

[saomylife22]

i cant believe they broke up!!!! i never had the chance to see them... this is the worst day !!! they have been together for soo long.. why now ????come on live your music is soo amazing you cant quit now!!!

[mouse1nz]

@saomylife22 apparently the singer allegedly screwed the others over

[saomylife22]

do you know what happened?

[mouse1nz]

@saomylife22 only what "allegedly" happened originally they were going on a 2 year hiatus creative differences, the band apparently found secret contracts the singer signed etc, but Ed ( the singer) denies this so who knows, that was my understanding of it i could be wrong

[afrogirl123]

wow... ok damn and they were sooo good i cant beilieve that but if its true i guees there is no way of getting around it huh!...

[mouse1nz]

well technically the band and singer have both formed new bands, band excluding singer are called the gracious few (with candlebox singer) and they are quite rocky, search up a song called appetite

[gdawgnumberone]

i love this song.  just think that maybe in the 60's there was less music to choose from, so they accepted whatever rolling stones put out.

[Manchild1250]

I don't buy that at all. Songs in the 60s and 70s didn't become hits because people didn't have anything else from which to choose; songs became hits if they were worthy of being hits. These days, anything can be a hit, even if it sucks.

[nate556]

@gdawgnumberone you kiddin' ? the 60's had some awesome music, not just stones.

Deep Purple, Bob Dylan, Simon & Garfunkel, The Temptations, Four Tops, Jimmi Hendrix, Jefferson Airplane... hell, even Blue Oyster Cult started in the 60's..

Lot of good shit came outta the 60's.

[TheHMSillustrious]

@nate556 dont forget the rolling stones and led zeplin and the beatles

[nate556]

hell yeah. Didn't mean to leave anyone out, just fired off the top my head there.

[mmikovich]

this could have been a hit and a crossover hit in country, a friend of mines has a country band and they play this and get great reaction. Hardly anyone knows this was from one of the biggest alternative rock bands of the 90's lol

[Manchild1250]

I never understood why this song was never a radio hit. This song is a major hit and a classic; yet, unfortunately, neither became true. Why? This song is melodically and instrumentally beautiful, and it is clearly a rock classic. It should have been, that is. Someone the corporate world missed this one.

[monkeycrescentwrench]

it didn't become a classic because it didn't have angst or sex appeal. it always had more of a country-western sound to it, which wouldn't gel so much with a lot of fans of the bands.

sad to say, sex and/or anger are what sells (i'm amazed lady gaga has a record contract and hasn't been put to death for crimes against humanity, though.)

[Manchild1250]

I can't agree with that statement because the song is too melodic to be country and even the Rolling Stones had a hit that had a slight country-western sound. I think it didn't become a hit because people just have bad taste in music these days.

[monkeycrescentwrench]

well, there's a lot of ballads in country music. this has that feel, what with the bass rhythm and the steel guitar especially.

i know "wild horses" by the stones. i don't think it sounds all that similar to "horse," but that's splitting hairs. in the 60's and 70's, music was a lot more introspective because the audience was a lot more introspective. hate to agree with you there, but i do all the same.

[Manchild1250]

Look up the song "Wild Horses" by the Rolling Stones. It sounds very similar to "Horse" by Live, and "Wild Horses" was a huge hit for the Rolling Stones. It is because in the 60s and 70s, people understood great music. That is not true today.

[xBillyTheKidx]

they ever play this in concert?

[Jack4343]

Yes, they played this song in concert during the Throwing Copper tour. They set up a living room type set and sat on the sofa and played it. Beautiful!

[xBillyTheKidx]

that sounds incredible.

[marmoteenha]

waaaw from Brasil!

i always loved this music, cse have impressed good times!

[helloimtank]

i loved this song but its hard being in a all black neigborhood playing this the folks there looked at me like what the fuck is wrong with him

[xBillyTheKidx]

you're white is what, apparently, is wrong with you. *shrugs* fuck it, song and band rules.

[eafbak]

The bass line in this song is amazing. So smooth.

[xBillyTheKidx]

best comment.

[inersphobia]

I don't have anything to say, but I had to post a comment because I rated the video, and up to this point it has the same number of comments as rates.

[nchq]

et voila t'es tombé sur la mauvaise! c'est l'une des deux dernieres avec tbd

[spentonmediocrity]

Thanks ALLOT for posting this.

The whole album kicks but this one is particularly special for me.

[spentonmediocrity]

LOVE LOVE this song.

Reminds me of getting liquored up with my roomates in the house we rented on the beach.I was mad into this girl and this song reminds me of her.

This song has so much vibe to it,could it be called psycho country?

[cindy91365]

THROWING COPPER the whole cd is awesome

[LiviaIndica]

I had this on cd for months until I let it play long enough to hear it. I actually found out about it by accident, one of my dormmates had it on tape and there was no waiting...it just came up immediately. I felt so dumb, didn't even know about it! Awesome song!

[jonpguitar]

yeah, it was actually a hidden song on the cd

[hereslookingatjewkid]

i know what you mean my dad bought me this when it first came out and when i heard this song i kept looking for it in the lyric sheet but couldn't find it. it wasn't until i bought the cd and windows media showed that track 14 was untitle it is awesome

[jawn108]

I love it

[67firebird428]

A great, but slightly obscure song. Thanks for posting.

[CaseyStelken]

AWESOME song. I never could get enough of this one!
