@Thor27436 so true man. I heard that album four years ago and it still moves me to this day. No matter how low I felt that album could pick me right back up. It is a true showcase of the human soul and for that it will always be one of my favorite albums.

I have been listening to this song on a loop for about an hour in a half...SO good.

@120Vanquish120 I love the fact that their songs can be interpreted in so many different ways. To me, this song speaks to my very soul. The singer discovered misfortune in his early life, regret in his later life, and finally found the strength to see the red sky night, or "sailor's delight." The verse touches upon the "just vague enough to apply to many things" hardships he endures until the final verse where he reveals he has the strength to see the good in life. Love this song.

@Thor27436 To each their own, I personally like the 59 sound more. Sink or Swim is a great album though.

No, Davetoole is correct about Sink or Swim being their best. I wouldn't say The '59 Sound is anything short of great, but Sink or Swim is transcendent.

This song has such a great use of the harmonica, it just adds the the atmosphere perfectly.



I Love the symbolism of the lyrics. Meeting a girl is the blessing, and a break up is the curse, the red sky at night is a sign of good things to come. That's my interpretation of this song anyway. It's helped me through some depressing times in my life. Life is full of hardships, you need to keep looking to the future.

This sounds so much like Way Over Yonder in the Minor Key by Wilco and Billy Bragg... But that's what I love so much about the Gaslight Anthem, it's so clear who their influences are but they still sound so good!
