@syeve6712 It is about Pat Brown who was in Doug's previous band Treepeople. He committed suicide in 1999. Pat's brother Scott Schmaljohn who was also in the Treepeople also plays on this track.
As painful as it sounds....these are the words that one typically utters after a very precious friend's suicide. I have said them myself. This man is raw and real.
How can the lyrics of this song be so beautiful and sweet, yet have such hard badass instrumentals, and still go in perfect harmony? Only Built To Spill.
