This song is horrid.  And this guy sucks.

[jamesoblivion]

Care to elaborate? Or are you just talking bollocks?

Do you even understand what the song is ABOUT?

[ContraversalCealery]

this makes me realize how pathetic the music seen has gotten. BRING BACK THE GOOD WIERD! BRING BACK THE MUSIC

[RatatRatR]

love this song

[mattmarman]

Just lost someone to the tragedy of suicide... I heard this song a decade ago, and hadn't thought to listen to it for a while. This song helped me when I was down, I guess my message is just do anything you can to let people know that you care, and that you're there .

does any one know where you can find Stuart Davis guitar tabs or just the chords he uses? (STUART IS THE MAN! )

[Steeelman29]

You are the man Stuart! Has to be one of the greatest song writers no one ever heard of

[0BEERHUNTER0]

wtf

Davis is one of my favorite artists and I love this song. I'd love to see someone like him with some actual talent out there on the national scene rather than what we currently have. Not that there aren't SOME good artists, but we could use more like Davis.

Jonah, some thoughts about your sister- her eyes are always closed

ever since that day she's held a certain pose

it's not a coma, she's the opposite of numb

some people soak pain up, and your sister is a sponge

and your mother is a worker

Jonah, I still see Ben but if I bring your name up the conversation ends

cause he loaned you the shotgun you took up to the cabin

whatever people say, he only hears the words 'Benjamin's a murderer'

your sister is a sponge, your mother is a worker

[Mawkish1983]

The dogs are still expecting

your father is a general

Benjamin's a murderer

Your sister is a sponge

your mother is worker

Jonah, I ran into your mom, she isn't aging very well

sometimes I think her face is gonna burst

cause hiding pain is work, and your mother is a worker

[Mawkish1983]

Whoa, this really IS a powerful song. And anyone who doesn't 'get it' should just consider who Jonah is and what Jonah did!

This is one of my favorites off of Kid Mystic. Every song on the album had a very bold, honest perspective on different aspects of the protagonist's life.
