HATFIELD - WIDESPREAD PANIC
http://www.everydaycompanion.com/lyrics/songs/hatfield.asp
*The middle part of this video is kind of like being at a Panic show--at least to my mind. I was attempting to shorten the original to fit Youtube's 10-minute time limit and this is the result.
Wide awake in San Diego
Smallest root shrinking dry
The fish are swimming closer inside Lake Morena
Still get no rain from the sky
Men were firing cannons
Hoping smoke might tear an angel's eyes
Heard the stories of shooting arrows
Tearin' open the clouds
But indians shoot the best, and
The indians they don't like us, much
Hatfield ... You made rain for L.A.
We've got ten grand
For you to go cook us some rain
Science from the cooking pot mixing up with the air
Feeling thunder
Nights since they have started
Now the clouds won't stay apart
A little California voodoo
Care of Hatfield and his brother
Now the horses won't race where the down's turned to mud
Streams and rivers are growing
And my boots are filling up
Water's from back this way
Look at them smiling, cooking and smiling
Hatfield ... Made rain for L.A.
Well, "Hot damn",
People swear with one walk in this rain
Families on porches
The children are smiling
The owners are mad, owners are crying
Still the eyes of the children, wide open
Wide, wide
Well, the blue light is rolling in between the clouds
Feeling of wonder
Some water drying up, some sinking down
"Charles always kept in touch", swears his mother
"Always had the touch"
Made rain for L.A.
Made rain for L.A.
Hatfield
DISCLAIMER: I apologize for any sub-par video quality. HOB Security was standing inches from me (left ledge) and told me repeatedly he'd take my camera and /or throw me out if I didn't stop, so I was trying to be discreet. The shakiness is (mostly) b/c I was hiding the camera behind people and when they moved, so did I. When Security looked at me, I'd hold the camera down and let the audio keep running. On any videos where I may talk/sing--Sorry! For me, having fun takes priority over filming. It's not like I'm getting paid. OK, Thanks for watching : )
I can't imagine this hatfield being better than the 01 paulo soleri lightning show..............hey noodler, I haven't seen wsp since the 07 san diego show......are you saying that they are now playing shows that are just as good or better than the mikey era?
10 minutes since LA last exerienced lightning (I think I'm going to keep a countdown like different dark star banners)

this version's pretty sweet : ) I like it better than the one you mention, but I'm a big Billie Holiday fan so those references make me a little biased. But I''ve learned more about video editing since i posted this so may repost at some point. It's longer than 10 min so still don't know about that. In any case, thanks for listening/ commenting!
