My true, honest reaction right now is just a series of incomprehensible keyboard smashes. HOLY SHIT.

(!!!!!!!!)

i just need to quote this.
I love these guys!

I was already having a pretty good start of the day, but this made my day in it's own.
Isn't it beautiful how a new Gaslight tune makes your whole day so damn good?!

The line after Asbury park is about going down to lay on the beach.... That was what I heard the first time around

Just simply fucking awesome.

Kudos on the video find too. Much love!

Anybody else think this is about Brian missing New Jersey and finding out New York's not all it's cracked up to be?

My friend Austin told me about this on my birthday. I'd have to say, that's the best present anyone could have given me. Totally made my day.

Wow. Completely phenomenal. Honestly I feel like the studio version is going to have the chance to rival 1930 and TSoJ as "Best Gaslight Song Ever". The only bad part is it'll probably be another 18 months till we get the new album...

It' s something in between the "Sink or Swim" stuff and the "American Slang" album. Very cool.

Yeah I'm digging that interpretation.

He's probably using Biloxi as a direct comparison to Asbury Park (as both towns are relatively small but have a good amount of media recognition and place in pop culture because of the personalities that have come out of the cities). Him saying he's been to Biloxi "and it's good enough for me" kind of reinforces that point I guess. Then the direct references Asbury Park and his mother also help too. Whatever it means, it seems like a really really personal song.

thank you for recording this.

I'm with you guys on this one.

I am beyond happy to have this song, I can't even put it into better words. So great.

Just had my little girls dancing along to this when I played it the first time. There is a definite groove to this song. Love t.

gaslight gaslight! a new song! i need to get my ass on here everyday again! awesome song, but of course.

This song really is amazing. No doubt about it this band is going places

Much much better quality, someone posted on another site...
Brian says this is the "odd ball" song, like Film Noir

Love you girl!

(I'm the Austin btw

OH MY GOD! I already love Biloxi Parish!
Hearing this turned my pretty awful day to a really good one
I think I will be listening to it for the rest of the day.

I'm so desperate for the album and I'm not sure I can wait another year or even more for it to be released!

Thanks Bea for finding the video and to TheBaseman and Ral for taking the time to transcribe the lyrics. Sounds pretty right to me. And I also hear "formed a band"

the sooner they make the album the sooner we can see them again! ugh. well hopefully they (thc) come to la too.

hey what's up with that new fox/man (or is it a wolf?) on Benny's drums? who is that?

I love it, especially the big drum beats! This has made my year so far

looks like it might be from the fantastic mr fox.

I've been listening to this song more or less on repeat for the past hour and it just simply kicks ass. Can't wait for a studio version/the next gaslight album.
