Mae makes me cry too. I LOVE THAT SONG.

Mae is a fantastic song. I'm still thinking about the meaning of the lines though

Aw, I'm sure you'd be fine because you obviously love them and want the best for them. It's just such a tough position to be in, especially when you're powerless to change things. I hate that! I have always wanted kids more than anything, so it was never a question that I would take the kids if anything happened to their parents. I've been there for them since birth, I've gone through everything with those kids, and I'd die for them. I miss them.

I hope you get to see them soon, but maybe not with their mom! I really just can't wait for my niece and nephew to get older so they can understand that most of what my sister says isn't true. I'm looking forward to them being adults just so they won't live with her anymore and I can go visit them and she won't be there! They're 7 and 2 so it's going to be a long time.

I feel the same way. If I could see the kids without seeing my cousin, life would be perfect. It's tough because we grew up together in CA so there are a lot of memories there, then we both ended up in VA. We understand each other and have such a tight history, it's hard to just write her off even though I can't stand who she has become. But the kids are everything. I'm hoping when they get older they will leave home and come live with me. It'll be a long while, so maybe something will happen sooner than that and the state will award me custody. It's always in the back of my mind.

It's the whole "I wanna see you tonight. Will you come for a drive..." That whole part just kills every time. Brian is the most wonderful murderer on the planet, haha!

No! I was listening to records and I fell asleep, actually.

Aw, you're such an innocent girl, Sarah!

I was listening to my Handwritten vinyl today and Mae made me cry. That song...

#DSSAngel

Seriously, that song still just kills me.

She abandoned us!

She leaves without saying goodbye, leaving us confused and sad.

Which lines are you thinking about? I think this is one of Brian's best songs. So poetic!

Those: "We work our fingers down to dust
And we wait for kingdom come
With the radio on"

and

"And still this city pumps it's aching heart
For one more drop of blood"

Maybe my english is not good enough or something like that, but I feel like can translate all of the lyrics..but sometimes I just don't get the sense

I hope that happens for you and them! I know it's a tricky situation. I feel like the state doesn't do enough in these cases

Okay, the fingers down to dust part, how I interpret it, is Brian is talking about how we work so hard all our lives until we die (wait for Kingdom Come), and we keep the radio on because music helps us through life. It's always there.

For the next part I'm not totally sure, but I think maybe he's talking about how some cities are just dying. They aren't thriving like they once were (and neither are we for living there), but they are still struggling to survive. I hope that makes sense.

Thanks, Beth. I agree, the state just doesn't protect kids like it should. I hope things improve with your sister and her kids too. It's just heartbreaking. I'll keep them in my prayers.

I'd agree with that. Like, the city is beating us down, and we're just doing our best to get by.

Wow, thanks. That would make sense..you mean that the Kingdom has the meaning of a life after death?

Driving around with boys makes everything better

That's what I get from it. I love how Brian took that kind of heartland Bruce/John Mellencamp vibe and just turned it into something sooooo personal, beautiful, poetic, and breathtaking. I can see why he said it was one of his favorite songs that he's written.

*A wild Shawn appears*

When I first looked at the amount of posts some peole had I was just thinking: "How can someone have such a lot of posts"... after I looked into sam and have been writing here for a few I understand everything

It's strange that I've been a member of this forum for three years (eventhough I did't post all the time) and found out about spam just a few weeks ago

It's definitely my favorite slower TGA song. Though I love Red at Night, I never had the same connection to HLAYK or Blue Jeans that other people have. But I totally identify with this Mae.

After gettin these explanations I like this song even more than I did before..

First person I've ever heard say this.

Oh my goodness Thomas, and now I have almost as many posts as you've had! And I just noticed my status is Wooderson now
