I've never been to Europe either, I'm just guessing, based on what I know about America.

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

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

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.

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

You're welcome! I love stuff like this.

Yes, kingdom come is a reference from the Lord's Prayer: "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done..." It's talking about going to Heaven when you die, so I think Brian is using it as a reference for either just working until you die, or on a more philosophical, religious level, knowing that something better waits for him after he dies. Something better than the dying town he's from and working his fingers down to dust.

Thanks, Beth. Hug 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.

Thank you I'll keep you guys in my thoughts too.

Driving around with boys makes everything better

Aw, thanks!

And I agree!

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

Haha, the post counts are ridiculous for some of us, I know! *cough*me*cough* That's what spam will do though. It sucks you in and once you start talking and make friends, you rack up the posts really fast.

Well it's good that you post more! I like these people, even if they are just creepy Brian Fallon fans deep down

WHY DON'T PEOPLE LIKE RED AT NIGHT?
Seriously, people prefer HLAYK and Blue Jeans over Red at Night, I don't understand

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.

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.

I identify with so many of these songs, I don't know, it still amazes me. Red At Night is one of "my songs". The whole Irish name and an injury, the blessings and the curses, the blues, it's all so me. That song really struck a chord with me and I love it. In HLAYK, I can relate to the Brian character, but also Jane and Gail. I was on both sides of that story in high school. Mae is just everything. I love it so much, it's like it's part of my soul or something. I know that sounds really corny, but that's how much I love it.

Well, that's what I do. Red At Night has never been any bad song, but I just think the guitars of Here's Looking At You, Kid or Blue Jeans And White T-Shirts are more catchy

Yep, we're all just creepy fans. That sums up this whole board in a nutshell.

Listenin' to The 59' Sound now. Still there best album in my opinion.

You know what I don't get ? Is why people don't like 'Even Cowgirls get the blues'.

Not corny at all! That's what good music is like

I like the others too, just not nearly as much as Red or Mae. And I pretty much prefer all the faster songs over HLAYK and Blue Jeans too.

That's easy to do! I'm trying to stay away from the threads that cause arguing. If I'm not careful, I end up with a lot of posts because I'll fight with people, and that's not important. I try to keep my posts fun and not all aggressive and angry.

I can't really decide for one album... Handwritten and 59' Sound are those I see on the same level even if they offer really different styles/sounds

I know! I love that song! It's one of my favorites from '59 Sound. The guitar in the beginning is so awesome, and I love the lyrics. Especially "I still love Tom Petty songs and driving old men crazy." Yep!

Different strokes for different folks I guess.
My strokes >, though.

Honestly, I seriously LOVE every single Gaslight song. I think my least favorite is Red in the Morning, but I love that one so much too, it's hard to rank it last.

I love how he sings that part. I'm a dude, and only feel mildly uncomfortable saying that.
