Washed up on shore
Washed up on shore

I'd like to live beneath the dirt
A tiny space to move and breathe
Is all that I would ever need

I wanna live beneath the dirt
Where I'd be free from push and shove
Like all those swarming up above

Beneath their heels I'll spend my time
(Shout your name into the wind)
I'll wriggle in the earth and dew
(Shout your name into the wind)
And sometimes I will think of you
(Shout your name into the wind)

And if you ever think of me
Kneel down and kiss the earth
And show me what this thought is worth
I'll never hear your voice again

Shout your name into the wind
Shout your name into the wind
Shout your name into the wind
Shout your name into the wind

Shout your name into the wind
Shout your name into the wind
Shout your name into the wind
Shout your name into the wind

One of the most delicate songs I know.

A tiny space to move and breath.

I have only ever appreciated two Phish songs: A Picture of Nectar” and this one. Stands out a bit like Terrapin Station does for the Grateful Dead. 



I remember seeing 3 GD shows in Vegas in '92, I believe it was at The Silver Bowl. And Fish was playing at one of the major casinos. I have seen GD numerous times as well as The Dead and Dead and Co.  I never got to see Fish but can appreciate what they have accomplished. Had to comment because my favorite Grateful Dead tunes are Lady with a Fan > Terrapin Station and if A Picture of Nectar holds a candle to that, I need to have a listen.

For a first date I asked my now wife if she liked "Phish" as Phish happened to be coming to town and some friends and I were going. Thinking I was asking her out for a date that would involve fish, she readily accepted and ended up at a Phish concert!

I got kind of tired of these guys long ago when these guy's were jam banding at Nectar's  multiple times a week, and I was pretending to be a student. But after Dan Archer helped them put out Pictures of Nectar they really stepped up their game!

I figured that if she was cool enough to hang with me during a Phish concert, she'd be OK to date. She still isn't a Phish fan, but the reasoning seems to have held so for the last 20+ years!



Great story....

Nothing wrong with a Phish ballad on RP

From Glenn Miller about  an hour ago to Phish.

Cool indeed

If I had one bit of advice for this band it would be for Trey the lead singer to blow his nose before he does a vocal track.

Always welcome a little Phish to RP. This song fits in quite nicely with the RP vibe. Thanks RP!

PS: 
I'm guessing Hoosfoos doesn't much like Phish.....{#Smile}

I was thinking the same thing! Not a bad tune to my ears, it's a 7 from me for now.

I was also thinking to myself that I don't hear a lot of Phish (and the Doobie Bros) among a few others; well I got some Doobies earlier and now some Phish...what else can I ask for and get?

Long Live RP!

Don't worry, Trey, you'll get your opportunity to "live beneath the dirt".
Not saying that I wish it upon you, even though I don't particularly care for your music.

Hearing these guys live is like hearing the same song over and over again, only with a new title.

it can provoke such outbursts?

Maybe I'm too passive - if I don't like the thread of tunes that's playing, I have
about 10 other stations I can listen to.

It has been my observation that the anonymity of the Internet has always provided people with a place to express anything and everything.  It goes with the territory.  Then again, honesty does sound vitriolic at times.  Also, and I mean this in a friendly way, but reading people's aggressive comments about music indicates that it is not pent-up at all.  :)  As to music that is so bad it can provoke such outbursts - The Shags.
