    This is a song we wrote twice. We have a few of those actually...where we have an idea and revisit it later, sometimes years later. This first time was the same session as A Song I Heard the Ocean Sing, Oct 2003 in Vermont. This was a poem of quiet desperation that my friend Scott Herman and I emailed to each other when we were deep in work-misery. Trey turned it into a cool jam, and then later (the next time we rearranged it in 2009 in New York for the album Joy) a rock anthem. I love this version -- it jams at the end...the "band" remember is Trey on drums, Trey on guitar(s), Trey on bass, Trey on keys, Trey on vocals...etc... Multi-tracking heaven. Maybe I'm singing somewhere in there...

      Definitely hear similarities with the 'Undermind' sound.

      I like the latin feel. Way different than what I was expecting. It's amazing how much a song can transform from start to finish.

      I thought this was written around the time of Kill Devil Falls?

      I was lucky enough to see this song's live phish debut and it has been one of my favorite Joy songs ever since. Was this version recorded in 2003 or 2009?

      Wow, I didn't realize the song was that old! It REALLY fits with the Undermind-era vibe here, musically and lyrically. The multi-tracked jam is pretty astonishing, too. Tom, thank you so much for sharing this!

      Love the almost tribal feel to this demo.

      Love the woodblock metronome to keep the "time" theme going.
