- ===Lyrics===
Fill my head with
Your nonsense
You can breathe my breath
Till I turn red
Close your eyes
Try to follow me
If you close your eyes
You can become me
You can park your shoes
On my front step
Then gently walk barefoot
Through my sunken chest
I'll shade my eyes from
The burning sun
But feel confident
'Cause we're as bold
As love... and laughter
Wake me up when
The day is late
so I can watch the sunset
and go back to bed
And dream so real
A fantastic stage
Psychodramatic means to
Uncertain ends
I'll scare you blind with
My confidence
As cool as Jesus
And his twelve best friends
The reason we can
Do these things is that
The Earth has told
Of an outrageous spring...
Remembered
We'll meet for breakfast
In the sun room
The feeling in my soul
As sweet as good perfume
Leave your sex
At the door... come in
There's ecstasy for all
No need to leave your name
Pirouettes
We will make in game
On the ceiling
Movies of our lives will play
The reason we can
Do these thngs is that
Our minds are clouded
And we can't see
Straight
Maybe I've playedv My part
But it's a players
Art
Me and my friends
We were just living... playing
I've heard the sound
That silence makes
And I realize the world
Can break
From the inside out
Or outside in
On a breath of wind
Even if you’re not into IME, just listening to the composition of every track on this entire album- layers upon layers of individual melodies with each instrument…and the complex building of crescendos…chaotic and it all fits together perfectly, and you can’t deny this is a masterpiece. Way before it’s time. Quite possibly the greatest album ever recorded in my opinion. Grossly underrated and under appreciated. Still listening loud in 2021.
Yes definitely before it's time and so underrated!! All the following generations can appreciate what I Mother Earth has to offer musically! 🎶🥁🎶🎸🎙🎧📻
When this album was released, me and a couple of friends drove from Fort Collins CO to the fox theatre in Boulder CO and paid 10.67 for a ticket. 106.7 was a rock station in Denver. Was an incredible concert. We all ate some X. Floated away. Good times for this 56 yo man. Many moons ago.
This is the only album of theirs that I've paid any attention to. IMO it's their only good album!
...and...yes.
One of my all time favorite songs. So underrated...
5 years later and probably one of the most underrated albums I've ever enjoyed
Its frustrating how underrated they are😞 same with Tea Party
Jésus songs not exposed til shea back
Big Red Love overall composition of this tune. I am a guitarist and love blasting this while playing along
It's not underrated; it is highly rated, deservedly so. Terrific song!
I’ve commented on this already but WHO’S here in 2020? One of the greatest songs ever!👍😎
2021
2022
Yep 2022
2022❤
2023 baby!
Thanks dad, for bringing this band's existence to my knowledge.
Possibly one of the greatest songs ever recorded.
Quite possibly NOT one of the greatest songs ever recorded.
Good to see you're so passionate, but statements like that just make you look/sound so emotional and stupid.
I absolutely LOVE it, especially this version, and I don’t care what anyone says
I first heard this album in 1995 and was immediately in love. Every song, in my opinion, was absolutely beautifully unique. This is just one of them. One of the most underrated bands ever!
Twas a terrific era. Music that had import and gravitas, composed intelligently and cleverly, with purpose and talent.
I’ve always said the same thing. I’ve introduced friends to this album- all blown away by this masterpiece and in awe that it was only their first time listening to it. Shame but nice to have it as a secret for a passionate group of fans.
Still sounding good in 2024. 👍
Jag Tanna is one of the most underrated guitarists. If this lineup could have stayed together and stayed this course they would have been bigger IMO.
and Edwin was just awful.
I Mother Oath
Ya a shame they broke up but a legacy to be proud of all the same.
@@stephencosgrove3475 Edwin's ego got the best of him, but damn could he sing. Bit of humility and luck, they would've been huge.
The only way to truly enjoy and get the maximum effect of this masterpiece is as follows, summertime, blazed sufficiently, wait till the end of a thunderstorm, not beginning, very key, start dong, take hit, listen as music syncs up with fading storm.
Yes I am, very much.
Hahaha that’s what I’m doing right now minus the storm and I totally agree. Greetings from Oklahoma
This is my go to song for grieving. Iv listened to it as friends and family have passed on. Thank you for helping me find a way...
way underrated band
The 90s were awesome. We didn’t know how good we had it. I miss those days.
I wish I appreciated it a lot more at the time.
Soooo ridiculously good. Just now listened to this song for the first time in about 15 years and *ZAP!* I'm right back to the balmy summers of my early and mid teens. This and Not Quite Sonic were played in my bedroom about a bajillion times. Such amazing stuff.
Penta J Me too. Awesome lyrics, guitar, bass, drums, just outright good music. Takes me back to my room also.
It eocks
It's just one of the greatest songs ever...let's simply agree.
Love this tune. I’m a Canuck living in Oklahoma. Played this and hip tunes at a few get togethers. Folks here love it
One of my favourite songs. Want it played at my funeral
Request denied, Dexy. You're gonna get Come on Eilene over and over.
This reminds me of the mid-90s when I walked up and down Queen Street West going through all the used CD and cassette places
I lived in Queen and Parliament back then. Right by the basketball courts... what a time.
one of the best Canadian albums of all time. its a shame they got pushed to mainstream by their label. The label subdued this incredible musicianship for radio hooks. They still managed to cultivate a little bit of this early essence as they went on, but this is where they shine. Too bad most people know them from One More Astronaut. Which, in and of itself is a decent radio tune. This album just didn't get the widespread acclaim it deserves. Dig will always be in my rotation
Delicious. Here is how you determine whether a song is worth its salt: put in on loud and listen from another room - when it still sounds important from afar, it's the real deal. This one floats and pulsates with terrific energy. Superb.
One of the BEST things I love about this song(other than everything) is that I'm one of the few(ive found) that really knows about it!!!!
Rick Dangerous that is so true! One of those great songs that many don’t about it blows my mind. The band Bug Head Todd is a good example.
Loved this song for about 25 years now.
One of my most favorite songs
I listen to this every Sunday morning. It just fits
my kind of church music.
It's Sunday! If you listened today reply. If not you might be a liar 😁
Not a fan of most of the eras alt rock...But this band was top notch,deserved much more acclaim.
I've played this song at gatherings (pre covid) and people connect instantly to the catchy melody. "What is is?" they ask.
Never apreciatted how good this song is until the last few weeks, cant stop playing it. Phenomenal
Some of my fave memories of these guys back in the day... Proud to say I got to hang with both iterations of this band.... Once, smoking a few in their bus outside Reds in Edmonton... The next playing crusin USA with Brian in a Red Deer dive bar with Brian while my bud jammed with Jag.
Not an underrated song by any means... Underappreciated, under-heard for sure. One of the best tracks to come out of the Canadian 90s.
Unrated, not underrated. Jeepers! This is a terrific tune that was highly lauded in its narrow world, deservedly so.
These guys were so underrated can’t wait for Burt block party 24!
absolutely superb! Builds and builds then "gently" grabs you! Great GYM song too!
3:45 is still one of the top times for a heavy guitar to come in.
This song will always resonate the Florida Keys with me.
Love this song:)
Emily Alison Me and you both. Great song, awesome lyrics.
Okay. I will.
Love this song. .brings back memories that only I could believe!
I'll scare you blind with
My confidence
As cool as Jesus
And his twelve best friends
Alway liked this line...
Don't let music like this be forgotten...You have to share it.
One of the great songs of the last 30 years.
I was fortunate to see these guys at Vancouver casinos two nights back to back with my best group of freinds Nov 2023 they were sublime this song was in their first set. Love to I mother earth and thanks for sharing this beautiful music not sure there is anything that can equal the experience of live performance...awesome show!! Masterful musicianship!
One of Canada's greatest bands if only they kept it together.
2024 right meow.. still loving it ❤
The is probably the most perfect song, on a most underappreciated perfect album.
Beautiful song 😌✨❤️💫
I Like What I'm "Hearing," merci.
To my alienated daughter. I love you. This album is good.
Wore this album out when it released. They caught magic in a bottle.
One of the greatest produced songs
What a beautiful and amazing song!! :D
Brilliant track ... Awesome 💜💜🔝😍😍
Reminds me a lot of Summertime Rolls by Janes Addiction.. and definitely some Doors influence in there too with the Drop D riffs lifted straight from The End.
Perfect examples man. Great song!
There you again being fucking stupid...no nothing like the doors or Janes and summertime rolls could not be any more different
@ rhastaa
Go fuck your self you tone-deaf loser.
420 Today- Smoke One To This and the Old Times. Cheers!
I only liked So Gently We Go and Not Quite Sonic on the first album (DIG)
but the 2nd album (Scenery and Fish) was AMAZING!! I'm glad the original singer is back, and that they are STILL touring! IME and Big Wreck are 2 of the GREATEST BANDS EVER!!! yet SO UNDERRATED
I just hooked my American friend on this band. She sent me this song back. It's been awhile since I listened to it. goosebumps all over again!
Heaven.
I haven't seen my daughter in 3 weeks because of corona virus...I love you, Erika.
one of my favorite songs ever!
Great beach song at sunset 🌅 🔥
Psychedelic!
Roadieguru exactly!
This song definitely has a Doors vibe to it. And that’s a good thing IMO.
2024 this one stillll goes hard, but ...gently hard.
We need this music more than ever. 🙂
ah..memories.. great album.
Reminds me of when the first time I heard, the end from the doors, has that same groovy beat
Best
album ever made. and im a KISS fan.
Sorry to hear that. Great album indeed tho.
Mind boggling. Love this song.
Love this tune ✌️🥰
so glad I got to hear these tunes,l live back in the day! lol, awesome tune!
THIS SONG DESERVES A NOBLE PEACE PRIZE!
The saturated, rich, distorted guitar at 3:45 is perfect....
I listen to a lot of Van Halen on youtube. I usually can't listen to anything else for a while because my ears need a palate cleanser and nothing can compete with VH. These guys can.
Saw them live Nov.11th in Edmonton for the first time and it was amazing! I’m a fan now.❤
Almost missed listening to this today. .
Dig is one of those rare "near perfect" Cd's-most alt rock was boring and pretentious, IME were original and so damn good.
Original?
This song has a typical 1960s psychedelic beat, many of the same drop D riffs from The End by the Doors.... and sounds a little too much like Summertime Rolls by Jane’s Addiction.
@@Bartonovich52 WTF are you talking about? Oh yeah you don'y know what the fuck you are talking about. It is actually has a latin type almost Samba beat to it. It sounds absolutely nothing like Summertime rolls much less Janes Addiction. STFU moron
Lol. You’re so triggered I must have done you some personal dishonour by suggesting it sounds like other songs.
Samba? You would have been closer if you guessed Bossa Nova. Have a listen to the rhythm of Tomorrow Never Knows or Time of the Season or Not So Sweet Martha Lorraine. Psychedelic.. as taken from Indian drone music.
Try again you tone-deaf loser.
TIMELESS.
I do this all the time...
Its perfect
Nice, real nice.
This was ahh amazing album when it came out under rated
Priceless tune...thanks..for the share...
Beautiful song 🎵 ❤️
How did i sleep on this? This is great
❤ them❣️
This song defined my 1989, and continues to.
Amazing song.
Love this SO MUCH! So far I go, pretty feckin sure I'm dying now. Finally done it.......
very cool lyrics
🌟 The Dig album came out in 1993. It's 2023. Please do a Remastered 30th Anniversary Reissue of this amazing album this year! Please "like" this comment if you're a fan and agree. Maybe it will help to show that people want this to happen.
Amaziballs
Damn this is like a mix of Weens Zoloft and The Doors The End. I dig it
I'm going to there concert in two weeks
wow super song
Lost my America
The universe in you
Basketball
No one
So gently we go
The mothers
Levitate
Rain will fall
Not quite sonic
how good is this song
💙
cool!
niceee
Coolest!
How is this 30 years old? Seriously.
indeed it is....
The 90's was the best era to grow up in for music
i was14-24 y.o. in the 90's. i haven't enjoyed any new band since 99. maybe early combichrist records.
Think late 60s and early 70s was the best to be honast.
a good portion of this sounds like The End by The Doors
I was looking for someone to comment on this. Indeed, 80% of the instrumental part is "The End"
and remember death is not the end bt onlly a transition.
Better watch out. Some triggered deaf ignoramus might tell you to STFU with those remarks.
