"....when you lay your dreams to rest, you can get what's second best but it's hard to get enough..." Man, that really hits home! Powerful straight-forward lyrics.
So many years ago, I saw a review in Dirty Linen I think it was....about HOME AGAIN. Ordered the CD. Haven't stopped since then. David is a natural born folk singer and songwriter. Brilliant the way he spins out metaphors to make his insightful observations about how wild, whacky, and wonderful life can be.
David is the purest form of artist. The only objective of an artist is to make you feel the emotion that he/she wants you to feel. David takes that to the next level and makes you feel that the emotions are yours.
I LOVE this song..I was so happy to finally find it on TH-cam... Now I desperately want a 'rocket bike'...to run away...hide in the pouring rain...to be a flash of light...that never felt the pain.....
I remember the first time I heard this song. My wife and I were driving between Austin and Houston. When ever I hear this song I remember. It seems like a lifetime ago. It was.
Ain't that the truth! I had a good friend, now sadly deceased, that fell into that same category, Gamble Rogers - regionally loved, nationally unknown.
Not a motorcycle buff myself but I'd heard of the Honda Hurricane high-performance motorcycle before I first heard this song. It made sense that if such a bike were driven fast enough, the air-flow over the ferring could easilly create "this place inside where you can hide from the pouring rain"--as the lyrics indicate. I never thought the song was about drugs.
after watching my ex wife have an on/off affair for 17 odd years......I was silent.....like the eye of the hurricane......but the wind is about to blow....evil is easy...and infinite....I fight every day to keep it at bay......
It may be a song about dying on a bike, but it's also a song about a bike. And bikes are cool. So. Cool. And fun, and awesome, and fast and slow and loud and quiet and reactive and accepting and comfortable or not and basically just... Something I pine for. Maybe some people identify with the problematic nature of the song. Maybe they want to be like the girl. Maybe they find the idea romantic. Maybe they'll do anything to get away from their homework.

One of my favorites of his. Fabulous. He brushed my arm as he walked by at Music Millennium. I fled.....

My dad loved this song when it first came out. We were a motorcycling family. Now that I haven't ridden for a while it hits me pretty hard

One of the great songs ever. We all live in the "Eye."

Glad to finally find this song. Now I want the bike.

i herd this sound 20 years ago awsome
this song is why i want a superbike
@easterbunnyhelps It's a double meaning for a girl who gets caught up in drugs and gets past the point of no return. It ends up killing her.
@damianeastwood i discovered David Wilcox about 30 seconds ago :D
@LiamCapt open c tuning
Motorcycles are an addiction. So are tattoos

Hi Leah :)
Does anyone know the tuning for this song?
and only one capo?
Why are people wanting a bike now? This song is about a girl dying in a bike crash
It may be a song about dying on a bike, but it's also a song about a bike.

@suprafan99 like taylor swift. dont really care for her music but good lord every girl thinks it is about her own life.
Ugh!
why is he making this a joke??? its about a girl dying on a motorcycle crash
I didn't notice anyone making this a joke. It is a tragedy, more so when you realize she died long before the beginning of the song.
Not a powerhouse voice that's for sure
i herd this sound 20 years ago awesome
