This is what the song means to me. The car is Jakob Dylan's (the singer) life. Once upon a time, there were two guiding lights in his life - his soulmate and himself. But his soulmate died, leaving the car with just one headlight. But the singer has decided that he is able to continue negotiating his life with just one headlight, even though the other, darkened headlight will forever remind him of what he has lost. But that's just me.
Yea, but "in the middle" is a hard one. I mean it could mean what Lex was spittin' on about, but there's a couple other things I've thought of as possibilities too, like it could be Biblical, there's Heaven (Top), Hell (Bottom), and Earth (middle). Since she's dead and he "thinks her death it must be killing me", he's trying to get himself to try just a little bit to get through this life with only the one headlight half of himself without his soul mate eh?
There's other interpretations too, but that's what makes it good art, no?
I get the same thing from the song. It took on a special meaning for me after I lost a loved one.
Wow that's deep and very intuitive!
Great interpretation
Țrue dude
You can hear his dad in his voice and see him in his face. 6th Avenue Heartache by them is also great. Their cover of David Bowie's Heroes is the best imo.
Who is his dad?
Bob Dylan
@@Thehollowleg Thank you! I did see it in another comment down the line but, thank you so much for your prompt reply!😘💖💖
@@Thehollowleg The Man, The Myth, The Legend 🙌
♥ that song too!
I think this is one of those songs that the more life experiences you have the more you relate to it.
"man, I ain't changed, but I know I ain't the same." has always been the line that got to me.
Definitely. I loved the song when I was a teen in the 90's, but as a 36 year old man, it hits me like a freight train.
I think every time someone important in your life dies, you know that you haven't changed, but you'll never be the same.
This line along with I was me but me is gone from fade to black my favorite ever
Probably the greatest line of poetry written since Robert Frost.
I never really noticed how excellent the musicianship was on this song. The little guitar parts during the verse are excellent gems.
My son as a baby would bounce in his crib to this song. Happy memories 😢
The organ is a Hammond organ run through a rotating speaker, popular in jazz and gospel. The galloping bass part with the straight drum beat really drives the song forward, and the sound you couldn’t name was a slide guitar.
I think it was a pedal steel played by Lee Leblanc, but Micheal Ward could have played it on guitar too.
@@alexo5861 There is def a pedal or maybe lap steel for the electric slide break...but other slide playing in the song is absolutely a National Dobro Acoustic Steel String played likely with a bottleneck slide.
Brad & Lex, Jakob Dylan on lead vocals(Bob's son). This was their top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100, but they had 4 top 10's on the Mainstream chart, and 13 top 10's on the Adult Album Alternative charts
Personally I can't say enough about The Wallflowers. Thoughtful, poetic, heartwrenching stories and lyrics. Finely crafted music. Very famous at one point, but no trace of glamour. Super commited to their art...In many respects the perfect sonwriter/rock group up there with R.E.M. and the best of them. Sorely missed....
Jakob def got some of his father's talent. Great song! ♥
Once again , your lady nailed it. Brains and wicked beauty, you are one fortunate son. But you are way too literal, your lady gets the true meaning of it. Well done
That is a slide guitar with lots of effects to answer your question "what is that" 4:10
In my eyes I look at this song as a musical link between two generations. The 1960-70s generation that remembers Bob Dylan in his heyday, and the one that got this song in the late 90s. I was only a two-year-old when this hit the radio but it's still pretty cool if you ask me! Iconic, poetic chill song with lots of nostalgia!
This song distinctly reminds me of being a kid hearing it on the radio in California in the mornings. I would get on the bus in elementary school and this song was always on in the morning. Such weird and wholesome memories but also bittersweet.
This one brings back some 90s memories. This track was a mainstay on (back then) college radio stations & alternative radio stations.
Ah the Wallflowers, one of the best, underrated bands of the late 90s.
Love their musical ways
Totally agree.
so was and still Big Wreck
"What is that?" That, Lex, is slide guitar. Such a great song.
It's a resonator guitar (popular brand is Dobro)
That snare drum cuts right through everything, incredible sound
Well he gave it a shot. The voice of a generation is a hard act to follow.
He never stopped recording. Exit Wounds (2021) is an amazing album.
Jakob Dylan, Bob Dylan's son wrote this of One Headlight. He said he writes a lot in metaphors and each persons meaning of any of his song is their own.
This album and Matchbox 20's were on repeat for me in high school.
Man, this song was all over the radio back in the day.
This song is the late 90's for me. It takes me right back. A great song off of a really good album. 6th Avenue Heartbreak is really good also.
Another one of my favorite songs made it on the channel. Thanks for this reaction. I remember listening to this song all throughout my life.
I've listened to this song thousands of times for decades. I usually don't focus on lyrics, but this song is about a man who had a relationship with a woman. They both loved each other. He left for "more" in life.
She never stopped loving him and felt trapped in their town. She killed herself. He comes back for the funeral and all these emotions come flooding back into him. He's trying to resolve the guilt of leaving, his heartbreak, her death, and whether or not he made the right choices.
Was it better just making do in the town with her, was there some way through that had the best of all options? Or was she only going to hold him back?
The chorus is the conflict. The first part is his desire for greater things. "try a little. Nothing lasts forever."
The second part is how good he had it with her, even if they didn't have much. "But... Me and Cinderella, we put it all together."
Especially the line "We could drive it home with one headlight." The "one headlight" is metaphorical. It's "the middle" half way between nothing and everything. With her they made it work without being rich or having much. Life with her in the town wouldn't have been everything, but they made it work.
According to Jacob. It's about inspiration dying, it's one big metaphor for dead inspiration
i don’t know what it’s about but i love your interpretation.
@@BUD8302 I think I heard him say that before. It all seems like one big metaphor to several different things to me.
Guitar sounds like a resonator guitar. They're visually beautiful as well.
One of the best 90s songs
A very talented writer just like his dad.
Such a great song and great album. I used to listen to it frequently in my high school years. Another favorite off the album is Invisible City.
This song came out at the same time that Princess Dianna died which gave the song a whole new meaning to a lot of people.
Wow, this song finally won a poll? What stream was that? Cool! First time I'd heard this on the radio back in the days on an alternative and college radio stations, I was thinking it was Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. lol. Then I found out it was a band called The Wallflowers when heard their songs more on regular radio stations and MTV videos. They had that old school feel to their songs. Which includes the singer (Jakob) who is the son of the legendary Bob Dylan! That explains everything, was definitely influenced.
Bob Dylan was also in a supergroup band ,Traveling Wilburys which including Tom Petty! Roy Orbison, Jeff Lynne (ELO) and George Harrison (The Beatles) . They were folk/roots rock, country rock. Check them out, too.
You guys should see the video for this song later on, it's nice. The Wallflowers were a good alternative rock band during the '90s and '00s. This song was their biggest hit (mid '90s). See their other videos/songs like "The Difference" "6th Avenue Heartache", "Sleepwalker", "Beautiful Side of Somewhere", "Heroes". These were also on the radio at times.
Good ear from Lex, too. The shuffle/jazz swing vibe she is feeling is probably from the organ and drums. Jazzy, church/gospel, swing music vibe. Also the blooming flower, ethereal, echoey sound, instrument is the slide/steel guitar or maybe the resonator guitar. These are used usually in country music, bluegrass, blues.
I absolutely LOVE this song! This and Counting Blue Cars by Dishwalla.
I think this MIGHT be the only Wallflowers song I know.
Thank you for this 90s gem!
I love counting blue cars. Try 6th Avenue heartache by the Wallflowers, it's my fav.
Cannot wait to see them live next year w Matchbox 20 all of the nostalgia, the best era of music, the 90’s. Fuckin beautiful music
his song takes me back 25 years.. before the world shit itself.. Everytime I hear it, I HAVE to turn it up.. it makes you feel nostalgic and like you are winning all in the same moment. It was on the radio all the time, and yet It never got old..
🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
Saw the Wallflowers in concert years ago in Louisville KY with The Goo Goo Dolls and they were great! ❤ I can totally hear Bob Dylan's voice in Jake's voice when he sings this song. ✨😍
Jakob Dylan: "I tend to write with a lot of metaphors and images, so people take them literally. The song's meaning is all in the first verse. It's about the death of ideas. The first verse says, 'The death of the long broken arm of human law.' At times, it seems like there should be a code among human beings that is about respect and appreciation. I wasn't feeling like there was much support outside the group putting together the record. In the chorus, it says, 'C'mon try a little.' I didn't need everything to get through, I could still get through - meaning 'one headlight."
man they have such a good sound
My absolute favourite from them! Also Sixth Avenue Heartache and We Could Be Heroes
This is just one of those GREAT songs, always listen to it all the way through 👍👍
Drums, organ, bass, rhythm guitar (Dylan) and lead guitar (also uses a slide for an effect where you said, what is that noise? That is a glass slide on the guitarist's finger while playing) There is also an acoustic resonator guitar overdubbed underneath towards the end. (they are the ones with the big metal circle, with cones for a tinny sound)
They put out one stellar album and then never heard of them again (they could have put out more albums, I just never heard them on the radio). Funny that Jakob sounds more like Tom Petty than his dad. Great song.
He's recorded many albums, both with the Wallflowers and as a solo artist. Exit Wounds (2021) is amazingly sequenced. He sounds like Tom Petty because Tom was one of his biggest inspirations- Jakob gave the speech for the Heartbreakers when they were inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame.
4:00 lex it's a steel guitar or slide guitar one of my favorite country instruments ever
He composed his band like the Heartbreakers, hence the keyboard. He spent a couple years of his childhood traveling with his dad on a Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers tour while Bob would join them on stage.
I loved this song when I was in high school. It's very smooth.
The song is about his 2 border collies, Wendy and Cindy. Wendy ran away during a house fire, and Cindy ran out to try to find her. Cindy only had one eye. When Jakob found them, Wendy was dead. He drove Cindy home but she was never the same.
I first started getting into music around this time - mid 90s, my mom started listening to "alternative" songs like this, collective soul, alanis morisette, etc, green day, no doubt, etc - alternative radio - was a great time to be an early teen
Couple hits for a minute. Faded
This is IMO the Wallfowers' best song. There's a good bit of worthwhile rock there to listen to, but for me this one tops it all.
According to the writer of the song Jakob Dylan, most of his songs include metaphors which confuse his fans especially when they take the lyrics literally but this song is about the “death of ideas”.
6th ave heartache is my favorite. Absolutely love the Wallflowers. Jakob is finer than a frog's hair split three ways.
They do a great cover of David Bowie's WE COULD BE HEROS. on The Replacements Soundtrack.
you dig up so many forgotten childhood gems of nostalgia. i love you guys!
Such a great tune. Thanks!
Perfect 90s song
Cars that I see at night that have one headlight working I call them cyclopes, lol
Great song! It is funny to me that Brad was focused on the drums (which I always do for this song as well) and Lex noticed the organ sound.
I’ve always loved this group and song. You can hear hints of his father in not only his singing but his writing style.
4:08 Witnessing someone's first time hearing a guitar slide is awesome haha That's the best reaction ever. To answer what it is, it's basically a metal cylinder that goes over your finger to allow guitar notes to be played without pushing on the string and allowing the cylinder to slide smoothly from note to note.
The rhythm reminds me a lot of "Lessons in love" by Level 42, a huge hit in the 80s.
This song reminds me of you guys a couple that keep on keeping on in spite of car troubles and just life troubles in general bringing us the tunes of life
That little chill part is a guitar solo on delay using a slide tube on the frets. It’s a pretty cool device used on the fret hand to create that sliding effect and it’s used in many popular songs.
Jakob Dylan's lyrics are reminiscence of seniors narrative / lyrical poetic form
Cool laid back song, remembered when this played on MTV. Cruising around drunk in a hooptie with one working headlight on, while one hand is over my left eye so I can see str8.
Only song I know nd like from The Wallflowers.
🤘💀👍
This is one of those nostalgic songs for me. They used to play this on the radio all the time.
I could just watch Lex listen to music all day lol
That car insurance commercial played this to death.
Great song, i used to listen to this when driving from NY to Florida. Enjoy your banter about songs. I personally listen to lyrics and the instrumental arrangements in that order but as we all know some songs just grab you and you like them for whatever reason.
Music cures everything !!! It's magical. So happy in my routine sadness.
2:43 damn girl! Look at you throwing out some terminology. Nice job! :D
Lead singer... son of the great Bob Dylan (just trivia). The storyteller is dealing with the death of his friend, who he was with earlier in life. Friend, or lover, it doesn't matter. She killed herself after trying to handle all the ugliness of life and wound up jumping out her window (died of a broken heart disease... ended at her window ledge). The chorus says that when they were together life was so good and easy (me and Cinderella, we put it all together). So easy that they could have driven home with one headlight and it would have worked out fine. This all leads to the final verse, where he's looking around at his life without her and it sucks (her death, it must be killing me).
Songs about man trying to find peace from his long lost tragic love story... These lyrics are sad.. Dark.. Tragic.. It's more like a poem than just lyrics
This song came on the radio 1998 a hot summer night , 5 AM me and my love way up on a mountain road in the Okanagan , my car had both headlight working but man we were in love. It brings me back every time.
Reportedly, in an interview Jakob Dylan (singer/songwriter) was alluding to the death of ideas.
I may not have this spot on, but I can give an interpretation that I think is fairly apt.
Throughout the verses of the song he is alluding to the death of ideas or inspiration, and therefore the loss of hope that can come with that. He also explores the self awareness and longing for better that people experience when they are put in undesirable situations.
He then opines in the chorus that time is fleeting and that you must stay motivated, and that you can even get where you want to be in life with even the most broken of situations.
I truly love this song.
Other good songs of this style:
Shattered by OAR
Ho Hey by The Lumineers
Somewhere Only We Know by Keane
Over My Head by The Fray
Big Casino by Jimmy Eat World
Vindicated by Dashboard Confessional
haven't heard this in forever..still love it
Thank you for reviewing this song. One of my favorites.
This is a great band. Not huge commercial success. Jacob Dylan on vocals, the son of Bob Dylan.
Underrated band
Wallflowers have some really nice songs. Others have mentioned 6th avenue heartache which also has Adam duritz from The counting Crows on it. But also Josephine and three Marlenas are great wallflowers songs
Just like the counting Crows, wallflowers tell great little stories in their songs. The line in this song about the place being like an old beat-up truck, where you turn the engine but the engine doesn't turn... Very evocative like the rest of the song
right after this album came out, I thought this band was gonna have great album after great album. Great song. Rock on Brad & Lex
‘She said it’s cold, it feels like Independence Day’. Tell me that’s not something Lex would say!!!😂
Great lyric, “We can drive it home, with one headlight”
Lex you are holding back. We know you know what you know about music. And Brad, man you’re lovely here.
I saw them November 1997 in south Florida.... great show,...
Man this brings back so many memories! Great song guys!
You can definitely tell this is Bob Dylan's son from his voice.
Yes. Definitely "6th Avenue Heartache" should be next.😀
One of the great choruses from the 90’s.
Other Wallflowers songs:
- 6th Avenue
- Three Malinas
- The Difference
JACKOB IS A BEUTIFUL HUMBLE TALENT !!!!!!!!!!!!
Ah 1997, how I miss you.
02/09/1997 was my birth in Atlanta.
I can’t believe it, I love song
Bob Dylan son. Some live versions you definitely hear it
I always thought it was more like: "there's got to be something better than this out there - you only live once, so you might as well go for it and try to find that better life instead of just staying stuck here."
The writer Jake Dylan said that people tended to take this song too literally. Obviously it wasn’t as he was using metaphors and images to write not about the death of a girl but the repression of one’s ideals by others and the struggle to break through and be recognised.
At 4:12 Lex asked what is that? I think you're hearing the tremelo from the Leslie speaker. Leslies are commonly used with Hammond organs and also with electric guitar
I legit forgot about this song! What a banger. Thanks guys.
My favorite by them is Sleepwalker. In fact it's one of my all time top ten favorite songs. 6th Avenue Heartbreak is also really, really good.
The lead singer is Jacob Dylan. He is Bob Dylan's son.
I'm so old I think of this 1996 tune as "recent." :)
I been trying for months to get yall to get here I love it
Totally remember this song and heard it a lot as it was played on MTV and the radio a lot. They did the remake "Heroes" that David Bowie did for the 1998 Godzilla Motion Picture soundtrack.
Love this song. Always hits
