      When I used to live in Vermont around 2006ish I'd go hiking in the mountains alone with my dog. One hike I did had a cabin shelter at the top and it had a journal for hikers to write a note in. That's that lyric i wrote in the journal. It's always resonated with me.

They didn't even know if their amps/instruments (organ) would work. And that's obvious if you hear and watch the organ player hitting his instrument in order to make (a broken) sound. Kick drum doesn't work as well. Legendary performance.

    Very cool surprise to see these guys reunited and on the show last night. This is their most well-known track and a great one for sure (as is the entire Bows + Arrows album) but they have a ton of killer songs that I like just as much or more including Heaven, Rue The Day, Lost You, Canadian Girl, The North Pole, Woe Is Me, In The New Year, Victory, Thinking of a Dream I Had, Juveniles, Wake Up, If Only It Were True, Heartbreaker...the list goes on. Still, The Rat is a perfect choice to come out of the gates with on a reunion tour. Awesome to have them back.
