This reminds me of the good old days of 107.7 the X FM out of Birmingham AL in the early early 2000’s. The X Fest at Oak Mountain Amphitheatre and the awesome albums called Live at the X lounge. They had awesome alternative bands and artists do a song or 2 acoustic only then put them together in an album each year called Live in the X Lounge 1-7 or so. It’s been a long time so I’m not sure if it was 7 but close. This song was on the second album. Other bands I can remember were Fuel, Better Than Ezra, Brother Cain, Sister Hazel, Creed before they got overplayed, Jump little Children, The Black Crowes and many more. I think this station helped push a lot of artists into the big time for example John Mayer, Train, and 3 doors down all did big Birmingham shows after the station had been playing and talking about them. Then they did a song for the X Lounge then blew up soon after. 107.7 the X was very successful but someone bought them out at the hight of the station’s popularity. From that day forward I haven’t been able to pick up a station that could compete.

I assume it wasn't intended this way, but him saying goodbye at the end makes me think he knew this girl wasn't gonna be around much longer and he was just trying to provide a little bit of comfort before she completely self-destructed. Adds another layer to the song for me.

As a musician, let me start off with this isn't generally my favorite type of music. I usually like it a bit a more charged and energetic, but sometimes, a slowed down nostalgia trip is good too. The fact that he still retains the ability to sing this note for note shows: A.) How perfectly in his range it is (even though it has that falsetto whip) B.) How well he has taken care of his voice. Not everyone can do that for 30+ years

Lay your weary head down. Dry your tired eyes. Lay your weary head down and rock-a-bye. She grew up with the children of the stars In the Hollywood hills and the boulevards. Her parents threw big parties. You know everyone was there. They hung out with folks like Dennis Hopper and Bob Seger and Sonny and Cher. She feels safe now in this bar on Fairfax. And from the stage I can tell that she can't let go and she can't relax. And just before she hangs her head to cry, I sing to her a lullaby. I sing:Everything's gonna be all right. Rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye. Everything's gonna be all right. Rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye. Well she still lives with her mom outside the city Down that street about a half a mile. And all her friends tell her she's sooo pretty But she'd be a whole lot prettier if she smiled once in a while. But you know even her smile looks like a frown. She's seen her share of devils in this angel town. And everything's gonna be all right. Rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye. Everything's gonna be all right. Rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye. I told her I ain't so sure about this place. It's hard to play a gig in La La land and keep a straight face. Seems like everybody's got a plan...they better man. It's kind of like Nashville with a tan. But everything's gonna be all right. Rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye. Everything's gonna be all right. Rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye. But everything's gonna be all right. Rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye. Everything's gonna be all right..yes it is Wont you rock-a-bye. Say bye bye baby....say bye bye Your welcome :-)
