[@aceisgreat2008]

It was always summer in the 90s

[@liquidfirepainting1169]

I think it's because of the memories of listening to these bands throughout the day more. I remember when U2's beautiful day would play on my moms stereo came on and it was really beautiful outside, sun shining, partly cloudy, 80 degrees and not a worry in my head. just me being a kid and cloud gazing while thinking on what I wanted to do next.

[@CitySkin09]

Jakob played this at a private event because I told him it was my favorite song in high school. I also got a picture with him. Dude is awesome sauce.

[@matulich77]

My mom use to call her sister Marlene, Marlena. I always think of my Tia when I hear this song. She's passed on but her memory is timeless just like this song.

[@taxationistheft2.0]

6th Avenue Heartache was a poem he wrote when he was 19.

[@jb111082]

What did you expect, he's the son of Bob Dylan.

[@rpmangin]

@@jb111082 Funny you mention that, when another commenter mentioned 6th Avenue Heartache. There's a theory that the line "The same black line that was drawn on you was drawn on me," is symbolic for music calling Jakob the same way it called his father.

[@jb111082]

@@rpmangin I've heard that before, and I tend to believe that. If you've ever heard Three Marlanas, then you can REALLY hear his father coming out in him. Just the way he sings that song.

[@loriefouse6045]

The lyrics are taken literally to indicate each of the song's verses focusing on a different character. The description of the first character is of an individual who seeks attention ("she only went and did what she did so he would drive her home then"); the second of an individual who wishes for stability & security (she wishes for a husband and a job); and the third, of an individual who values freedom ("I'm headed out on that highway/I'm goin' right out of state"). The three seemingly dissimilar selves are unified in the chorus. 0 7 months ago

[@melchiando]

***** hhj NJ jkkkk

[@matambale]

Lorie Russell I hear it as three facets of the same woman, and the chorus, as you said, is the clue. Great comment.

[@mitherapeuticmassage]

+Lorie Russell Unfortunately, you are incorrect. This song is clearly about the savings and loan scandals in the first verse, the second verse is about how movies today are more about violence and making money than to get people to think and to improve upon ourselves. The 3rd verse is about Donald Trump running for President in 2016 and the bands support for his ambitions, while simultaneously bashing Obama and his performance over the past 7 years. These are undeniable scientific facts, and can't be disputed. :D lol

[@timhurst1350]

I've gotta be honest ..... never really paid attention to the verses, just the chorus. And your observation cannot be more right. Great job.

Never seen before. Back then I wrote a christian song inspired in the sound of this song. Completely different song but I wrote it imagining this people singing the song in the same style. I'm not even a songwriter neither a musician not even a singer. I wrote poetry even I was young.The song was pretty good, and a musician friend asked me to let him include it in his first album. It was a little hit on the old mp3.com site. So thanks for the inspiration, Wallflowers!
