almost the title of one of my fav songs by Eliot Smith! I like the idea of a haughty spirit. Even with more ability my bands couldn't have been famous, i couldn't think of anything worse than being asked to play the same old tired songs again and again. Plus i still say songwriters are often the worst judges of a songs likely popularity (so ignore everything i say if you like) i often am! I digress, i like this!

Great abstractions, I'm loving songs about comeuppance and hubris - ain't it a sign of our times? Bringing in regicide ups the ante for sure. Really enjoyed this.

I have played in both punk rock bands and progressive rock bands, and on a admittedly very anecdotal basis that most die hard fans of both styles are tedious to talk to, and that bands whose members exclusively listen to their own style of music makes meh music, especially in prog

But I digress, that Regicide line made me crack up, really enjoyed this track, great lyrics

often, the better a band gets the more boring they become. i think the problem is that once you know what you are doing, you get stuck there...afraid to go any further. until you reach a certain plateau of public acception, you are fearless and can do anything because you dont know what you are doing. if i write a song and am sure it is a good song, the chances are it is a bad song, a song i have written many times before. i hope i never reach the point where i am afraid to write anything else. there now, i have put in rambling prose what you have so much more succinctly said in a song.
