Murals make it right, well, how can that explain?
Nobody can tell what the hell they're even saying
No one sees it's easier to change
No one sleeps and no one stays awake
No one complains

And I'll find wherever you go
And I'll help with things you don't know
And I'll get you out of the show
And I'll find wherever you go

It's things you have to give and never come around
There's opportunity to tread instead of drown
Remarks will make the living settle down
They call them markets instead of towns
They like how it sounds

Most of us are wrong
Most of us agree
Must have been the wrong
Message we received

If you gotta choose, I've gotta change
And if you've got the truth, I've gotta trade
And if you've got a feud, I've got a fade
My heart will wear you out

Yeah, my heart will wear you down
Yeah, my heart will wear you down
Yeah, my heart will wear you down

This is an epic tune - great vocals, great guitars.  





I took BBoyes comment to be positive about the intro!  Extrapolate much bud?

I can see the similarities, but these guys have a wider range.




A plus for the "similarities" comment, but come on. Neil has scores of albums, many with completely different styles. From Trans to Harvest Moon to The Blue Notes. That "wider range" comment is hokey.

Such a GREAT heavy rockin' tune.

I turn it UP every time this rounds the bend. Excellent...

(And so sad to see comparisons to NY. Can't music stand on it's own, or do y'all have to compare everything to things you already know?)

Didn't give this one much thought when I first heard it... until it stuck in my head the rest of the week! Now I wait for it to air here each time, and give the proper amount of attention. A very interesting composition, that rocks at just the right moments.

It's probably not just you; to a lot of people who post in these song comments, everything has "shades of Pink Floyd" - or they seem to want to believe that.  Maybe Floyd is the only musical frame of reference for a lot of people.   I can hear the clear Neil Young influence in this number, but Pink Floyd?  Whatever - everyone hears different stuff in music.

I hope they come through town again! Already feels too long since I saw them. What a show! THREE SCREAMING LEAD GUITARS, loads of talent, wickedly good lyrics; solid wall of rock-jam sound. Their encore was a ripping cover of The Smiths' "How Soon Is Now"

If you like this, Built To Spill Live is a must have. "Cortez the Killer" runs over 20 minutes and is still too short.

They we´re certainly inspired by NY & CH. And that´s a good thing. Looking forward to see Neil and the Horse on their foggy trip in Holland in June.

Have loved this band for a long time.  First time I saw them live back in '99 or so, their encore was a 20 minute jam of Cortez the Killer that was absolutely awesome (there is also a 20 minute version of Cortez the Killer on their 2000 Live album that is definitely worth checking out).  Have seen them 3 more times since then, and they were great every time.  They always throw in a cover or two live... last time it was Third Uncle by Brian Eno.  Awesome!

Ditto ick.  Though the Crazy Horse sound initially hooked me, and prompted my to buy this album, the guitar work and range of styles on the other albums made me a fan.

I saw a triple bill of Built to Spill, Sleater-Kinney, and Sonic Youth at an afternoon outdoor show (Seattle, 1997)—definitely not the best venue for the latter.  Anyway, Built to Spill was the best of the three at that show.  Luckily, I managed to see Sonic Youth/Two Dollar Guitar later at CBGBs—MUCH better setting for them.  I've seen Sleater-Kinney three times live and each time I'm kinda like "eh {#Yawn} ."  They're better in a mix of other artists.
