Anyway, Straight Back came on as I was flying over the Grand Canyon & Lake Mead. I had this totally existential experience hearing the song & seeing that scenery for the first time. It just couldn't have been a better soundtrack for the moment. 13 years later, I still can't hear the song without thinking of that imagery. 
In any event, I've always felt Straight Back doesn't get it's due respect. It may be a poor man's Sister Of The Moon, but it's still a great little song.  |
Fantastic story.. lol "poor man's Sister of the Moon" I have a similar experience with the song Brown Eyes. I was also flying, except I was flying to London to meet with someone I
really didn't want to see, and as soon as I touched down, the chorus began, and I felt this horrid surge of anger and euphoria. Later, it turned into an amazing experience, but I just remembered that darkness...
