Re: New Song - Virginia in the Rain

Yea I like this more after hearing it at spac. Its not as dull live as I thought it would be after listening to people's videos. I to think the chorus is the best part of this song. Wish Dave would write a new verse that was on the level of the chorus!

    So pretty much guaranteed to get this one in VA Beach... If we get this and he leaves Be Yourself at home, I can certainly live with that.

    I kind of half agree and half disagree. For their own sake, the verses could be more interesting, but for the sake of the overall song I like having them as sort of a "build" into the chorus. It's a neat effect: the chorus suddenly slices into this slightly hypnotic monotony they verses create.

    This song has been in my head all day yesterday and today after hearing it at the show Saturday. Loved it. Very mellow to catch at a show, but I think this is one of Dave's lyrical efforts of writing about his kids and the feelings he gets watching them grow up. I like the playful nature of the verses compared to the heartfelt and sentimental chorus.

    As a father of two young kids, these lyrics resonate with me more than a DMB song has in a while.

    Seems like lately the only way to be able to connect to a dave song is by having kids. They are all he ever writes about nowadays...well that and LoVe!! I will say though compared to his other efforts in this topic I think this one has some potential, and uses a little more imagery in his lyrics as opposed to just coming right out and saying what he is thinking.

    I don't have kids, and I connect to this one pretty well. Yes, it's about kids growing up, but there is a universal sadness in there. Something about growing older, watching the things around you change, and trying to hold onto what is familiar and meaningful just a little longer all along knowing the inevitable. It's some heavy stuff. On an emotional level, I think this song is the first to really resonate with me since Some Devil.

    8-28 version

    This is a good song. Carter is fantastic as always and the chorus is incredibly strong. I'd prefer more fills from the horn section, but overall there's a lot to like here and it's gotten better as the summer has progressed.

    Nice, so far I am calling this album Bonehead, since to me it is a cross breed of Bon Iver and Radiohead (yes I know the middle e doesn't work but oh well)

    I must like this new song the most, as I am really looking forward to hearing it at the Gorge. Also hope for a full DotHS.

    Anyone else think this song could be a love letter from Dave to the fans, possibly lamenting the fact that the band is getting older and will one day have to stop and these summer tours we take for granted will be nothing but memories?

    Oh wait, it includes the line "whatever you want I'll give you that"...nevermind.

    Really wanted to hear this over the summer but only went to Irvine. I was holding off listening to any other version than the debut. Will download and listen to some more but so far this is my top newer song.

    I really enjoy this song with just D&T. I enjoy it full band as well but based of this one performance with just D&T I might like this the best.

    came here to post this. I've been mostly indifferent since it's debut full band, but wouldn't say I disliked it.

    I've had D&T's version from Texas stuck in my head since last night now after listening

    It only took me to my second listen to love this song. It can kind of bring the energy down at the full band show as with any piano tune, but I've seen it 3 times live now and enjoyed it every time, especially in Cville this year. Exact opposite of how I feel about DOTHS.

    This has certainly become my favorite tune with Dave on the piano/keys. Had it stuck in my head after the Columbia show for sure.

    The chorus is awesome. I really hope this makes it onto album if/when there's another one.

    By far the Charlottesville anniversary show on 5/7/16. Carter is great and it builds really well.

    I was really hoping the TNT Neighborhood thing would have full songs because it sounded great when they showed it.
