TRACK 9:
Digging JONATHA'S NOTE:Part Appalachian folk song, part rocking out, this is a searching song. Going through a troubled time, thank god getting to the other side. Digging deep. Reconciling all your choices, for better for worse. I love that it's off kilter in the verses. Where the hell was one anyway?? But more the abandon of the choruses. When we tracked the vocal, there were three Japanese engineers visiting Bob Clearmountain's studio, so they sat in the back when I did a couple of takes. When I came into the control room to listen back, they would applaud every time. They didn't speak any English, so it was this funny awkward sense of having to perform. I suppose it made me sing a little better in the end. Nothing like three engineers to keep your pitch in line.
LYRICS:
I am digging deep, I am digging wide Looking for clues, in the grand design But no better, no better I'll never ever be I f I can't keep what I find Cuz I have lost so many things And I have loved so foolishly But oh, never no never have I walked this dark path Or felt this troubled sleep So can you make ends meet when they're tattered and frayed Make peace with the things that you've done Cuz the end has nothing to do with the means and the Way that the battle's won Cuz you try to talk me down And I'm running all around You try to make some sense of me But there I am in pieces on the ground And so I wander, so I lust Ever wonder who to trust Cuz there's no clear line from blindness to sight No straight path from dust to dust So can you make ends meet when they're tattered and frayed Make peace with the things that you've done When the end has nothing to do with the means and the Way that the battle's won And you try to talk me down And I'm running all around You try to make some sense of me But there I am in pieces on the ground So I am digging deep, I am digging wide I can see true, when I see your eyes And no better, no bettter I'll never ever be Without love by my side |
