Gotta Do What You Can Just to Keep Your Love Alive



It's funny the way that a song can be to resonate with you, seemingly out of nowhere and in a new way. You've heard the song upwards of a hundred times in your mom's car, in your own head phones, in the shitty computer speakers you had in your room four years ago, but all of a sudden it comes out in a new way.

Sometimes the subject matter doesn't even pertain to you and a song about living as a touring musician somehow sums up your feelings about a completely different thing. There's an area in between subjects where we all live and it feels like I'm reveling in that now. For some reason the space between "riding a tour bus in the 1970's" and "ending my job" feels particularly relevant right now.

P.S. The ad-libbed "Ooooo-ooh!" in the second verse!

P.P.S. It always gets me when they kick into the main riff for the outro. Goddamn.
