Couldn't you try just a little bit harder? Couldn't you try just a little bit more?
These lines hit me like a ton of bricks while sitting watching the waves on Ocean Beach in SF one morning, thinking about relationships.
Seems like "try harder" is always the answer, painful and inconvenient as that might be. I wish it was easier, but it's not. Glad I did though, as I remember my mom on her b-day today.
Now watch as the ball revolves
And the nighttime falls.
Again the hunt begins,
Again the bloodwind calls.
By and by, the morning sun will rise,
But the darkness never goes
From some men's eyes.
It strolls the sidewalks and it rolls the streets,
Staking turf, dividing up meat.
Nightmare spook, piece of heat,
It's you and me.
You and me.
Round and round, the cut of the plow in the furrowed field
Seasons round, the bushels of corn and the barley meal
Broken ground, open and beckoning to the spring
Black dirt live again
The plowman is broad as the back of the land he is sowing
As he dances the circular track of the plow ever knowing
That the work of his day measures more than the planting and growing
Let it grow, let it grow, greatly yield
Let it be known there is a fountain
That was not made by the hands of men
Seven faced marble eyed transitory dream doll,
Six proud walkers on the jingle bell rainbow,
Five men writing with fingers of gold,
Four men tracking down the great white sperm whale,
Three girls waiting in a foreign dominion
Riding in the whalebelly, fade away in moonlight, Sink beneath the waters to the coral sands below.
GD lyrics are so encapsulating of American life and the human condition. It's why I love all GD songs and only 15 phish songs.
What's to be found, racing around
You carry your pain wherever you go
Full of the blues and trying to lose
You ain't gonna learn what you don't want to know

A slow winter day, a night
A slow winter day, a night like forever
Sink like a stone, float like a feather
Flight of the seabirds, scattered like lost words
Wheel to the storm and fly.
You needn't gild the lily, offer jewels to the sunset
No one is watching or standing in your shoes

If mercy's a business, I wish it for you
More than just ashes when your dreams come true
The more that you give, the more it will take
To the thin line beyond which you really can't fake.
