I had the privilege to hear and see this man open for Jackson Brown Cal Expo amphitheater Circa 1985-86. He played maybe an hour and a half just an acoustic guitar a stool and a mic. He didn't dance or do anything fancy blew me away. The headliner came out in comparison I was disappointed after hearing this man. Nobody wanted him to stop . I will never forget his performance I wish at the time I had caught his name. All these years I could have been enjoying his work. Thank you Peter case!
Little off-topic, but does anyone else think those strings on his guitar are a really really heavy gauge? Must be h3ll on your fingers until you get used to fretting them. Anyway, I remember seeing him a few times fronting The Plimsouls (great band, especially live). They dissolved then Peter re-appeared a year later doing folk music with really introspective lyrics (self-titled debut and The 'Blue Guitar' albums) like this. Great to know he's still around and doing what he does best, writing great songs.
I don't think they're heavier than medium gauge, there's no need to go heavier. Personally if I used heavy gauge it would be to keep the guitar tuned down a full step.
I see it a little less random. It's life and politics.. Haven't you grown up, and learned a few things on the way? Learned to recognize the lies put right in front of your face? Now your ghost is gone, so you are now finally seeing things for what they are.. Or alternatively you haven't grown up and you still believe whatever the news on the TV tells you... This song is about getting over that stage, and getting back to one's roots, to return to worrying about your immediate surroundings only.
He was asking an innocent question as I read it. You on the otherhand seem to have been waiting to jump down someone's neck. Go and lie down or something.
It's how it feels (for me anyways) to think about decades of life lived, of the signal and the noise, the fretting and the politics, the everyday small things that somehow have assumed greater significance as time goes by. A song about what remains, when so much is lost and gone. One's heart and mind is like an attic with diamonds in the dust motes, when the sun hits.
I've wondered that too, he talks about the roar of the jets over the park and then in the next line he mentions "ground zero". I wonder if he's talking about the 9/11 attacks
Peter Case is an absolute genius.
What can you say? His songs make our lives so much better....

This song is beautiful. Does anyone know the story behind the lyrics? Seems like random remembrances of his life.

Does anybody happen to know the tuning in this song? I can't seem to figure it out and I really want to learn this one!
Nevermind, got it. CGCECE capo 4.
thanks!
This tuning is new to me. Is it tuned to what you say when the strings are open, then capo 4th fret?
@@ashleyorr1 Open means that the guitar would be playing a major chord (in this case C major) or minor chord (such as say an Open A Minor tuning).
Anyone know what tuning this is??
Open C Major (CGCECE). Capo 4.
Excellent song.
