There is something about the tone of Mr Westerberg's voice. It sounds so genuine and real, not trying to sound like other vocalists the way that most singers do.
Maybe Paul is just actually willing to admit it. When I play music from a few years ago, lyrics can be a tricky problem with my memory. It happens, sadly :/
The rough, naked rawness in his voice just heaps on an extra helping of emotion. I love his honest, unafraid, and "I don't give a shit" attitude in his music. Sort of like an american Keith Richards.
i completely forgot about achin' to be, too. such a great song. and also, recently, remembered how 'waitress in the sky' is great (never forgot, really). but it makes much more sense now since my ex is about to become a 'real flight attendant, my oh my'.
When these AOL sessions first came out I didn't like 'em for some reason. Now I find myself watching them over and over, he is such an incredible artist who can do no wrong in my book.

He’s the real deal
One of the often overlooked GREAT vocalists
never seen an artist that forgets more of his own work than Westerberg
You should check this guy out, his name is Bob Dylan and he uses a teleprompter at his gigs. Kinda under the radar but maybe you'll like him.
It's from all the alcohol it's pickled his brain

I think he's always been that way though. Probably just the way he was born
wysoft he has tons of material. You try remembering books, word for word

This always song reminds me of my daughter, and it kills me...
I like the imperfections of PW and the Replacements. I like human flaws.
Paul Westerberg is god. Brilliant
Love his music. It's so beautiful and relatable.
You can make sure your kids hear this music. You can be damn sure mine will!!
i love this more than anything
Westie is the perfect artist for the aching heart and the love scorched soul. I wish i had a pair of his socks.-LA
still lmao

I loved this album in highschool! Love this song. So glad he is still around and still sounding great.Warms my heart.
What album? Is this a Replacements song maybe? I have Paul’s solo stuff but not much replacements
what a fucken good song. aw man
Beautiful tune and lyrics 😊❤️🎶😊❤️🎶Love this song in any version
Hermosa cancion :)
As reluctant as ever it's genial (one of the best ever to tell about growing older)
Achin to be is a godly tune.
All I can say is ... beautiful.
this made my Friday the 13th all the more worth while
Thank you sir.
I hit like before the 1st chord was strummed.
Yes Westerberg is a genius I agree

the yee-hooo's the best bit!
💜💚
Long live the Mats!
Yep, memories
Gonna refer my notes 😂 i love you paul
He is a genius! I think he has major ADD though. He can never remember his words :)
He's very very good for fux's sake :-)
...just like me...
Like this guy but is that guitar work completely live?
Sounds like it...
and now the all important last bit... I have to refer to my notes.
Its about a movie star...
File Under: Where is he now?
another Paul....
12 string EQ'd a bit jangly. MMM is right.
His worst song would be considered the best song you have ever written! Boo ya
k bunny
Fantastic song...hate to say but a sloppy performance that looks like he has "forgotten completely."
Paul went from writing great songs like Valentine to this dribble.
