Lyrics:
Let's take a ride to the seaside
We can go out swimming in the high tide
Just wear your shorts and your long hair
Don't forget the lawn chair
Everybody's gone to the movies
Everybody's gone and its groovy
They went to the one about the big war
I didn't, I'd seen it before
I guess I'm taking my chances
Giving up the ring throwing in the gloves
I guess I'm taking my chances
Trading in my things
A couple wings on a little white dove
And one big love, one big love
Everybody do like a Monkey
If you want to go on and be funky
No need to talk like a hero
Talk a walk count down to zero
No sense defending your honor
Just go on and kiss him if you wanna
Everything before is gone or is going somewhere
I guess I'm taking my chances
Giving up the ring throwing in the gloves
I guess I'm taking my chances
Trading in my things for a couple wings on a
Little white dove
And one big love one big love
I don't know where we are
And I don't care
And now we're out of gas
And riding on air
And one big love, one big love
I was working at a " Roadhouse" restaurant that had this song in the juke box. I found out who sung it and actually went out to buy the CD. Such a great song.
I did the same exact thing. The rest of the record is amazing as well.
Great lyrics
My soul has a love affair with Patty's voice and messages....
I first heard this summer 2023 and wondered how it was possible I'd never heard it before. Can't stop playing it. Spectacular vocals. Love the arrangement, especially how everything overlays that almost discordant clunky acoustic bottom. Great Song.
i downloaded it on napster in 2001! glad it’s still being heard!
Such a wonderful, quirky song. I always play this at least 2-3 times when I hear it. The vocals and acoustics are heavenly.
Yes this saved me in what 1999? And again now. Can't stop
I wished Patty had given us more LP's like this one vs the folksy type music she has morphed to. I have almost all her CD's and they are great, but none measure up to the greatness of this one....driving rock vocals, great band backing her. I would love to see Flaming Red Vol 2
Born right here in Maine !
Old Town gal!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ who's singing this one with the longtime Patty thank you you and Shawn Colvin run the stage with me at eTown live. Fun show. It was great to see you back at the theater. I'm still singing this one. Love love love. This one means something very sentimental❤ someone who's no longer with us loud and clear. Still singing
DIgging to China final amazing soundtrack!
She grew up 5 houses up the street from me in Old Town, ME!
Very distinctive voice.....love the song!
This woman is awesome. Got to see her while in Santa Cruz, Ca. Epic. I was so nervous as I don't do concert.. but this was like 200 people. One of the few songs I have to sing along with .
What a joy to listen to.
Nicely arranged, intelligent lyrics. Great song. Thank you Patty and the band.
My favourite song ♥
Road tripping to this.
This whole album is wonderful and my fav Patty album actually, she is so awesome :)
love this song
I love that Im one of the few in my circle of friends who knows this song!
I got a copy of this song in the summer of 1998. They gave out a sampler CD of artists on the various bills for Lilith Fair when you attended. I had this track on that CD spinning constantly from then on.
Such a great voice, such a good writer.
She’s awesome!!! 😎
I don't know about you but I'd go for a swim in the high tide with Patty Griffin anytime.
I remember first hearing this song at 15 Watching digging to China
Fantastic
Such a great tune!
It's on Emmylou's Red Dirt Girl; where I first heard it. I love both versions.
So groovy
Love it!
この歌大好き
patty, thank you for this
Digging to China movie 1998
Such a cool song. Can't believe there are only 132 views and no comments.
it's because her engineer and producer suck. this could have been a big hit
everybody run 'til you're flying
touch the sky without even trying
everybody *swinging* from a big star
everybody riding in a **** car
don't know if it's swinging and don't know what kind of car, but this is my favorite verse
They play this at my work and it makes me want to rip my hair out
Back when this song came out I bought the CD and played it until the laser had burned it smooth
This song is so good its just too short ik keep pressing re-play. I guess i'm taking my chances....One BIG love...wohahoa...be funky 🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼
cannot like hard enough
Ideal
Why do I feel like Ringo Starr's unique drumming style would've worked with this song?
Very Beatlesque tune. The snare sound is almost identical to Ringo's snare on Yellow Submarine. Very distinctive. I wonder if they sampled his snare for this tune?
Rip
Digging to china
Same 😂
Saw her in concert. She didn’t sing this song
I can't play this..its blocked in my country? ???
try this ,, good luck,, great song...ua-cam.com/video/XLUqsCg92Mk/v-deo.html
Are you from China Timmy?
When Patty said, "no defense defending your hon-ah", her Mainah accent slipped. Ayuh.
sense*
Guys. This song has some of the most terrible lyrics I’ve ever heard. In consecutive couplets, she rhymes “funky/monkey” and “hero/zero.” And these are just the most egregious examples.
egregiously clueless
@@winritzert3310 I wouldn't go so far as to call *her* egregiously clueless-that's going too far bro!-but I stand by my assertion that the rhyming couplets in this song are egregious and also ghastly.
Lol
@@actualair Ghastly? Hahaha. Is that the "big" word you learned today. Your application of it is odd. Me thinks you're not the intellectual powerhouse you believe yourself to be.
Sometimes we can live without a spoon fed perfectly written song. Besides , this song with the quirky lyrics works. Any song that makes you sing along is a good song.
Great song. Horrible mix
Patty deserves better.
She needs a different mic for the vocal--whoever records and producers her should be fired. So tinny.
Doesnt sound tinny to me. Maybe your headphones suck.
I think something happened on this download. My CD version sounds better than this one. I noticed immediately the difference when it began playing. And it seems a step slower than the CD version.
