Rusted Root Neologisms

South Bend catching the Root Wave right at its peak

Glabicki then put forth an eloquent denunciation of "fracking," the controversial practice of mining fossil fuels through hydraulic fracturing: "What extracting industries don't understand is that this practice lacks ehbubadeesaybubadeeyon. We're consulting with the prominent environmental engineering firm Ombayseeyou, LLC, which has conclusively demonstrated a viable path to sustainable seemoobadeeyah in a recent white paper."

"Namaste," he added, before disappearing in a patchouli-scented cloud into a doorway guarded by a mysterious native gentleman.

Every time this dumb thread gets bumped, that song gets permalodged in my brain for a good couple of days at least. I guess that's what they call reaping what you seemoobadeeyah.

Here, this will cleanse you:

YouTube is not so disrespectful to Röötness as to try to define the spirit of ommaway in mere captions.

There are a lot of competing theories about exactly what sparked the chaos at Woodstock '99 but for me the explanation has always been clear as day

just finished watching MATILDA (1996) with my daughter and was frankly dismayed to hear this over the triumphant closing montage ffs

It’s in an earlier scene, as well (encountered it the same way recently, and naturally thought of this thread!)

ffs

I wonder who has recently said “Lately I’ve really been getting into Rusted Root.” Someone has.

bg's daughter, one certainly hopes

I was at the trampoline park for my kid's 9th birthday and the music was a pretty much equal mix of modern country, hip-hop, and pop music of the type that I hear on the radio but have zero knowledge of except for "Send me on my Way" right in the middle of it all.

I can't believe I missed this thread. This fucking song. It was EVERYWHERE at the hippie trustifarian-filled college I went to for a couple of years. When I hear it, I'm instantly 17 yo in a sticky-floored bar buying well-drinks and dodging frat boys. This is bad not good. Still, much like Hook by Blues Traveler, it's catchy AF and reminds me of simpler, if harrowing in their own way, times.

Welcome, ENBB. Your observations about the song and the times are accurate and relatable. But the fact remains that this is one of ilx's most epic threads, and every time I think about it, it sends me ommaway.

(Insert pennywhistle solo here, while I go get my djembe.)

I've inserted my pennywhistle, now what

Oh I see what you meant (carefully retrieves pennywhisle)

Am I insane if I don’t dislike this song?

The trick is to just keep listening to the Root until you go from SIMMYOMMAWAY to FULLYOMMAWAY.

so pat monahan spent a couple of years post divorce just wandering the desert eating mushrooms and listening to putumayo compilations on his ipod and it gave him a whole new perspective on music and life and love and stuff which has very much informed train's "new direction". he says it will be his most personal album but also says it will be "for everyone"
