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"
