about

This song is about moments that stick with you your whole life.
These ones are about my mom. This guitar solo destroyed me, one of my best.

lyrics

I remember as a boy
Driving with my mom
In her station wagon automobile
She had the windows down
and the radio on
She was singin'
And drumming the wheel
Then a song came on
She put the harmony on and said
"Matthew, that's my cousin Neil"
Then her face lit up
To see me smile at her smile
That's a memory that I still can feel

These pictures through the storm I carry
From the boathouse to the top of the hill
So many in the storm got buried
But I still dig them when I'm real still

I remember as boy my brother, sister and I
comin' home from 30 days at camp
I was playing alone It was good to be home
I had just started to unpack
Then my mom came in,
her face all red,
And sat beside me on the bed
She said "it's your turn to cry"
And I didn't know why
But I'd be moving out west with my Dad...

These pictures through the storm I carry
From the boathouse to the top of the hill
So many through the storm got buried
But I still dig them when I'm real still
I love you, I need you, and I know that I always will
I need to reveal you and I still feel you when I’m real still, real still
(Solo)
I remember as a boy
Driving with my mom
In her station wagon automobile...
