    Just wonderful. This song means so much to me, so many of their songs do...

    I'm thoroughly shocked that this video doesn't have more comments.
    I just love how the audience sings this song so happily. Despite the fact that it's about contemplating suicide. Like, John gives us this song, this part of himself, and the audience takes this piece of him and accepts it so happily.

      @@iwatchlostallthetime That’s how I interpret it. Popping pills and then downing bourbon then saying the words, “down there in the dark I can see the real truth about me, As clear as day. Lord, if I make it through tonight, I will mend my ways and walk the straight path till the end of my days.” I’m not sure if John has confirmed that to be the meaning but that seems to be the general interpretation.

      @@iwatchlostallthetime nvm, I realized he was saying, “Bartles and Jaymes” and not “bottles of James (shortened to Jim, as in Beam).” Still though

    I checked into a bargain-priced room on La Cienega
    Gazed out through the curtains at the parking lot
    Walked down to the corner store just before nightfall in my barefeet
    Black tarry asphalt soft and hot
    And when I came back I spread out my supplies
    On the counter by the sink looked myself right in the eyes
    St. Joseph's baby Aspirin
    Bartles and Jaymes
    And you
    Or your memory
    I ducked behind the drapes when I saw the Moon begin to rise
    Gathered in my loose ends, switched on the lights
    And down there in the dark I could see the real truth about me
    As clear as day, Lord if I make it through tonight
    Then I will mend my ways
    And walk the straight path to the end of my days
    St. Joseph's baby Aspirin
    Bartles and Jaymes
    And you
    You or your memory
