a sleepless night, turning on some augustana, listening to their great music, half awake half asleep. so much goes through your head right now, stuff you thought of as important becomes irrelevant as the greatest band delivers so much emotions through your headphones right into your mind, your soul, and eventually you fall asleep, feeling solace coming over you. your life is okay, even though you often feel it isn't. you find peace. Thank you, Dan Layus.
Okay I started crying when he said 'dont follow your daddy's bad ways' or along those lines. Dan Layus's mother was divorced several times, and he now calls a small handful of men his father. He vowed when he married his wife (after finding out she was pregnant) to never be like that to his child. I just aaaaaaaaa
I was the one shouting for him to play it at the end of the show (at the Urban Lounge). He probably hasn't played it in forever, so that's why he didn't.
This is amazing but is extremely depressing at the same time. I felt tears building up when he sang about "his wife and child being shot twice." Very, very emotional and powerful.
I actually saw him perform this song live years ago and I remember he introduced it saying he wrote it to put into words how he'd be feeling if something happened to them
He says "Cerrillos", New Mexico I think. It is a small town in New Mexico population 229. The reason he pronounces that way is because he says it in Spanish. It's really called Los Cerrillos which translates to Small Hills.
He may be saying Sirius (pronounced Sir-ee-ohhs). There is a place called Sirius Gulch in New Mexico. That's the only place I could find that sounds like what he's saying.

This is one of the most underrated songs ever, I have no doubt about it.
I was lucky enough to see him preform this live. The crowd was enthralled. Amazing.

I get the feeling he listened to 'Nebraska' before writing this song.

It is Sirius Gulch. He says 'New Mexico' after it (:
