I believe it's from the Economy of Sound sessions.

Trees, for me the appeal has nothing to do with the literal meaning of the words to the song. The intro before Jason starts to sing just kicks and how he screams Margareeeheeheet. It's a favorite in my mp3 player while working out or running. Funny, you mentioned that men seem to like it, my wife and niece love it. My niece, who is 16, is all about the lyrics and their meaning. At 16 she's way deeper than I am. It's just a cool song to me that's all. But, on the other hand if you do think about the 50+ year difference in the first verse, it is kind of creepy.

I've never really taken the 20,000 days thing literally...i've always seen it as more of an exaggeration.

I can't let this thread die and I would kick myself if I didn't put in some (almost all) rarities/b-sides requests before the big shows. So here goes, I would love to have them break out some of these: Kater A Little Hard, A Little Late Ring This is how the Record Goes Out The New Blues A Way to Compete Wrecking Wall?? You Don't Say Take it Underground (Shiny Shirt) Angeline Path You're On**** Play Your Games Truck Drivin Citizens & whatever else we do not know of . . . yet, I cannot wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
