I just walked outside our building to dump my trashcan in the dumpster. One of our employees has a jambox he listens to all day. As I walked by, this song was just beginning.
I realized something interesting. It is one of the only songs I have ever heard that became a hit where there is a lengthy guitar solo UP FRONT, even BEFORE the vocals begin.
I have always loved this song anyway. Everything about it is so fucking kickass! Even groovy harmony guitar solo at the end!
I bet recording this fucker was a really kickass experience!

Your everlasting summer
You can see it fading fast
So you grab a piece of something
That you think is gonna last
You wouldnt know a diamond
If you held it in your hand
The things you think are precious
I cant understand
Are you reelin' in the years
Stowin away the time
Are you gathering up the tears
Have you had enough of mine
You been tellin me you're a genius
Since you were seventeen
In all the time Ive known you
I still don't know what you mean
The weekend at the college
Didn't turn out like you planned
The things that pass for knowledge
I can't understand
Are you reelin' in the years
Stowin' away the time
Are you gathering up the tears
Have you had enough of mine
I spend a lot of money
And I spent a lot of time
The trip we made in Hollywood
Is etched upon my mind
After all the things we've done and seen
You find another man
The things you think are useless
I can't understand
Are you reelin' in the years
Stowin' away the time
Are you gathering up the tears
Have you had enough of mine
