Always wanted to do this song, especially with this lyric snippet. I just think it's so beautiful, and I really love the way the words are arranged in the sentence.
Very emotional video of the piano part of Patrick’s medley (What a Fool Believes by the Doobie Brothers / Spotlight / What a Catch, Donnie / Golden) in Milwaukee, 4/2/2024, including his words about his dear friend Casey Benjamin.
I’ve Got All This Ringing in My Ears and None on My Fingers + What A Catch, Donnie IS SUCH A ME CODED MEDLEY. Just smash songs from my two favorite fob albums together I’m fine.
Alright i know that most people can’t listen to What a Catch, Donnie for multiple reasons cause its sad and shit
BUT
I tear up/get sad when i listen to Jet Pack Blues. Imagining Pete or Patrick’s wife missing them while they’re on tour enough to like beg them to come home is SO SAD AND I FEEL LIKE NO ONE RALKS ABOUT THAT SONG. Literally white knuckling when i listen to this song
I think he says "a bunch of years ago, I was feeling really down, by myself, (???), and I picked up some words of petes, that Pete had written, and I sat down at the piano and I wrote this song"
and before that, about playing spidey, "wild that they let me do that"
