I'm amazed at a quiet ocean
I'm amazed at your warm devotion
I'm amazed at what the people sayin'
I'm amazed by a divided nation

Like the rhythm of the earth, I get disrupted

I'm amazed at all that has been
I'm amazed at all that will be
I'm amazed at the tv stations
I'm amazed what they want me to believe

After all is said and done- where is the justice?

I'm amazed, the lack of evolution
I'm amazed at the lack of faith
I'm amazed at the love we're rejecting
I'm amazed what we accept in its place

Like the rhythm of the earth
And the rhythm of the ages
Like the rhythm, I get disrupted

I'm amazed
I'm amazed
Ah
Ah

Had a right laugh at myself. BHO wasn't making sense to me, so I googled it and came up with Butane Hash Oil (I did get the proper context meaning later on!)
Now, that I would like to see...

Yeah, but that's not quite accurate.  Elected, yes, but also installed and hired by those who got to vote with oodles of dark money. Not quite the same. Let's not make the mistake again, or we'll be truly amazed, and not at all in a good way.

I'm surprised they used a recording studio for this song rather than the bathtub microphone setup they usually employ.

I dig this tune...  Kind of hear TYA influence in it.  (that would be Ten Years After)

I've been a rather severe critic of their recorded work from the beginning, but this one is very, very good. Reconsidering—which is what you want, yes?

From their Wikipedia entry:

"James said the band's moniker comes from the letters "MMJ" embroidered on a discarded coat he once saw."

This would be fun to hear with The Real Tuesday Weld's "I Believe" - Kind of a similar rhythm.

Doesn't hurt anything that they're from Louisville, Kentucky (my home state), either. Rock on, y'all! {#Wave}

WXRT in Chicago has been playing this at least two times a day for the past 6 months. I used to love it and am now sick of it.

Posted 16 years ago by chyk5    [ Reply ]
Yeah.. This gets an overwhelming "meh" from me too..  I liked the other MMJ I heard yesterday (from the same, new release) though!

*I'm amazed* they dropped the reverb! They used to love that shit.

This is actually getting air play on the Radio in Atlanta... I was amazed!

I have to admit it has started to grow on me a bit.  I hear that right now they are one of the best bands to see live.
