Reviving this old thread as well. It's true that the lyrics aren't "deep" per se but I think they're very relatable. Being "Let down easy" is still being let down.
Re: I Don't Want to Hear Any More
Are you all sitting down? I really do not like this song!! In fact, if it wasn't for Timothy singing it, I wouldn't listen to it. I'm still trying to figure out why it was put on the album and made it to the live shows at the beginning. According to Timothy himself, he brought several songs to the table for this album and they never made the cut. Wasn't there one of those songs, that Timothy, an Eagle, wrote that we could of put on the album instead of another Carrack song? And after Expando, I'm thinking this even more so. I tried to like it, and I think I might have even convinced myself I did, for awhile, but......
I just want to slap the guy and say, "Let her go already! Walk away! She doesn't want to be here and you need to MOVE ON!". :hilarious: But then I have to feel sorry for him also because "he's read this book before". Poor guy keeps getting dumped! :shrug:
Re: I Don't Want to Hear Any More
Interesting. While I share your sentiments, I thought it worked better live than I was expecting, and hence my opinion of it went up. It is still in my 3 least favourites (the others being GOTC & Fast Company) but when it annoys me, I think 'it's still so much better than LWKUA' which isn't much of a recommendation.
Re: I Don't Want to Hear Any More
I agree with FP in that my appreciation of the song increased dramatically when I heard it live. It wouldn't go down as one of my all-time favourite Eagles tracks, but I think it's a lovely song and I enjoy listening to it. I particularly love the way it builds just before the chorus when Tim sings "I know how this all ends".
Re: I Don't Want to Hear Any More
Reviving this ancient thread as a public service from your friendly neighborhood English professor.
In the context of the usage in this song...
ANY MORE is two words.
I Don't Want to Hear Any More
NOT Anymore
If you've messed up and used "anymore" in the past, don't feel bad. I think I have seen almost no one get this right in a review or setlist. Almost everyone uses "anymore." I think it was even wrong on a download label and on a setlist I grabbed off the stage. It reminds me of Fleetwood Mac's "Skies the Limit" which is actually wrong on the official album tracklist! (It should be "Sky's the Limit".)
And if you don't care about such things, feel free to disregard this post and just enjoy the other, more substantive comments on the song contained in this thread.
