I was bound to get here.
fIREHOSE, which grew out of the ashes of The Minutemen after d.boon's tragic death, was never a huge band commercially, but they made a lot of great music. This song, from their 3rd album fROMOHIO, was recorded in Ohio, which is where vocalist/guitarist Ed Crawford is from (the rest of the band is famously from San Pedro, California).
The song is something of a love song - a simple, sweet love song. You don't expect that out of fIREHOSE, who are usually all about the boom stick, but here we are.
The band, which helped to bust Mike Watt out a deep depression over the death of his best friend, never really broke up - they just went into mothballs at times while everyone was doing other stuff. In 2012, they toured and of course played this song.
Ed Crawford still looks like he's living his dream.
