Grandaddy - Elevate Myself ~~~~~~and that is what i want to talk about tonight
This was the on the last album that Grandaddy did Just Like the Fambly Cat and you can tell that they were over the song is great one of there best but its really sad if you think about how they almost made it. There is a lyrics in the song
"[Verse]
I don't wanna work all night and day
On writing songs that make the young girls cry
Or playing little solos on the keyboards
So the kids will ask me how and why
[Chorus]
I just wanna I just wanna I just wanna elevate myself
I just wanna I just wanna I just wanna elevate myself
And maybe for a little get to where
I find it really hard to hate myself
I just wanna I just wanna I just wanna elevate myself
[Verse]
I don't wanna stare at stacks of paper
All the while, while the world goes by
Trading out the weather for a clever lyric
Written by an Ikea light
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/g/grandaddy/elevate_myself.html ]
[Chorus]
I just wanna I just wanna I just wanna elevate myself
I just wanna I just wanna I just wanna elevate myself
And maybe for a little get to where
I find it really hard to hate myself
I just wanna I just wanna I just wanna get up off the shelf
And elvate myself
[Hook]
I don't wanna be apart
Of all the quality
That falls apart these days
I'd rather make an honest sound
And watch it fly around
And then be on my way
[Chorus]
I just wanna I just wanna I just wanna elevate myself
I just wanna I just wanna I just wanna elevate myself
And maybe for a little get to where
I find it really hard to hate myself
I just wanna I just wanna I just wanna I just wanna
I just wanna I just wanna I just wanna I just wanna
I just wanna I just wanna I just wanna elevate myself"
On writing songs that make the young girls cry
Or playing little solos on the keyboards
So the kids will ask me how and why
[Chorus]
I just wanna I just wanna I just wanna elevate myself
I just wanna I just wanna I just wanna elevate myself
And maybe for a little get to where
I find it really hard to hate myself
I just wanna I just wanna I just wanna elevate myself
[Verse]
I don't wanna stare at stacks of paper
All the while, while the world goes by
Trading out the weather for a clever lyric

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/g/grandaddy/elevate_myself.html ]
[Chorus]
I just wanna I just wanna I just wanna elevate myself
I just wanna I just wanna I just wanna elevate myself
And maybe for a little get to where
I find it really hard to hate myself
I just wanna I just wanna I just wanna get up off the shelf
And elvate myself
[Hook]
I don't wanna be apart
Of all the quality
That falls apart these days
I'd rather make an honest sound
And watch it fly around
And then be on my way
[Chorus]
I just wanna I just wanna I just wanna elevate myself
I just wanna I just wanna I just wanna elevate myself
And maybe for a little get to where
I find it really hard to hate myself
I just wanna I just wanna I just wanna I just wanna
I just wanna I just wanna I just wanna I just wanna
I just wanna I just wanna I just wanna elevate myself"
everything this song represented Jason Lytle when and did for himself, and with that I thank him! It's sad that they broke up but Jason was really the only one doing anything in the band so its hard when you have dead weight,
Lol this is the reason my band never took off everyone wanted K-rock to do all the work and I was the only one really doing any thing that helped him.
back to Grandaddy, or Jason after 11 years of doing this and not breaking into the mainstream (they should have the mainstream people are idiots) it can cause a person to get bitter. Luckily Jason is not a bitter man he dropped the dead weight and continued to wright great music he did two solo tours and has worked with plenty of other musicians and he has started a new band Admiral Radley.
Elevate myself is a great song the beet is happy and fun but a closer look really bums me out lol anyway go buy it support a real musician and enjoy yourself
I'm really went off on a tangent but I need to call my buddy K-Rock and apologize to him..... this song really moves me.
