When musicologists add this year's chapter to the history of rock, they'll talk about the proliferation of rock-rappers, pre-packaged boytoys, and scantily-clad teen nymphs. Thanks to Fastball, however, 2000 will actually end on a high note. The Harsh Light of Day picks up where 1998's platinum-plus All the Pain Money Can Buy left off. It's an intoxicating album with a depth and emotional range that broadens with each listen. With Miles Zuniga and Tony Scalzo evenly dividing songwriting and lead vocal duties, and drummer Joey Shuffield supplying the laser-guided groove, Fastball's 1998 breakthrough All The Pain Money Can Buy propelled the group into the big leagues. Led by the smash singles "The Way" and "Out of My Head," the album notched platinum-plus sales a More... (Submit New Fastball Lyrics) (Submit New Fastball Lyrics) Review about Fastball Interpretation of song | Reviewer: Ann ------ About the song The Way performed by Fastball When I hear this song and read the lyrics it reminds me of my mentally disturbed husband who wants a way out of being a father and husband, and just wants to ride his motorcycle off and away without ever coming back. He sees his children waking up and finding him gone wondering where he went. He has no more responsibilities or anything. Not only has he been mentally sick, an alcoholic, smoker, former drug addict, with other addictions now, including whoring around, he cannot face his midlife years like a man, and now takes everything in life out on his wife and family because his mother disowned him and his brother and disinherited him in favor of convicted felon and a dog groomer....that's what I get out of this song. It's no wonder he loves it so much. Pray for me. Huh. | Reviewer: Adele Waverly ------ About the song The Way performed by Fastball I never actually saw this song as being about a couple. I never knew the backstory, but that doesn't really change things for me. Whenever I listen to this song, I think of a bunch of mafia-style guys in expensive, suave, black suits, fedoras, and sunglasses, sitting in a dimly-lit warehouse room around a little round wooden table. They're all just talking, and then they come to a decision and stand up. They head out in suave black cars onto a long, straight desert road with stone paving. The sun comes up, their cars stall, all the men get out, still in their expensive suits, and they all walk down the road towards the sun. The sunlight on the cobblestones turns them gold. Cool? Or am I just weird? The way.. | Reviewer: Mike M. ------ About the song The Way performed by Fastball Highway represents escaping this system of chaos we created for ourselves. In the system we desire, money, wealth and prestige only to find it all meaningless in the end.. But the couple found wandering free they never got old.. Because each day of their new wandering freedom outside the system was always happy.. They felt eternally young and happy.. And escaping the desires for material wealth they found the highway (escape from it all) to be the real thing of TRUE VALUE. The children represents the new mind jumping in the car again to ride in the system. Not really knowing the way (not wanting to listen to the parents like all young do - they keep driving in the care until they see the escape (the highway) definitely is the true value in life. Because escaping makes one feel truly free and each day no more worries.. Life is experienced .. The highway is living life and understanding life outside the capitalist material ridden society. The Way/ Facts or Rumers? | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song The Way performed by Fastball So as I recall hearing- that elderly couple were both suffering from psyco/degenerative problems(Alzheimers) They took off in the night(the ol girl called her daughter wonderin why it was 10 in the morning and the sun hadn't come up yet) The ol girl who would be the driver and her hubby both got in the car headid for their morning coffee at the gas station/cafe out on IH35 and proceeded North on IH35 staying ahead of authorities through various counties and states who,at the wishes of the ol flks children, were simply trying to apprehend the couple who apparently didn't have a clue as to where they were going...they were found at the bottom of a canyon in (Arkansas?)and the crash killed the ol man instantly but the ol girl had actually walked away from the crash and died nearby the wreck.......anyhow thas what I remember from the articles in the paper at that time...Rich Cross/ Hollywood Indians The Way-Fantastic | Reviewer: kathy ------ About the song The Way performed by Fastball I love this song. It is very well sung, It has been running through my head for days now.I always see this old couple just taking off and going where ever, spend the rest of the life they have really enjoying it. Not wasting a moment. i love this song so much | Reviewer: tia ------ About the song The Way performed by Fastball this song came out when i was 5 and i still ove it i know the lyrics and whoever thinks it is a crappy song should learn to get some music tastes because this is some of the best music from the late 90's awesome tune love the beat and the way the guy sings in the song yes its about a old couple going away but the song is awesome it has so many meanings Too Much Inflation, Not Enough Social Security | Reviewer: Beth ------ About the song The Way performed by Fastball I envision an elderly couple who had had enough peanut butter sandwiches and cold January days. They took a bottle of wine to their trusty Buick in the old garage and fired up the engine with the doors and windows closed. They talked about the old times, how much they loved each other, and fell asleep, holding hands. Their kids, who had been too busy to take care of the old folks, beat themselves up...but they could have probably kept it from happening if they hadn't been so busy. Oh well, that's just how I interpret it... romeo and juliet | Reviewer: ashley ------ About the song The Way performed by Fastball i dont really care what the song is really truly about, but i think it sounds like a romeo and juliet kind of tale. a young couple ran off together and ended up either dying in an accident or committing suicide together. Hey. | Reviewer: Kelsey ------ About the song The Way performed by Fastball It could still be about old people, because if they're old and grey, when they die, they'll go back to being youthful and they'll never go old and gray again. Think deeper before you argue what has already been set in stone. Great song | Reviewer: Jacques Coelho ------ About the song The Way performed by Fastball This song is just awesome. This is just what rock'n'roll is all about. Great lyrics, great beat. The whole thing has a kind of "British Invasion" feeling. The story behind it is a little sinister but is a song that you can't only hear once. I would like to shake the hand of the man who wrote it. "Hats off" well | Reviewer: st33v ------ About the song The Way performed by Fastball i would say the song is about young adults, not citing wikipedia. It is at least plausible. Young adults tend to lack the feeling of responsibility that those older than them feel. As for abandoning children I must believe that these children are themselves, the children they used to be. Simply beautifully written, especially for where this song fits into its time period and genre. Old people it is. | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song The Way performed by Fastball This song is about an elderly couple who took off one morning, where they were heading I do not know, but the band later had a lawsuit brought against them for the song being based on real life events. What the outcome was I do not know. Beautiful Song | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song She's So High Above Me performed by Fastball excuse me, girls love romantic stuff. not all of us want the idiotic muscular football jock. some of us are a hell of a lot deeper than that, and truthfully, woman and men are equal. as in both the same. it's just that the man singing the song is so in love that he pictures her as too good for him. some guys do have feelings, you know. unsure is the only sure thing in life | Reviewer: joe from joe's place kuta-bali ------ About the song Out Of My Head performed by Fastball i like and really stick in my mind about vthis song.if you read in the line,the writer so simply wrote there if the life is unsure.and sometimes in life people understand wrong with what you mean.so the writer just let the time and let the world answer all the question because he almost give up to explain what is in his mind. simple,strong,pure and true.the song write by his feeling that time not with his head.......so.....sometimes he said that life uncontrol and possibility is open.....and then......for me life is........UP TO YOU....CAN BE GREAT,CAN BE BAD,CAN BE ......SOMUCH........... Dear Jack | Reviewer: Tony ------ About the song Out Of My Head performed by Fastball Jack, Fastball came out back in the 90's, and this song is from that era. I don't recall the name of the CD, but I remember it having a wheat penny printed on it. They had two singles from this CD that did very well: "Out of My Head" and "The Way". I'm sure at some point you've heard "The Way", simply because it was a very popular song when it debuted. They're both excellent songs, and if I may, I would suggest buying the CD and listening to it all, if not for the music then simply for the lyrics. i also read an article about this song | Reviewer: anonymous 2 ------ About the song The Way performed by Fastball This song IS about an elderly couple who went missing. Rather than stating your own wrong opinion why don't you just look it up? You'll see that I'm right. And I quote " Fastball bassist Tony Scalzo came up with the idea for the song after reading journalistic articles which described the disappearance of an older married couple who left home in June of 1997 to attend a family reunion but never arrived. About the song Scalzo said that " It's a romanticized take on what happened" - he pictured them taking off to have fun, like they did when they first met." end quote(from wikipedia) It IS About Old People. | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song The Way performed by Fastball Seriously, do some research before spouting of your own assumptions. Tony Scalzo wrote the song after reading a news article about an elderly couple who had disappeared in Texas. He imagined they were ran off on their own romantic trip. Later the real couple was found at the bottom of a canyon. Their RV had veered off the road killing them. sad :( | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song The Way performed by Fastball this is a beautiful that always makesme sad but i long to listen to it.i believe its about young people who jut gave up on life and up and left, leaving everything behind...it sounds like a happy song but its really a sad sad song.anyway, its simply beautiful.. The Way | Reviewer: Kellie ------ About the song The Way performed by Fastball I know exactly what this song means. As the song goes, a young couple were having a stressful life, full of problems and they just couldn't take it anymore, so they packed up and left. Unfortunately they got in a car accident and died. 'Anyone can see the road that they walk on is paved in gold'. Talking about Heaven. And how in Heaven you never get hungry or old. =[ It's sad. Creepy Fact | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song The Way performed by Fastball Tony Scalzo wrote the song after reading a news article about an elderly couple who had disappeared in Texas. He imagined they were ran off on their own romantic trip. Later the real couple was found at the bottom of a canyon. Their RV had veered off the road killing them.
