------ About the song I'm on Standby performed by Grandaddy
Jason Lytle is one of the top-10 most gifted songwriters of the decade. Hat's off. If Grammy's meant anything, Grandaddy would have won at least two.
Thank god he'll still be releasing stuff under his name, 'Jason Lytle,' now that Grandaddy is through.

------ About the song I'm on Standby performed by Grandaddy
I've always thought this song was by Death Cab For Cutie :O.
I downloaded it on limewire.
This sucks cos it's always been one of my favorite Death Cab songs :'( ITS ALL A LIE!
I will still always love the song, I am just a bit crushed since Death Cab is one of my favorite bands :(
Sounds so much like them too, i had no idea.
Anyways, thumbs up for the song, love it.
The album came out about 98/99. The song is about mankind around the turn of the millenium. How computers were coming to dominate the world at that the time, in particular the rise or the internet, the song is asking mankind to hang on to it's humanity
The song is actually about being taken in your dreams and having to jump out of an aircraft with a parachute.
When you land, everyone greets you but, soon melancholia sets in as the demons {dead idiots} hassle you into killing yourself by wispering in your ear and torturing you at night!
2000 man refers to anyone who undergoes this!
David Icke ain't the only one who writes about this ya know!
I, personally, admire the chords throughout the song. That really makes it have quite a deep feel to it. Very nice. However, I would have liked a little more lyrics. Overall, one of Grandaddy's best.
Oh, and by the way, BM: 6^2 3^2 3^2 3^1 2^1 4^1 8^2 6^2.
2^3 6^3 6^2 8^1 2^1 2^3 8^1 6^1 3^2.

god awesome song for an awesome seen in an awesome movie in the super market and he throws his credit card down at the end! LOL!
I like your idea of the song how the 2000 Man is referring to the new era of America that has been established since 2000 but men makes more sense because he is referring to all the men, plural, instead of just referring to one man

Great scene with this great song (especially that catchy keyboard rif!) where the survivors are shopping in an abandoned foodmarket... such bliss!! (plus Brendan Gleason leaves his credit card on the counter... too cool!)
I'm pretty sure he's saying "man" not "men." It makes the song make a lot more sense if he is talking to someone he refers to as 2000 Man, perhaps in reference to all the things that have happened since the 2000 Presidential Election. He's welcoming the people back from their long slumber/incarceration in this nightmare of an era America has been through...but he does so cautiously saying, "I believe they want you to give in" and "don't give in 2000 man" now that you are back...just my thoughts.
This song sounds kind of retro or something. Its got a great sound. Grandaddy has alot of other songs like Hewlets Daughter and the Nature Anthem. I hope they make it big because they deserve it!

I heard it on Austin Texas KUT Public radio and first thing I thought was that everyone at my work would love this song because in the IT world you sometimes feel like the server you are always working on. Here’s to all the hours we IT professionals put in and to the day we can say “I’m on standby”
