Is there anyone better to tell it like it is than one's
kid? In January 2008, when Uncle Kracker began to write the
songs that appear on his new album Happy Hour, it was his
eight year-old daughter who suggested that he try writing
something a little less downbeat than usual. "She said to
me, 'I can't really dance to any of your songs,'" the
father of three says with a laugh. "Not that I needed to
make a dance record, but it dawned on me that I tend to
write a lot of acoustic ballads and mid-tempo type tunes.
And I thought, 'It's pretty bad when your own kids won't
listen to your records. Your own kids!' At the end of the
day, people want to have fun more than they want to cry. I
realized that it was time for something a little more
upbeat and positive and that's what I ended More...
Review about Uncle Kracker Not about drugs | Reviewer: Dangeriam
------ About the song Follow Me performed by Uncle Kracker
aight, seriously, this song is definately NOT about drugs. Its about a guy who is seeing this girl who is married. He tells her everything he would do for her, and knows he's the best for her. He tells her everything straight up, he's not going to give her money, and he's not going to give her everything under the sky. When he says "it will be alrigh if you don't ask me to stay" it could mean one of two things: A) once a cheater always a cheater...so in that sense if they did have a relationship, what's to keep her from cheating on him, especially if she did it for him. and the other is that things are better this way. they are fuck buddies for the most part. he's down for everything but a relationship.
Drugs to this? | Reviewer: Alice :D

Christopher-
I agree with George. This song is totally amazing and its only about drugs if you think about it that way. I've listened to this song since i was little. I sang it as a lullaby for babies a put asleep. In no way is this related to drugs unless you put it in that context. Well i guess ill go join the other naive people.
Drugs? | Reviewer: George

Christopher,
Call us what you want, but I personally think it would be naive to claim that songs about drugs aren't listened to by the masses. White Lines is a song by Grand Master Flash back in the 70's about cocaine, I still hear it today.
A decent portion of mainstream rap is about Drugs and listened to by a wide variety of people, so to claim that Uncle Kracker is disguising his song about drugs in the form of love with a woman is a little ridiculous.
I personally have to idea what Uncle Kracker was trying to say so I do not plan on making an assumption, but I just thought I would put my opinion forth so as to try to join the rest of the "stupid fucken naive Americans".

Drugs!!!
Dont know how you met me (addicts never really remember the first step they take toward being an addict)
Dont know why, you cant turn around and say goodbye (Addicts all know what they doing is stupid/bad/wrong but they cant leave it)
All you know is that when Im with you I make you free (they just know they like the feeling of drugs and that they think of nothing else when high)
Swim through your veins like a fish in the sea (obvious symbolism)
Everything is alright (Addicts favourite thoughts)
I'll be the one to tuck you in at night (pass out or die)
And if you want to leave I can guarantee you wont find nobody else like me. (nothing/nobody can make you feel like drugs do)
I dont care bout the ring you wear (2 meanings - 1. The ring to pump your veins. 2. Ring symbolic of marriage which in many married peoples lives is the most important thing/relationship to them... drugs dont care about that and will eventually become the most important thing/relationship.)
Cause as long as no one knows Then nobody can care (Emphasis on the CAN... Drug addicts dont want people to find out because then people show that they care by means of Rehab which ends the relationship with drugs)
It is obviously disguised as a relationship with a married woman because singing about drugs is taboo and isnt listened to by the masses!
Now go shoot up all you stupid fucken naive Americans!!!

this song is amazing! it reminds me of this strange relationship i have with a guy that was singing it to me the other day(weird i know). Because i like him, and everyone knows except him,it's kinda obvious. But he thinks that i just like this guy. So in a way im scared that he knows since the song is about someone thats cheating(the guy he thinks i like) and since he makes me happier than anyone ive ever known. yeah... weirds.

This is a really beautiful song, and it reminds me in a way of the strange relationship I have with someone right now. The song strikes me as very sad though... obviously the girl in the song is very much in love with him or she wouldn't risk her relationship with her husband to stay with him. He tells her that he'll spend time with her, and "tuck you in at night," and fake a loving relationship, but the very second she tries to get him to stay with her; tries to make sure she doesn't lose him, he'll leave her without a backward glance.

So, there was this girl who I loved from the first time I saw her, from high school. At the school dance, I got the nerve to ask her to dance and it was this song and she was like "Id love to." That was 5 years ago and now she is my baby momma. It was purfect.
Drugs, mann... | Reviewer: Keatos
------ About the song Follow Me performed by Uncle Kracker
Hm.
Well, the line "I'll swim through your veins like a fish in the sea" kinda of gives me the idea it's about drugs. And the ring could be a mark from the thing that helps cut off your circulation so you can give yourself the shot...
But whatever. I like this song a lot, no matter what it's about. :3

------ About the song Follow Me performed by Uncle Kracker
oh bullshit. He's singing about being a player. "I'm not worried 'bout the ring you wear, but as long as no one knows, then nobody can care". Wtf does that have to do with heroin? It's a song about pimpin' it, NOT snortin' it.

...but this song is about heroin. Now, if you are talking about a relationship with heroin, then you are right. It just bothered me that people were relating a song about heroin to their loved ones.

My favorite song by far. I was dating a much younger guy, and when this song played on the jutebox...we'd just look at each other, knowing the truth..this has been 5 years ago, he is much younger than me..but I know the feelings are still there, even though I left that town and him. I miss his voice and when I think of him, I always thing of Uncle Kracker too...You are the greatest!!!
