About This Quote
“A peace that blacked yer eye,' I say. 'A peace that split yer lip.' He looks at me for another second and then gives a sad snort. “The words of a sage,†he says, “in the voice of a hick.” Tom Waits said it best: “There’s nothing scientific about it. It’s all tangled up in history, and you can’t explain it scientifically.
There has to be more to it than that. You can’t explain it with math or science or anything like that. It just is what it is.
And there is no explanation for it, really. It just is what it is and that’s all there is to it. You just don’t know why and you really don’t know how and you don’t know who and you don’t know where and you don’t know when and you sure as hell don’t know how.
But you feel something when people come together, and sometimes it makes sense, sometimes it doesn’t make any sense at all but it feels good anyway so what the hell, why not? As they say in my time: ‘Why not? Why not? Why not? Why not?' What the hell. Why not? And I feel this thing when I write songs about people coming together, because I came from a broken home long ago long ago long ago long ago long ago long ago long ago long ago far far far far away from here where we are now where we are now where we are now here here here here here here here here where we are now up up up up up up uppppp uppppp uppppp u
