PART LIES, PART HEART, PART TRUTH, PART GARBAGE: WE ALL GO BACK TO WHERE WE BELONG

   This song does an amazing job of summing up almost every era of the band and shock and surprise, it's a 70's feeling easy listening song. There are traces of DOCUMENT, AFTP, REVEAL, RECKONING, I mean it really is a wonder of engineering and songwriting--riffs, backing vocals, orchestrations, horns--kind of a perfect summation of the band at this stage drawing upon everything they've learned. A very beautiful song as well with a Kirsten Dunst video to boot, pretty sure she cries in the video because they just told her they were breaking up. I love the second line 'your shirt and your reputation tossed.' I appreciate this one more every time I hear it.



WE ALL GO BACK TO WHERE WE BELONG

I dreamt what you were offering
Imagine lying next to me
Your shirt and your reputation tossed
I will write our story in my mind
And write about our dreams and triumphs
This might be my innocence lost

I can taste the ocean on your skin
That is where it all begins

I dreamt that we were elephants
Lift water, sun, and clouds of dust
And I woke up thinking we were free

I can taste the ocean on your skin
That is where it all begins
We all go back to where we belong
We all go back to where we belong

Is this really what you want?
Now is this really what you want?

I can taste the ocean on your skin
That is where it all begins
We all go back to where we belong
We all go back to where we belong

Is this really what you want?
Is this really what you want?

   A simple song, but elegant in its recording. Nothing flashy. Mostly picked chords. If the start of the verse looks intimidating its jest a hammering of the C chord before the pick and strum of the Fmaj7.
