Anybody know why SAF hasn't made on to any of the setlists? I know they can't play every song in the catalog, but I always looked at it as one of the more "popular" tunes in the "Melon Community". Is there something a little deeper with the track that the band doesn't want to reopen by playing it? Or with getting the new (excellent) material out, with a mix of so many classic songs it just doesn't make the list? Or, did I miss it and they have played it?

Good question. I live in the Detroit area and when they came to St. Andrews in March I was certain they'd play it. Unfortunately they didn't

I think we've asked Rogers about that and I'm pretty sure it's something they will play eventually. It wasn't one of the songs that they said they would never play so I'm sure we'll hear it one day.

8-)Completely agree. I'll never forget Shannon's performance of this song from the Metro in 95. The acoustic work is so frickin amazing. Been to two shows this year and they haven't played it yet.

maybe it's because Miles, the cello player, isn't along on the tour.

He didn't go into a lot of detail but said something like the song was dark and dealt with a real life tragedy so it was kind of a touchy song to play. I thought for sure they would play it...actually it is in my top ten favs as well!

The song was written after they saw a woman jump from a building in Detroit. blindmelon.org/songlist/standrewsfall.htmI really hope they play this song in the future! What about starting for the european tour? ;D

I knew it was inspired by a suicide, but didn't know the context of it. Thanks everyone.....

This is one of my fav melon songs. I was lucky enough to be sitten in a room with Shannon one late night when he was talking about this song. I think this song has alot of feelings attached to it. My fav. version of this song is when Brad sings towards the end. There is a vid of it on you tube. They where in a studio in Europe I think.

it sounds like... "Yesterday you shoulda seen the guilt, how it felt inside" I was listening to it w/ headphones on, and he seems to slur some words together..... I'm not sure of the words "Guilt" or "felt" they could be Girl, and Fell even... i dunno
