I hear a voice that fights the wind, the rain that keeps fallin'
And I feel a river rushin' in between you and me
And you keep on lookin' for something that's not lost
And I wish that somehow I could carry you across

Why don't you rest your worries darling one, sweetheart?
Why don't you rest your worries darling one, sweetheart? Sweetheart

When they told you that the great parade had long since passed
I saw you waiting there for the good times to come back
I'm feelin' blue 'cause there's so much to live up to
And I wish that somehow I could give it all to you

Why don't you rest your worries darling one, sweetheart?
Why don't you rest your worries darling one, sweetheart? Sweetheart

I'm feelin' blue 'cause there's so much to live up to
And I wish that somehow I could give it all to you

Why don't you rest your worries darling one, sweetheart?
Why don't you rest your worries darling one, sweetheart?
Why don't you rest your worries darling one, sweetheart?
Why don't you rest your worries darling one, sweetheart? Sweetheart

I met them in the early 90’s while living in CA. I was walking to a coffee shop & they were also walking along the same path. Awesome!

I thought it was Cake. I wasn't that mistaken since a Cracker is just a little cake ;-)

(kind of like Cure/Placebo ?)

Agreed.
Any rating below 8 would indicate a genuine lack of good taste in music.

Cracker.

The songs creep up on you after a while.   Seems I like most of what Cracker does per RP streams.

I'm pushing 60 and I've had my string of "favorite bands" over the years.  Kind of like Billboard's pop chart, a song goes to number #1, how long it stays there is anybody's guess.  Well, after seeing them live about ten years ago, Cracker nabbed my favorite band slot and it's still there. Will they ever be dethroned?  Kinda hope not.

I don't always like Cracker but tonight I do. I'm sure it's because of how they were placed in this set. BillG does a nice mix.

Always good to hear a Cracker tune with a buzz on! David's voice rocks. Johnny still loves to grunge it up, and I love the way he plays!

And that´s the main reason I don´t like it. Had to scroll down (a lot) to see if the similarity had been noticed before.

I just wanted to say that I hope you're paying Mr Cracker for streaming this song. He has been very vocal about how Spotify, Pandora etc are all making a fortune and how he's only getting fractional pennies, or something, for thousands of plays.

I normally love Cracker, but this sounds like they're slogging through a first tryout of a new song. And did they borrow the singer from Cake? Apologies Stingray but this is a 5.

I have always been a fan of all incarnations of this dude starting way back in the Camper Van Beethoven days, but I am not particularly fond of this album. However, I do like this song. 7

Great band. I admire the variety in the songwriting. They have a "sound" (think Eagles—haters ignore this), but produce songs that are as intelligent as they are fresh.

What?? The Hives?? I like the Hives a lot but Cracker doesn't sound anything like them.
 
Uhm, would you believe a slower-tempo, less thrashy, less distorted Hives?

You're right, I went and listened to Veni Vidi Vicious again and really the only similarity is, possibly, on "Hate To Say I Told You So."

Sorry you feel this way. I know the singing leaves something to be desired, but the song writing, guitar and overall instrumental arrangements are awesome.

Bill please play St. Cajetan (sp?) from the eponymous album  — I defy anyone not to like Cracker then!
