about

This tune is about an exhibit at the Met. Pryce went and saw all these famous guitars and instruments and pants. Again, the references are all very literal. Talkbox solo!

lyrics

So close I can almost feel you there
Almost, It’s hanging in the air

These things are right outside inside my mind
Rewind, replay and remind

There you are in a glass case
There you are right in front of my face
Mellotron and a tape delay
These were the things you’d actually play

To get so close you can feel it
Tiger and wolf, I am near it
Those logs are the real thing
Even in the silence the memories ring

They played my favorite songs
I always play along
I can do the things I do
All because of you

Oh so close, it's a fucked-up Frankenstrat
I can finger tap all because of that
My first guitar was a Washburn painted white
Because of what Jimi played that night

Ringo taught me to count to four
I have the same pedals as Tom Morello on the floor
Whammy pedal and Page’s fire pants
Taught me to play, to sing, to jam, and dance

Encased in glass are these legend tools
Relic'd necks and onboard effects loops
Amassed right here for all to look upon
