When musicologists add this year's chapter to the history
of rock, they'll talk about the proliferation of
rock-rappers, pre-packaged boytoys, and scantily-clad teen
nymphs. Thanks to Fastball, however, 2000 will actually end
on a high note. The Harsh Light of Day picks up where
1998's platinum-plus All the Pain Money Can Buy left off.
It's an intoxicating album with a depth and emotional range
that broadens with each listen.
With Miles Zuniga and Tony Scalzo evenly dividing
songwriting and lead vocal duties, and drummer Joey
Shuffield supplying the laser-guided groove, Fastball's
1998 breakthrough All The Pain Money Can Buy propelled the
group into the big leagues. Led by the smash singles "The
Way" and "Out of My Head," the album notched platinum-plus
sales a More...

Review about Fastball
Beautiful Song | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song She's So High Above Me performed by Fastball
excuse me, girls love romantic stuff. not all of us want the idiotic muscular football jock. some of us are a hell of a lot deeper than that, and truthfully, woman and men are equal. as in both the same. it's just that the man singing the song is so in love that he pictures her as too good for him.
some guys do have feelings, you know.

------ About the song Out Of My Head performed by Fastball
i like and really stick in my mind about vthis song.if you read in the line,the writer so simply wrote there if the life is unsure.and sometimes in life people understand wrong with what you mean.so the writer just let the time and let the world answer all the question because he almost give up to explain what is in his mind.
simple,strong,pure and true.the song write by his feeling that time not with his head.......so.....sometimes he said that life uncontrol and possibility is open.....and then......for me life is........UP TO YOU....CAN BE GREAT,CAN BE BAD,CAN BE ......SOMUCH...........

------ About the song Out Of My Head performed by Fastball
Jack, Fastball came out back in the 90's, and this song is from that era. I don't recall the name of the CD, but I remember it having a wheat penny printed on it. They had two singles from this CD that did very well: "Out of My Head" and "The Way". I'm sure at some point you've heard "The Way", simply because it was a very popular song when it debuted.
They're both excellent songs, and if I may, I would suggest buying the CD and listening to it all, if not for the music then simply for the lyrics.
i also read an article about this song | Reviewer: anonymous 2
------ About the song The Way performed by Fastball
This song IS about an elderly couple who went missing. Rather than stating your own wrong opinion why don't you just look it up? You'll see that I'm right. And I quote " Fastball bassist Tony Scalzo came up with the idea for the song after reading journalistic articles which described the disappearance of an older married couple who left home in June of 1997 to attend a family reunion but never arrived. About the song Scalzo said that " It's a romanticized take on what happened" - he pictured them taking off to have fun, like they did when they first met." end quote(from wikipedia)

------ About the song The Way performed by Fastball
Seriously, do some research before spouting of your own assumptions.
Tony Scalzo wrote the song after reading a news article about an elderly couple who had disappeared in Texas. He imagined they were ran off on their own romantic trip. Later the real couple was found at the bottom of a canyon. Their RV had veered off the road killing them.

------ About the song The Way performed by Fastball
this is a beautiful that always makesme sad but i long to listen to it.i believe its about young people who jut gave up on life and up and left, leaving everything behind...it sounds like a happy song but its really a sad sad song.anyway, its simply beautiful..
The Way | Reviewer: Kellie
------ About the song The Way performed by Fastball
I know exactly what this song means. As the song goes, a young couple were having a stressful life, full of problems and they just couldn't take it anymore, so they packed up and left. Unfortunately they got in a car accident and died. 'Anyone can see the road that they walk on is paved in gold'. Talking about Heaven. And how in Heaven you never get hungry or old. =[ It's sad.

It's a ghost story | Reviewer: pam
------ About the song The Way performed by Fastball
hi
I'm a singersongwriter.But It can't be about old people because they sing They'll never get old and grey.And old people have grey hair.I think the song is about a couple who had so many problems.And they could'nt deal with the pain.So they took off and got in a terrible caraccident.And how many people abandon there childeren because they have too many problems.So now they wander the high way to stay there for ever.There are many legends that ghosts wander the highway.Ghost can't get older or grey .They don't get hungry.At first sight the melody makes you wanna dance.But if you listen many times there is something sinister about it.The story is sad and it can be that it's based on a true story.But it's a great song.

------ About the song She's So High Above Me performed by Fastball
I think you all are missing the point of the song. It expresses a human emotion that's all to common--insecurity. Though people want to reach happiness, they often sabotage themselves by not feeling worthy.
Interpretation?? | Reviewer: Marie
------ About the song The Way performed by Fastball
My guess would be that this song is about old people, who die and go to heaven, judging by the words in the chorus. And you don't have to be young to leave your children when you die.. (second verse)..

------ About the song She's So High Above Me performed by Fastball
Obviously the song isn't trying to make people believe that men and women should never be together der. Its a celebration about the power of love and happiness it brings.

it is about old people! They drove off and never came back.
It's not about old people | Reviewer: John Orford
------ About the song The Way performed by Fastball
How can this song possibly be about old people? Have you read the last verse - clearly it's about some irresponsible young people who abandon their children, imagining life will always be easy and carefree. I suspect it might be based ona real incident.
this song is phony | Reviewer: realman
------ About the song She's So High Above Me performed by Fastball
Any guy who believes this suck up song is a true wuss. I hope they dont get drawn in and start believing what the media wants them to, that women are somehow above us and have all the power because of their sexuality. Get a real life, women want real men not wimps. Who would write such a sappy wimpy song?
about this song | Reviewer: The Truth
------ About the song She's So High Above Me performed by Fastball
just WHY is it listed as fastball? and why is it listed as everclear? this song sounds NOTHING like both of there styles (the singer sounds simlar with fastball... but with differences)
Plus to this day, no one has yet to do a studio cover of this song

she is so high | Reviewer: cliopatra
------ About the song She's So High Above Me performed by Fastball
I love the song because, it brings a cool real thesis about its real truth of the song" What she says sounds unreal" well but it could is the truth......Whatever even an irony of a cheece can be the final truth, the winning might be at the edge, middle, or even non but a.....

This song KICKS ASS! | Reviewer: Noelle
------ About the song The Way performed by Fastball
I'm 16, and I've heard this song for a long time now. Everytime I'd go into the mall, or store, or Starbucks! I never knew what it was, but it always instantly put me in a happy, carefree mood. It finally came on TV one night, and my cousin was all like "Noelle!!! IT'S THAT SONG!!!!". I freaked out, and started dancing around everywhere, and singing! It's the best, and it doesn't matter how grumpy, or how bad of a kood I'm in ... if this song comes on, I'm all better.
5: *****
