This song by Son Volt represents the Alt-Country style, which Son Volt was considered to be a pioneer. The live-version of the song has a longer grundge guitar jam; this version has a more interesting slide-guitar part. I added a mandolin part with a sizzle, and the electric-violin on a preset from the Digitech GNX-4 that I called KIVEBOMB, which makes the violin sound like a mellow electric guitar.
The theme "medication" has a meaning of a blessing and a curse. Modern-Medicine indulges in medications for every symptom. Some medications are essential for life sustaining, such as insulin, blood-pressure pills, etc., but other medications seem to get in our way of progress, and we find out later that the side-effects of many medications result in legal law-suits, lost time spent on hope for relief of our symptoms, and in the end, dis-satisfaction by all involved. The mystery of the brain still eludes the treatment for many of the symptoms that we are plagued with. Healing sometimes requires medication -- let's hope we can find the correct ones, as we learn more about the mechanism of the mind and body interaction.
