lyrics

When my niece was six years old
She moved to New Jersey
She'd grown up on the west coast
This was the wrong direction

She was not adjusting well
To those humid summer nights
She fell in love just as soon as
She saw her first fireflies

Thunderstorms and fireflies
Make no sense to west coast eyes
Wish I could still be surprised
By thunderstorms and fireflies

My wife made a move like that
Some forty years ago
The thing that freaked her out the most
Was not the cold or snow

It was the sound of thunder
Which she'd never heard before
She didn't find it comforting
We don't live there anymore

Thunderstorms and fireflies
Make no sense to west coast eyes
Wish I could still be surprised
By thunderstorms and fireflies

Me, I love an August storm
And watching lightning strikes
I find comfort in the noise
When I am safe inside

Steam heaters make me feel the same
Clanking through a winter night
But they drove my wife insane
They brought her no delight

Thunderstorms and fireflies
Remembering her gasps and sighs
Signs of life sounds of demise
Thunderstorms and fireflies

It's the essence of TMJ to follow up a smart song about the need to forge new memories with a killer that grooves on everything great and awful about the 1970s. Brash, confident, and deeply pleasurable -- and its vibe is punctured by the new old b-side's warning "living backwards in time/losing your mind." As always, TMJ has it all ways, beautifully. Alan S
