The Wallflowers - God Says Nothing Back

[radical347]

2nd single from "Rebel, Sweetheart." It seems most Wallflowers songs are either extremely bland or extremely good; fortunately this is of the latter variety. It's slow and melancholy a la "Closer to You," so I can see how some people would find it boring. While it's easily the best song on the album IMO, it wasn't the best choice for a single, which is probably why it stalled in the 20s on AAA instead of going straight into the Top 10 like "Beautiful Side of Somewhere." Likewise, I doubt this will make the lower rungs of the Hot AC chart like most of their recent singles have.

I keep getting faked out, waiting to hear the singles off the latest album: I figure my only chance is to hear them on KNSX in my hometown in Missouri. However, everytime they play a Wallflowers song I'm not familiar with, it always ends up being "Letters From the Wasteland," which I never recognize until the chorus.
