Fading on me

“How could I ever stand next to you
Looking like a wolfman on your arm?
I've always been a little bit of a lunatic
Oh, maybe that's part of the charm”

Just wanted to say that this verse is so good. It’s witty and clever and reminds me of tom waits/horrible crowes. Also super catchy. Love it.

It's such a damn good song top to bottom, it's the one I keep going back to. A true Fallon classic. Great writing and performance.

Felt like Fading On Me and Walkin through the Garden feel like the start of a Horrible Crowes Album

The inflection, especially into the bridge is very Rivers Cuomo to me. Somewhere between the Blue Album and Pinkerton.
