Fountains Of Wayne - Hackensack (Live In Chicago)

For the band's first-ever DVD concert, fans are treated to a career-defining set with punchy performances of their hits including "Stacy's Mom," "Sink To The Bottom" and "Radiation Vibe." Having perfected the sounds of summer buzz with tight rhythms, carefree melodies and humor-laced lyrics, the indie pop quartet takes the stage in prime form, knocking out favorite after favorite.

Lyrics:
I used to know you when we were young
You were in all my dreams
We sat together in period one
Fridays at 8:15
Now I see your face in the strangest places
Movies and magazines
I saw you talkin' to Christopher Walken
On my TV screen

But I will wait for you
As long as I need to
And if you ever get back to Hackensack
I'll be here for you

I used to work in a record store
Now I work for my dad
Scraping the paint off of hard wood floors
The hours are pretty bad
Sometimes I wonder where you are
Probably in L.A.
That seems to be where everybody else ends up these days

But I will wait for you
As long as I need to
And if you ever get back to Hackensack
I'll be here for you

And I will wait for you
As long as I need to
And if you ever get back to Hackensack
I'll be here for you
If you ever get back to Hackensack
I'll be here for you

Great song about having big dreams, but ultimately failing to get out of your hometown. Relatable for a lot of people.

One of my favorites from Interstate. Gives great feelings of loss and missed opportunities. That's something everyone can relate to. Love the melody too.

Hard to listen to this without tearing up

[Hercules]

This is one of the best song I have ever heard in my life.

[yuh]

I was flipping through my Dad's CD collection the other day and saw some FOW albums and thought I'd listen to them. And Fountains of Wayne are probably the best band I've heard in a long time.

[sasalag]

I get choked up pretty easily hearing this one. So simple yet so emotional.

[hartdr]

RIP Adam thanks for writing really great songs.
