Over the Hill

What does John Hiatt talk about when he talks about being "Over the Hill"? Well, a lot more than we expected as Jesse and Sylvan started to break down this song from 2018's The Eclipse Sessions.

Join us as we discuss the music and lyrics from this song, including (perhaps) an illusion to the great Raymond Carver's "What We Talk About When We Talk About Love" a few years after the film Birdman brought it back to the forefront of culture.

As always, we end rating the song on our special Hiatt scale, and encourage you to join us to do the same.

1-star - Sure, it's good, because it's Hiatt. But, you might skip it every now and then when it comes on the Ipod.

2-star - A good, solid song. But, if you compare it to others...

3-star - A song that you would put up against anything that is popular today or of it's time and proves that John Hiatt is one of the best singer-songwriters around.

4-star - Classic - everything about the song is quality and you want to listen again and again.

5-star - The best of the best. Songs that you can't stop listening to or talking about, so that perhaps your friends and family become a bit annoyed.
