Shawn Colvin - 84,000 Different Delusions download song

I've always thought it was a song about a town of 84 000 people. Sorry if that doesn't cheer anybody up.

Shawn Colvin is FRICKING AWESOME!!  the dj

Ya know, I can't say I know what this song means for certain, but she must have chosen the number 84000 for a reason. However, the only significance I can attach to this number comes from Buddhist traditions. According to that tradition, Buddha had given 84,000 different teachings to various types of people based on their needs. Now, if she really is referring to this tradition, I truly wonder what she is trying to say in the song. So many different ways to interpret it.........

i used to listen to this album every day

Don't sweat it brother. This is a brilliant song, full of emotion. I was just wondering why she chose that particular number - might not be important at all.

A Poem Inspired By Shawn Colvin My Favorite Delusion you are my favorite delusion but one day being crazy will be in vogue where crazy reigns crazy pours in my dreams all the faces are so hazy I’m a hobo I’m a rogue I ride on empty trains but one face could be yours I used to bribe the twilight moon to help me read the signs now I crawl around in the zoo looking for flat fine lines one could lead to you now I mix with the fog I listen for candle light I keep my ear to the ground for the sound of an anvil before the next word is found I listen to the voices try to break the code I ask every rollin’ stone on every lonesome road what it was like to be kicked by you I sleep in graveyards I sing for ghosts of murdered blues I ask em who done it it must have been you I sing for them and them for me but there is no cure we never should have listened to a voice so pure Shawn Colvin my most beautiful delusion for sure end

Reminds me of my grandma. RIP

84,000 seconds is exactly 40 minutes short of 24 hours; maybe this means 40 minutes of respite per day.

yeah sorry maybe I've them too friend --yeah was a misspell , funny how they change from day to day delusions and anger - again my apologies
