so fast

[orit]

it's my favorite song, so deep, so sad...
I hope it will be on the first album (to break a little bit the lovey songs...)
can't wait to hear a studio recording...

[maggie]

I can't listen to this song - if i do i cry. I have a bi-polar child and it reminds me of him so much..

[SoAddicted22]

I have loved this song since the first time I heard it

[kbkysun]

Of all of Jason's original songs this is my favorite. The lyrics are in a totally differant league than the others. Its not that I don't like the other songs its that this one is written from a life experience. There is more emotion to it. It comes from his heart and soul and he tells a story with his words that speaks to my heart.

i love the lovey stuff that jason writes but the raw emotions in this song is what makes it my favorite.

so haunting, sad and beautiful! i can't even imagine that jason wrote this only in one night.

I love this song too. It's filled with passion, which is what drew me to Jason to begin with.

This is a gorgeous song, but so sad.....

[tybar68]

This is my favorite Jason original. The lyrics and the whistling make it sad and haunting, but the guitar makes it not so sad - if you know what I mean. The poster who said that this song is in a different league, compared to his others - I agree, everything just flows.

When I first heard this song I wondered where within Jason it came from as it is so haunting and different from the other songs Jason has written.

Then when I heard the story that inspired its birth and the fact that it was written in one night... it just validated for me Jason's emotional depth, expressive talent and ability to translate feelings into music of the soul. He has such a gift.

"So Fast" makes me cry.

There is so much emotion in the lyrics and music of So Fast and when you couple that with personal experience it can be too much. Makes me cry too Maggie!

I'm so amazed at how well he captured the helplessness of the people left behind when someone dies too soon.
Makes me cry BUT still want a studio version!

And the whistling is amazing!

#ditto# That's why we're all here, I think.

I guess I'm a little out of the loop on this one, I didn't hear the story behind this song. Can someone either explain it or post the link to where it is?

I agree about the music and whistling being haunting and sobering!

So fast was written the night before my birthday, i had found out that morning that a friend that i was close to in high school had commited suicide. that song was written in reflection of the situation and i was just examining the thoughts that one faces in a time like that. it all came out in one night. thats the story behind that song. straight from the heart and soul.

I like this song, even though it is sad

[sachawith3is]

I do love it, but it's hard to listen to. It accomplishes it's goal in making you think about things that are painful, but .... it's painful. Painfully beautiful though.

[worldwartori]

i love this song so much. it's so beautifully haunting.

i love the fact that it's so different from all of jason's other songs but it still feels like him.

and the whistling is amazing!

[caitlin147]

This song is soo gorgeous and sad.

[Dani31588]

My favorite song of his....I can relate to it big time.

Having someone close to you commit suicide is the hardest thing anyone could ever have to deal with.

I'm sorry that you seem to know that from experience. #ththerethere-1#

[Dani31588]

Unfortunately, I do know the feeling from experience.

The first time I heard So Fast, it gave me chills. Shortly followed by tears, Jason really puts a lot of real, true, raw emotion into the song and its felt big time.
