Some people still think there's a hidden meaning behind this song and we're being too simple in thinking it's about making a girl/woman "cum."

Your band must have been pretty good.

It's my favorite new song since Broken Things.

It's not about hidden meanings, it's about taking lyrics out of context and enjoying them on a personal level. Dave may very well have written this exclusively as a song about making a woman cum....I can fully see that being the case and that's fine.

But that doesn't mean that I can't take a subset of these lyrics, and apply them to my life in a meaningful way. I mentioned it a few pages back, but the line about 'beautiful girl, take it easy on yourself make it easy on me' is one I relate to.....being in a relationship that is challenging and complicated, where you try to cheer up your spouse who may have difficulty being happy in life.

Once I have that context, then when I see the song performed live it really hammers that emotional resonance home. The combination of the way Dave sings the lyrics and the beautiful, under-stated Rashawn solo are all musical manifestations of how I react to the songs lyrics, and that line specifically. So then when Dave keeps repeating the Come On Come On refrain at the end, it feels like an emotional plea that once again hits home for me.


So in short, are the lyrics cheesy and about sex? Probably. But I've been able to still find merit in them, and the live experience is made way better because of it. Sucks I'm in the minority!

I love this song studio. It's one of my favorites on Come Tomorrow, but man, even with the Copperpot version, this is rough live. Feels very sparse and lacks the energy of the studio version. It really needs strings.

That’s cool

I save my final judgement until I hear a song live, and now I can say I dislike this song greatly. Live and studio. The only way to make CoCo more boring would be to call it Out of my Hands and make sure its always played coming out of Mercy.

This song should have been played in 2008 when it was written.

I have a feeling the fanbase would have gone apeshit for this song in 2008.

Meanwhile, in 2018... is this the next single? Looks like they're playing this on Ellen this week? They should play COCO on Conan!

[YankeesDMB41]

I still cannot get enough of this song. The guitar riff...Dave's vocal melodies....Carter's beat.

[Madnana]

Cool to hear how this song progressed from "Come On" in 2006 to "Come On Come On" in 2018. Pretty obvious now that it all started with the beat and was built up from there Batson style.

Agree. Timeless quality to it. The groove is also so good, it could go on forever.

[ExistenceNow]

Top 5 in the whole catalog?

Wow.

[Cptn. Monkeyman]

I like the song. But top 5 is weird

[Dodo36]

Someone had a theory about a correlation to when you started getting heavy into the band really being indicative of your preferences of music from the band. If they got into the band right after Stand Up, I could see this being a Top 5. If they got into it anywhen between 1993 and 2000, though, yeah Top 5 would be weird.

[YankeesDMB41]

Still cannot believe this was written at the latest, 2006. This song could have been a DMB classic in the same breath as Shotgun and Break Free

In my opinion, this is the best track on the Batson Sessions.

Describes me. Probably why I like it so much. 2004/busted stuff/lily white stuff I like the best

[Tom Brady]

Became a big fan in 2005.

I love this song. My clear cut favorite from the album...but top 5 in the catalog is just a bittttttttt of a stretch lol.
