Jay Farrar fundó Son Volt tras la separación de la famosa banda de country Uncle Tupelo (1987-1994). Editaron su debut en 1995 titulado "Trace" y en 1997 sacaron "Straightaways", ambos disfrutaron de parabienes tanto de la crítica como del público. Sin embargo, tras el lanzamiento de "Wide Swing Tremolo" (1998), empezaron los rumores de su separación. Farrar se lanzó en solitario antes de reformar Son Volt, con un nuevo equipo, en el 2004. El resultado fue el lanzamiento del político álbum "Okemah and the Melody of Riot".

Ten Second News by Son Volt Transcribed by John Erlinger ([email protected])
Music and words by Jay Farrar (Warner-Tamerlane Pub./Grain Elevator Songs) >From the Warner Bros. album "Trace" (9 46010-2)
The lyrics to this song may make better sense to someone who lives in the Midwest or Missouri. The "beach there known for cancer" on Highway 70 is the infamous Times Beach, which was deserted due to dioxin poisoning. And of course the "cough in the water" is the Great Flood of 1993. Farrar uses the metaphor of natural disasters to paint a picture of Midwestern life. . .

DAm7 When you find what matters is what you feel, CD It arrives and it disappears. DAm7 Drivin' down 70-44 highway, CD There's a beach there known for cancer waiting to happen. DAm7 When you're out across the county line, CD The news travels slower than a ten-second buzz.
EmGF But only you'll ever know, EmGF As day by day disappears. EmFDAm7CD Only you'll ever know.
And it's hard enough soakin' up billboard signs, They scorch and drown alive, never knowing why. The levee gates are open wide, There's a cough in the water and it's runnin' into town. Bright eyes don't change, stay the same, There must be an answer for what keeps it going wrong.
EmGF But only you'll ever know, EmGF As day by day disappears. EmFGF Only you'll ever know, only you'll ever know, EmGF As day by day disappears, EmFDAm7CD Only you ever know.
