He wrote the song because he and his brother were allegedly not speaking and were at odds with each other: "It is about a fight I got in with my brother, Caleb. After he graduated high school, we drifted apart and really hadn't spoken in a long time. One day we both realized that we needed to fight it out. We'd been friends for 20 years. That's a long time when you're only 23 years old. We fought it out, and he's one of my best friends today."〔http://www.yamaha.com/Artists/ArtistDetail.html?CNTID=546500&CTID=#〕〔http://www.freewebs.com/isaacsladelover/isaacslade.htm〕〔http://www.thefish.com/music/interviews/11618063/page-2/〕 The song was originally recorded as a demo early in the band's life. This demo version was picked up by Denver radio station KTCL, and became one of the station's most played songs of 2005.〔http://www.rockymountainnews.com/news/2007/dec/08/the-new-air-power/〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Over My Head (Cable Car)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
