Evan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

First and foremost thank you
Thank you for taking the time out to listen to my music and be a part of this story
It means more to me than any of you guys could ever know
And more to me than I even know sometimes so again thank you
Second of all that's what this is
A story
This is the beginning of a story
That I've been living and going through for the past couple of years now
And a story that I plan to continue and bring you guys along with me on
So in the process of all this
In the middle of all of it
Please be patient and bear with me
I want to paint for you guys as best as I can
And as vividly as I can exactly what it's been like for me
And without further ado here is the long awaited




Starving Artist
Hope you enjoy

The openings to Miami Vice were on a different level.. They ratcheted up the tension from minute one and you knew you were in for an amazing episode.

JB0071051982

Indeed they did, plus the music and the cinematography are just some of the reasons why Miami Vice is one of my favorite tv series of all time.

John Cole

The best. Nothing and I mean nothing is like that on TV today.

Thank you Lord for allowing me to see this during its initial run.

litzDP

Amen, brother. I saw it on its first run, too.

matt murdock

Same here. I always thought โ€˜Rhythm of the Heatโ€™ and โ€˜Bikoโ€™ fit the narrative perfectly.

kevin buja

To me, the best episode of Miami Vice (and Out Where the Buses Donโ€™t Run is my 2nd favorite).

This was a great episode. It dealt w/guilt, regret, absolution, and homophobia.
The homophobia was dealt with with dignity and compassion. The issue of someone coming out and how others react(ed) was ahead of its time; especially when AIDS was starting to run rampant through the gay community. In the 80โ€™s the gay community was demonized and vilified. This episode tried to paint the picture that you were just as human being gay, as well as being straight.

Gabrielโ€™s โ€œRhythm of The Heatโ€ was (to me) a good foreshadowing of Evanโ€™s soul, especially the line in the song โ€œThe rhythm has my soul.โ€.
And โ€œBikoโ€ was a perfect ending, when Evan commits suicide by walking into the bullet fire, as his way of atonement and release from his past.

Aside from the spoiler(!), you're spot on. And this lesson is lost, because the streaming services ban this episode. Begs the question, Which is worse? That Crockett uses a "politically incorrect" word in the context of this lesson? Or that banning this episode means the lesson goes unlearned?

(Also, I'd put "Out Where the Buses..." at #1 and "Evan" #2. Both definitely the best episodes.)

kevin buja

@motoman2WH3 Iโ€™ve heard this episode is banned from streaming services (but not the dvd) because of Gabriel and copyright infringement.

And either way, whether โ€œEvanโ€ is 1 or 2, they are the strongest, most cohesive episodes. And, ending โ€œOut Where the Buses Donโ€™t Runโ€ with โ€œBrothers in Armsโ€ (I still think to this day, that that track is the best on that album. Aside: I think Mark Knopfler is one the most underrated guitarists and one of the best story tellers, โ€œMaking Moviesโ€ attests to that) was perfect.

Evan ended up in a relationship with his boss. He deeply cared for Orgel, even though, he didnt want to admit it.

amanda davis

The guy who played Evan should have got an Emmy for this episode.
