After recording a series of seven-inch singles with Margaret Murray, formerly of U.S. Saucer, on bass, SF Seals toured with bassist Chris Milner of the Molecules and drummer Jay Page. Guitarist Brently Pusser of Nerd Rock Pioneers and 3 Day Stubble joined the band for the recording of Nowhere, their first LP, released in 1994 on the Matador label. Murray and Clarin also played on the album. The band's second album, Truth Walks in Sleepy Shadows, was released the next year, and they toured in support of the release, after which they disbanded -- permanently, according to Manning. Manning, who had fronted 28th Day and the Tablespoons as well as World of Pooh, has also released solo work, and is hailed by underground critics as a songwriter of eminent abilities." ~ Nick Kemper

Yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
And I been overthinking
BACK$EAT
And I been overthinking
I got too much on my mind
And I cannot give you no replies
Cause you been acting different
I cannot show no emotions
Like my heart is missing
My heart is missing
And I been overthinking
I got too much on my mind
The henny slowly sinking
And I cannot give you no replies
Cause you been acting different
I cannot show no emotions
Like my heart is missing
My heart is missing
Way too many times I'm feeling patronized
Baby come outside you could be televised
Walk inside my shoes so you could see the world right through my eyes
And realize these niggas talk a lot but they just full of lies
I'm seeing truth
And I done seen it all
But there's nothing to see in you
Looking at the way I live my life
It's fucking living proof
That you could be whatever you want to be
If you being you
Nigga that shit is true
And now I understand
They looking at you low
Because they know you got the upper hand
These niggas acting saucy, but they don't really want to dance
And even when they want to dance
They doing the running man
That's kinda crazy if you ask me
Find me in the backseat
Chilling with the Ashley's
Cops around the corner
Hit the gas
Ain't no one passing me
I been on the gas too and I been feeling max speed
Cause I been overthinking
I got too much on my mind
The henny slowly sinking
And I can not give you no replies
Cause you been acting different
I cannot show no emotions
Cause my heart is sinking
My heart is sinking
Cause I been overthinking
I got too much on my mind
The henny slowly sinking
And I can not give you no replies
Cause you been acting different
I cannot show no emotions
Like my heart is sinking
My heart is sinking
The lyrics to S.F. Seals's song "Missing" express the feeling of being overwhelmed with thoughts and emotions. The mention of overthinking suggests that the singer is caught up in their own thoughts to the point where it becomes burdensome. The repetition of this line throughout the song emphasizes the intensity of this mental struggle.
The mention of henny sinking could be interpreted as a metaphor for drowning one's sorrows or using alcohol to cope with the overwhelming thoughts. It suggests that the singer is using alcohol as a means to escape or numb their emotions. The line "I cannot give you no replies" implies a withdrawal from engaging with others, possibly due to feeling disconnected or unable to express oneself.
The line "Like my heart is missing" conveys a sense of emptiness or loss. It suggests that the singer feels detached from their own emotions, as if their heart is absent or unavailable. This feeling of missingness could be a result of the singer's overthinking and inability to show emotions, leading to a sense of disconnection from their true self and others.
Overall, "Missing" portrays a struggle with overwhelming thoughts, emotional numbness, and a sense of detachment from oneself and others. The lyrics suggest a desire for understanding, connection, and relief from the burdensome thoughts and emotions.

That is quite absurd or illogical, in my opinion
Find me in the backseat
Locate me in the rear seats of a vehicle
Chilling with the Ashley's
Relaxing or hanging out with a group of individuals named Ashley
Cops around the corner
Police officers in close proximity
Hit the gas
Accelerate the vehicle
Ain't no one passing me
No one is surpassing my speed
I been on the gas too and I been feeling max speed
I have also been driving fast and experiencing maximum velocity
Cause I been overthinking
Because I have been excessively analyzing and worrying
I can not give you no replies
I am unable to provide you with any responses
My heart is sinking
I am experiencing a deep sense of sadness or loss

@@MickLoud999 NO, no, no, mick! I understand all or most of those places where our abysmal prison/slave worker system, as well as the administration of Justice policy&procedure, are imperfect or even corrupted and inhumane. I'm acutely aware of the rates of imprisonment comparisons for the US and the multi-tiered system that is harsher and more draconian to more select demographics of people. I also am aware of the labor exploitation of prisoners and the savage, unfit, unhealthy, abusive, and sometimes torturous material conditions, including the actions of facility staff, that our near-medieval modus operandi for public safety is visiting upon citizens. Some of whom are incarcerated unfairly, as innocents, or for harmless acts, or due to applications of antiquated Jim crow laws etc.
More to the point, I know (from personal experience) that prosecutors in this country commonly engage in illegal, unethical, improper, evil, and bigoted practices in the application of their public duties. Including collusion with 3rd party strong arms, witness tampering, withholding evidence, evidence tampering, paid witnesses, forced confessions, etc.
And yes, of course I agree, it IS and SHOULD ALWAYS be a central tenet of our country as a whole that a person is to be considered innocent until it is proven they are guilty. And I think, on all of these items so far, we agree on those things being real serious problems that need solving.
Where we seem to differ is with the degree to which the prosecution may use absolute expressions in the language of their opening and closing statements.
The whole reason for having Prosecuting attorneys and Council for defense is so that both sides can be argued by professionals to the highest degree without any conflict of interest. Using the phrase "this person is guilty" is practically obligatory in light of the responsibilities of the prosecutor. And this is not in conflict with the core value of "innocent until proven guilty" for two reasons. 1. The opportunity must must be available, at least in one point in time, for the people and victims to present evidence and make their case. Thats the "until proven" part of the phrase. 2. The defense is present so that the accused may face their accusers, may object to any impropriety, and refute the prosecutions case and present the defense. So it's not as if there isn't a favorable narrative placed alongside the unfavorable narrative. That is to say, the defense stands up right before or after the prosecutor and says unequivocally that "this man is innocent!!!" Because that's how trials work.
If the prosecutor, while making their case, instead said something wishy washy like "perhaps this man is guilty, maybe. Who knows? He's innocent right now. But I have some evidence that could possibly point toward his being guilty, if the jury finds it convincing."
Then that statement would be a blatant violation of prosecutorial ethics and their responsibility/requirement/BAR licensing to make the case for their clients to the best of their ability, in good faith, and to the fullest extent of the law. Likewise for the defense counsel should they say "maybe my client is guilty. But I think he's most likely innocent! Could be." Making that sort of Defense would be grounds for a mistrial itself and possibly could get the counselor disbarred.
If it were the judge making these kinds of biased absolute statements during trial I could see where your frustration was coming from. But the prosecution or defense making those sorts of absolute statements? Well, that's their damn job.
I think the Crux of our miscommunications, other than those absolute expressions during opening and closing arguments, is where your perception of proper trial procedure flips from Theory and the ethics of law as it is written to the practice of the law, and back. Notwithstanding, of course, misconduct which is plainly wrong and bad and illegal in both senses.
Have I addressed the disagreement? What is on target and what did I miss?
@ttpllc6646
Totally agree!
Talk is easy, when many do not see these widow makers terrorists slicing and beheading your men. If he no longer qualifies psychologically to handle the job, then retire him, but do not touch or remove his honor.
Not all soldiers can handle so many atrocities and still act normal following all the rules made by men that never experienced a war combat.
"Older men declare war. But it is the youth that must fight and die" ― Herbert Hoover
"War is young men dying and old men talking" ― Franklin D. Roosevelt
The truth is, our soldiers should be trained to protect our country, not the assets and interests of the few wealthy at foreign countries under the tittle of fighting terrorism. Using the military to invade a foreign country to protect Corporate's assets and resources is the worse terrorism. Any civilian would become a so called "terrorist or insurgent" if the US government would allow foreign military to come and invade the US in the name of "keeping the order".
Let's protect our home country, and leave the other messed country to be fixed by their own corrupted government and leaders.
@cleggonator
Imagine getting put in jail for killing an isis member.... This is completely twisted
@LL-fi4rr
He was also accused of shooting a girl walking with her friends and an unarmed elderly man by Navy snipers, but those events weren’t filmed and leaked to the public so they were much easier to get away with.
@mw5213
Rules of engagement..
@rapitity7043
Paft Dunk stupidest rule yet
@cozysaucer6300
Alex Mulvihill yeah why’s that ? It’s Isis the people that used to be al-qaeda in Iraq, the people who were the terrorist group behind 911
@cozysaucer6300
Alex Mulvihill ok I get that but still it’s isis u cant trust anyone from any group like that no matter what because u need to assume they are hostile to be better prepared for an attack
@arturolopez717
Everyone wants the deed done but no one wants to get their hands dirty.
@MichelleSPodcast
So you're talking about doing something that's necessary, even though he was an Isis fighter, he was practically a boy, and he was clearly injured and surrounded by more than 12 Navy Seals. I appreciate everything those people do and I think that they have a horrendous job that 99% of us, myself included, could never do or bear. However, there are standards and stabbing an injured enemy who is surrounded by enemies and then posing for a picture with his dead body is not the standard. I believe the president was wrong to get involved because we all know that, especially as a Navy SEAL, you are more protected than anybody in this country. They don't want anything to get out that may tarnish the reputation and yet, they still found reason to prosecute this person. Why would they do that if it wasn't Justified? I believe that because Gallagher is an avid Trump supporter, he received rights and privileges that others wouldn't.
@MichelleSPodcast
@Chris Bateman yeah, I can only imagine. That was kind of my point. That's definitely not a standard I would want for my military but none of us can even imagine what it's like to be there and see your brothers and teams get killed in front of you and what that does to your psyche and your morale. I wasn't judging them at all, although I do believe it's not a standard that we should be proud of.
@MichelleSPodcast
@Chris Bateman also, I've heard that there are people who join the military in efforts to go to war because they have a disposition for that. They thrive and enjoy combat and that's something that is out of place in regular Society. So I'm sure just like there are those people in the outside world, I've heard that some people enlist because they enjoy the violence.
