About Kelly Walter
Expertise
I can answer almost any question about 311 that someone would have, unless it is about the band`s personal life, as I do not know them personally.
I can answer questions about songs, their website, albums, tours, etc.
I WILL NO LONGER ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT RARE MERCHANDISE. People keep asking me about it and when I don't have a place for them to buy the merch from, they get upset with me. I am human, I cannot make the rare merch magically appear, that's why it's rare. IF YOU ARE TRYING TO FIND RARE MERCH, keep looking on Ebay and other auction websites. If you ask me questions about merch, I will not answer them (unless for some reason I know of somewhere that you don't).
Experience
I have been a fan for 11 years and have seen 27 shows in 9 different states. I am a member on their bulletin board and receive updates very often on what the band is doing.

Question
what was the inspiration for the song use of time? i just had my best friend pass away and since then this song has never meant so much to me than any of 311's work. maybe its coincidental but id just like to know. thanks for your time/
Answer
Honestly, I have never talked to the band about this, but I could give you my interpretation. It really sounds like he is unclear/unsure in his relationship and also sounds like he may be a bit depressed. The great thing about 311 is that no matter what the lyrics are actually about, they can evoke emotion in you. I had a best friend pass away in February 2004 (I still think about him every day) and 311 helped me get through the hard times.
If you'd like to see what other people think the song means, you can go to: http://www.songmeanings.net/lyric.php?lid=3458764513820543963
Also, if you REALLY NEED to know the exact meaning, you always have the option of emailing PAT8904@aol.com or JOAN8904@aol.com. These are P-Nut's Mom and Stepdad's email addresses. They are not to be used to bombard them with emails all of the time, but if you have a simple question, they would be able to forward that question onto management for you. Management may be able to get you an answer from the band. Let them know your situation and I'm sure they will do what they can to help.
I hope this helps you. I am sorry I do not know the exact meaning, but the band has never really talked about it (to my knowledge, on the bulletin board or in print somewhere). Also, I do not know them personally so it's hard for me to know answers like this. But I will do all I can to help you obtain your answer.
Thanks.
