By Phish. By Trey Anastasio. Arranged by Michael Mollo. This edition: pdf, streaming. Folk, Jazz, Pop, Rock. Lead Sheet / Fake Book. 2 pages. Michael John Mollo Publishing #1194609. Published by Michael John Mollo Publishing (A0.1626174).A quintessential example of Billy Breathes’ stripped down simplicity, “Waste” hints of a slacker anthem. Starting with Trey’s solitary guitar, the song’s protagonist casts aside the masks of role and occupation, expressing longing to waste time with the object of her love. An optimistic interpretation suggests a love song with a thinly veiled ironic twist because, in this view, love isn’t a waste at all. More cynical views hold that the song isn’t ironic in the slightest: both the song and love itself represent a “waste”; or, alternatively that the song represents a superficial sentimentality targeted to the lowest common denominator.
Cherished by many fans, “Waste” certainly has its share of detractors. The potentially tender moments of the song and it's almost pop-like qualities gnaw at the soft underbelly of many in Phish’s hyper-geek fan intelligentsia. On the other hand, Billy Breathes in general – and “Waste” in particular – sparked an appreciation of Phish by mainstream media, who praised the “new-found accessibility” of both the music and lyrics. Rather than representing a temporary departure from the generally more complex and cerebral nature of their previous offerings, “Waste” in many ways represented a turning point, a new layer to Phish’s stylistic onion, and a precursor to later offerings such as “Bug,” “Secret Smile," and "Joy.".
