Go With The Flow - Live At Brixton Academy / 2005

In this rocker, Queens Of The Stone Age frontman Josh Homme is dealing with a love interest who won't commit. He tells her he'll "go with the flow," meaning accept her terms and let it play out, but with a caveat: "Don't say it doesn't matter anymore," he asks.

Homme wrote the song with QOTSA bass player Nick Oliveri, his right-hand man on the Songs For The Deaf album. Oliveri tells Songfacts it was one of the first ones they wrote for the album, following "You Think I Ain't Worth A Dollar, But I Feel Like A Millionaire."

Queens Of The Stone Age played an early version of this song on some dates (including the Reading Festival) in August 2001, a year before it was released. The band liked to road test songs before recording them, something that was possible in 2001 before songs were commonly recorded by the audience and inevitably stolen.
