Yes it's a bit of an oldie-but-goodie track (2010), Spotify just kind of served it up to me and I was glad to hear it again.
It's hard to imagine being in a relationship this toxic and bad;
And then writing a song reminding you of all the times you tried to leave, but couldn't, or wouldn't.
And then having to sing it live every night of a tour because it's so good and fans love it so much.
"You can take me if you want to run/
Said you wanted to then kissed the gun/
You can if you want to."
Props to Sharon, a very gifted singer/songwriter and superstrength human.

Have heard this played live twice and it reduced me to tears on both times. it really gets to the heartache and exhaustion of restraining yourself from loving someone who will break your heart again and again. sometimes putting yourself first is a hard thing to do even if itâs the right thing

sometimes a song is good because it's about being super evil and selfish and wanting to the point of isolation so that you can never truly get what you want

Hey tyler hopefully this doesnât violate some PI.FYI golden rule
But after nearly two years of writing, editing and arguing, my book about the EP is coming out in May and can be preordered here:
https://hozacrecords.com/product/aifl/
The book is about the origins, history and cultural impact of the EP since these little objects first started coming out in the 50s.
Over 50 of my music biz friends then helped me shape the list and review the top 200 ever released, according to us (ha).
For those of you who are into this kind of geekery/snobbery, I canât wait to hear what you think. A labor of love, as all books are! â€ïž

I will fail to explain just how much this band meant to me in the 90s.
So I will borrow from AV Club who did a fine job of distilling it:
âUnwound is the best band of the â90s. Not just because of how prolific, consistent, and uncompromising it was, but because of how perfectly Unwound nested in a unique space between some of the most vital forms of music that decade: punk, post-rock, indie rock, post-hardcore, slow-core, and experimental noise. That jumble of subgenres doesnât say much; in fact, it falls far short of what Unwound truly synthesized and stood for. Unwound stood for Unwound. But in a decade where most bands were either stridently earnest or stridently ironic, Unwound wasnât stridently anything. It was only itself. In one sense Unwound was the quietest band of the â90s, skulking around like a nerdy terror cell. In another sense it was the loudest, sculpting raw noise into contorted visions of inner turmoil and frustration.â
R.I.P. Vern Rumsey.
This is their finest song, from their finest album.
I really canât say enough about the sheer bloody minded genius of this group. đ€
