this is one of the most famous songs ever, so excuse my obvious-posting. And being late to the game. This is actually the song that got me into VU this past year. Sure, “Venus In Furs” is pretty sexy and grimy. I was shocked that the same band that made that song made this song. Gave me pause!
if I have kids this will be my lullaby for them. I sing it to my cat while she’s falling asleep- “sadie says/ that im really sleepy/ and a little hungry too”.
I can’t get over how beautifully observed the lyrics are. Each verse really cuts into something so human… “I hate the quiet places/the cut the smallest taste/of what will be”. Felt. That.
anyway enjoy.
