“The only way I was able to engage real music as a young person was to shoplift CDs from the local record store, secretly tape things off the radio onto cassette, or convince my parents that a band was actually Christian. I did this famously with Jesus Jones. This last hustle was made easier if a band explored religious themes at times in their songs, which is how I was able to get my hands on records by the Innocence Mission.”

“I’ve been draping myself in the luxury of this tune to keep me feeling dreamy and cozy as the temperature drops. I love the milky silky husk of Mary’s vocal in this recording, and I am always entranced by the sounds that Les Paul gets out of his damn guitar!”

“The song reminds me of other very bleak very simple songs I love. “Failure” by the Swans. “Love Will Tear Us Apart” by Joy Division. “World War” by The Cure. “Big River” by Johnny Cash. “Lord, I’m Discouraged” by The Hold Steady. “Strange Fruit” by Billie Holiday. “Is That All There Is” by Peggy Lee. Several songs by The Smiths. It also reminds me of the John Cougar album title “Nothing Matters and What If It Did?””

AUBREY HORNOR from LITHICS – Song For Ewe

“This song also has my all-time favorite scream. It’s so loud and inappropriate, makes me laugh every time I hear it, it’s so good! My band mate Bob thinks this scream may be second only to Iggy Pop’s weird inverted, coughing scream in the middle of “T.V. Eye”, so it’s a very highly rated scream among members of Lithics.”
