“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.

“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?””

“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.”
