about

Dinosaur Jr were perhaps the most important band in my life in ‘93. I listened to them constantly, even though in some ways they were abrasive to the point of being hard to get through.

This song is about that compulsion, underlined by a memory I have of listening to their song Drawerings, loudly, while heavy hungover, so every shrill, screeching guitar note cut into my banging head, both stunning and also painful.

lyrics

MY EYES BEAM/
OUTWARD AND INWARD/
THERE’S SAND IN MY THROAT/
THERE’S NAILS WITH EACH NOTE/

YOU SAID SOMETHING/
I HEARD NOTHING/
MORE/

SHAME SHAME SHAME/
IS JUST A WORD CHANTED/

BLAME BLAME BLAME/
IS JUST A WORD CHANTED/ (x2)
