Really awesome song! The style during the chorus, especially vocal harmonies, etc, sounds a lot like what Fine Young Cannibals would sound like if they were still writing music today. |

It should be mentioned that this is a cover, not written by Hole. Unfortunately this is one of the least creative covers I've heard. My favorite is by Bloomfield, Kooper, and Stills on their album Super Session. |

I love everything about this song.
If you can find it, there's another version of this on a compilation called Shanti Project Collection Vol. 3. That's my favorite version of all time. |

By the way, you can download KC Accidental music on iTunes. The difference is iTunes lists them as "K.C. Accidental." Those periods make a difference. |

/Hayden/ telling somebody to cheer up...
...anyone else see the irony here? ;)
I believe he wrote this for friend and fellow musician Howie Beck. |

| Hayden – Looking For You In Me Lyrics

God I love this song. It's just looking back at a relationship after you've ended it and watching it go sour all over again.
I was looking for you in me
And I was lost. |

| Clap Your Hands Say Yeah – Details of the War Lyrics

I take this song quite literally, as it is how I can best relate to it. ;)
Starts off he's in love with this girl. Bloody sheets = she lost her virginity to him I think? That would be backed up with "Dying hard for love." She says he's "hurt" and a "wounded bird" yet she's the one who isn't happy unless she has money/nice clothes and her friends are the same way: fashionable whores.
So then Tom the Athlete (tm) asks her to the prom. They had sex after, but he's not surprised because everyone's the same. He sings that with such emptiness/hopelessness I love it. Anyhoo. Camel dick... I assume that means he had a big penis or something. I don't know the "crucifix" thing. So, as fashionable whores do, she left him for Tom the Athlete With the Bigger Penis (tm).
Our singer first realizes this when he sees him and her emerging from the football stands with his broken hand. It's over, he has seen it all before. (God I love that line)
So flash forward a bit and she's spending her life with him. She's not happy. The jock wasn't able to give her happiness, she tries to look good get him to notice her but he doesn't because all he does is drink.
Fucking jocks.
This song (with the exception of them loving each other first) is the story of my fucking life. |

| Clap Your Hands Say Yeah – Blue Turning Gray Lyrics

I think it's a sort of healing or transition, turning the sadness (depression?) into something that can't have effect, sort of suppressing the emotion and moving on. Hence the gray. |
