Love this song. The idea that little Peter has a dark history like that is cool. Thats a movie I'd go to see!
Anyway, anybody know what the funny ending dialogue is from? |

The movie "the devils playground" (1976) has a quote very similar to the lyrics here. A christian monk is talking to a bunch of boys on a religious retreat. Basically scaring them about hell and all that. I immediately thought of the song! Check it out. |

Saw them open for sebadoh last night and they played this. It was awesome. I really felt the music and lyrics and I wanted to take charge of my life. Do something I feel is meaningful or at least interesting.
Then this morning I got up and drove to work. The happy f***ing prole. |

sounds like he feels guilty about his fatalist lyrics. what's worse than failing? not even trying. he isn't trying to be a good influence or any sort of positive role model. is that a bad thing? should he be more brave? more humble? i think that is what he is asking. |

I still don't get it. (Suicide? Drugs? Surrealism?) But I love it.
To quote Rev. Maclean:
"we can still love them - we can love completely without complete understanding." |

I love this song but it has always been a mystery. You know something seedy and perhaps very disturbing is going on, but you aren't sure quite what.
Wedren recently had this enlightening bit to say about the song:
"It all connects up in a Rubik's Cube kind of a way," Wedren says of the song, which was originally written in 1993 with guitarist Nathan Larson. "It's playful, mischievous, sexual, dark, and unsettling. Is the subject dead? Or just asleep? Will she come to my woozy party? There will be kissing and licking. There's also a Geisha-like formality to it, a seduction dance."
He adds: "I think of 'Hit Liquor' as a ViewMaster reel. We supply the pictures, you supply the meaning." |

4 comments for maybe the best song ever.
raging bull you know what im talking about...such a great jam intro.
ok now for the song:
we are easily trapped by this idea that meaning in our lives is ascertained by time (past or future). to truly save our lives we must latch on to the present (in essence - timelessness). the consequences of this are immense, including a great devaluation of material possessions (such as houses). |

How I love this song. T-bag - yes you are dead on.
Who doesn't look back sometimes and cringe?
I may be totally off but I think the title may be a play on the title of this book about slavery in America:
http://www.amazon.com/There-River-Struggle-Freedom-America/dp/0156890895
"There are many well researched and documented instances of organized resistance as well as individual acts of rebellion. These make up the river of resistance that flowed and continues to flow in the presence of human bigotry and oppression." |

Talking about suicide and doing it are two very different things. It is the ultimate act of both bravery and cowardice. I think that is what he is getting at. Or perhaps he is questioning belief in an afterlife? |

Different people have different needs in regards to personal vs. relationship time. This song communicates that frustration in an awesome way. Everything from the lyrics to the production to the sound effects lends itself to the subject. |

always fucking loved this song.
i think it's "looking for the GOAT" and "drown IF you sink". I guess I could be wrong I haven't listened in awhile.
Anyway Sam seems pretty bitter about a choice someone has made... |

Mr fifths as in 'circle of fifths'. The inability to maintain relationships. An endless stream of ladies. What to do but put them in conventional (fifths) songs (set with fat chords in modern english). Mapping your emotions for the entertainment of others. Is that noble or cheap? |
