| Frightened Rabbit – Poke Lyrics | 14 years ago |

I worked in a factory when this album came out with a whole mess of surly strong bearded men, and while I was on the sublimator machine, they'd let me wear headphones. When I first heard this song, I started to cry (totally oblivious that they could all see me perfectly). When I looked up there was an enormous production worker staring at me like he was about to have to beat the masculinity back into me. I've tried since to get him to listen to the song but I think he fears he may start to cry to, and have to rethink his whole image. Just a funny story. To remain germane, this is also my favorite Frightened Rabbit song. Absolutely beautiful. Possibly the most relatable song for anyone who is having trouble letting go of their first/most significant relationship. "I hate when I feel like this, and I never hated you" is when the song finally drops all metaphor and just calls this terribly sad spade exactly that... and oh man, I just lost it. Thanks, FR for keeping songwriting intimate. |
