Seen Kris and The Ataris live multiple times, and anyone with any familiarity with the band will tell you that Kris is notorious for his temper. Well, saw them performing one night in a local dive bar, to a pretty mediocre size crowd who knew next to nothing about this band. About halfway through the set, Kris, clearly agitated, says something to the effect of, "Well, I guess we'll play the one fucking song that you guys actually know," as they begin this song. You couldn't even be upset with the guy because he was so right. |

| The Ataris – When All Else Fails, It Fails Lyrics

Amazing song. That line in there, "Did I fail you? Well, you failed me too," just breaks my heart every time. Wanted to point out the line in there, "The demand to be loved is the greatest arrogance," obviously derived from "The demand to be loved is the greatest of all arrogant presumptions," which is Nietzsche. I don't think there's much to try and figure out about the songs Kris writes. All of his lyrics are simple to understand, yet somehow he manages to just grab ahold of you with every line. Hugely underrated song on a hugely underrated album from a hugely underrated band. |
