This song is really beautiful. It does a great job portraying how the mother-daughter bond can triumph over adversity.
I adore and praise this man!
Steve Albini has never been married, and has been in a serious relationship for over 10 years. This song is no more autobiographical than him talking about washing out his truck after committing a murder in "Fish Fry" by Big Black.
It is, however, the perfect example of his ability to examine both the normal side of humanity and the dark sides we don't like to admit. The thought of someone actively praying to god for another's death does not sit well with most, but for a person in such an emotional situation, it makes perfect sense. I also think it's interesting how Albini shows the confused nature of tumultuous emotions: at the same time the character is praying for the death of his ex-girlfriend, due to her betrayal, he still obviously loves her and prays for it to be painless. Imagine the torment of this situation...
actually, the singer's wife cheated on him. He was not pleased, apparently.
yes. and rockout chloroform. it's so powerful. first song i ever heard by shellac and it was accidently. so, my amazement was. achk. can't describe it. he's beautiful.
