Storm Vibrations

Guided by Voices

Does she blend well?
Your choice, I mean?
Your angel baby monkey girl
The gift of smiles and love production
Her sunshine mind
Her storm cloud eyes
Blending colors into brown
Confusing emotions - deliberately
Does it hurt you?
To love, I mean?

And all the creases in your brow?
The red bed spread?
The storm vibrations?

The starless nights?
The shattered screen?

Allowing pain to enter
Let your guard/God down obviously

I will try to find you
No matter where you may go

It will try to find you
No matter who you may know

Does it hurt you?
To love, I mean?

    Robert Pollard wrote this song to help deal with the break up of his marriage. The lyrics are quite profound and follow the stages of the breakup. Denial: "Confusing emotions -- deliberatly" Sadness: "Allowing pain to enter" Trying to Understand: "Does it hurt you? To love, I mean?" This is one of the best songs, lyrically, done by Guided By Voices. Matt

    "I will try to find you No matter where you may go It will try to find you No matter who you may know" This is the most powerful moment of this great GBV song. Just Pollard playing arpeggios and his double-tracked vocals followed by Who-like drums and crunch chords of thunder. Absolutely incredible.
