Strawberry Wine

Kevin Shields : It's about how I used to wander up and down this street where this girl lived, who I was obsessed with: my head was full of dreams of her, but all the time the reality of the situation was me tramping up and down this dirty, miserable street.

This song best embodied spring time just turning the corner, that girl you really really loved but couldn't tell anyone, that cool feeling in the air. The jangly, eastern motif guitars are the only link MBV had to the rest of the UK pop scene at the time. Very pop-py but still lovely. It would only get denser and fuzzier from here.

misty morning in the springtime cold and crystal eyes on the dark side where the light shines please stay with me tonight these lips will find strawberry wine

i was looking at your window broken glass beneath my feet cherry apples, long grass meadows close your eyes for dreams in sleep these lips will find strawberry wine

misty morning in the springtime broken glass beneath your feet on the dark side let the light shine think of me, don't let me sleep these lips will find strawberry wine

My favorite MBV song, as unpopular as it may seem.

Me too actually. But my favorites keep changing.
