This song could be a mission statement for Quasi, with their usually meloncholy lyrics riding over jaunty, bluesy, raucous rhythms, a kind of joyful nihilism.
I’m not sure I agree with misterspaceman’s interpretation of the sun as God, as many other Quasi songs, Sea Shanty, A Case of No Way Out, seem to paint Coomes as an atheist, but I guess it’s possible.
I do agree that Quasi are underappreciated. "featuring Bird" is one of the essential indie-rock records of all-time. Buy it today!
