Every time I hear that first chord, something is tugged inside of me. It's such an animalistic kind of thing to me, I'm not sure why.
It's obviously about a relationship.
Did anyone else notice: almost all of Ani's songs about men are angry and raw, while her songs about women are soft, delicate, forlorn? Take "She Says," for example. It's mournfully beautiful, soft, and gentle. While, I don't know, "Gravel," is so angry and brutal, kind of showing how her songs reach both ends of the spectrum and still flow easily together.
I think this song's about an affair, where there was another woman. A husband isn't loyal to his wife, with a woman (Ani?) on the side. The mistress wants him to be more affectionate, giving him her all, but he still stays stoic and hard to crack.
