This is such a gorgeous heart-wrenching song.. Probably one of the most affecting songs I've ever heard. Pretty impressive for just a distorted guitar and voice, but that's the power of Ween and Gener's awesome vocals. What I wonder is if this really was as personal as it sounds.. I could never figure out if the intro ("Paiiinn") was sarcastic or not. Really sounds directly from the heart and it kills me every time.
I'm not too sure about the Pain intro either but I get the feeling it's sort of honest but in a faux-sarcastic way. Like laughing at yourself for how pathetic you feel, but knowing you really do feel that way. I've gotten that way a couple times, where I feel so shitty I just say like "huh this doesn't feel good" and sort of laugh at the understatement even though it's not really funny at all (but that's why it is)
