Buffalo Tom have a wonderful ability to convey an emotion without telling directly what it is. The lyrics to Mineral don't give a lot away but I do identify with it somehow. What comes across to me is the feeling of nervous dread at facing someone but you know that you have too. Maybe a relationship is ending or it's a relationship that's never really begun
It sounds as if it's happening in a kitchen at a party and the two people aren't really allowed to say what they really mean and that creates a little bit of unspoken tension.
Why the song is called "Mineral" and has the lyric "You're so green" in not sure but Emerald is a green mineral. I have a feeling though that it is something between Bill Janovitz and who the song is about.
"Another very personal one. I actually felt that people would recognize themselves in songs like this and confront me on it. Still nothing. Maybe they don't listen" ~ Bill Janovitz.
