Lyric discussion by IsaacS 

Cover art for Poledo lyrics by Dinosaur Jr.

This has always been one of my favorite dinosaur jr. songs.When I first got this album in '88 –my first ever by Dinosaur Jr.–this was the song that made me go, "Yeah, I got the right album".

As I listened to this throughout high school, I always like listening to this over and over until I fell asleep. I was just so peaceful and relaxing. I wasn't a Christian then, but I am now, but I'm not lying: when I would hear the parts where Lou is saying "Jesus", honest to God, I would feel a peace come into my room and I would sense a presence of a benevolent light. It made me feel safe, secure and completely protected. And like Lou says,"There's no evil here". Now I know why.

Even if Lou was stoned when he wrote this for a girlfriend, thanks Lou for writing it. I still love it 25 years later!
