Why is there always this one reliably omnipresent commenter on Cave songs (and elsewhere) that assume this exaggeratedly astonished tone in their "general comment" simply because they're the first to comment? Is it really that unrealistic that no SongMeanings user had yet taken the time to type out their fleeting thoughts on one of the more underrated or underappreciated Bad Seeds' tracks, of which there are dozens? Or was it that these "first" commenters wanted to emphasize their supposed ingenuity or exceptional spiritual depth for deflowering a specific song page's comment section? As a cynical prick, I'm guessing the latter. I shouldn't get pissed off at internet ghosts, but fuck that. I've seen the same sort of comment across scores of lyrics pages today and I'm sort of sure Cave couldn't give a fuck who comments on these pages, when they do, and in which order. I'm all for music lovers showing outwardly direct support for the music they love, but I hate when it becomes some strange pseudo-popularity contest or race to say something all Cave listeners already know; when these first comments consist of statements of the artist in question's genius, and they usually do, I can't help but cringe at the ironically cliched emptiness. I'm clearly a monstrously insecure, sexually repressed, and pitifully friendless human being for typing all this, but it's nice to know your words exist somewhere in the universe. I guess I have more in common with these first commenters than I thought.
um... but this is an awesome song. I'm using it rather shamelessly in a playlist based on the film Nymphomaniac.

Shamelessly was the right word......
