I find the lyrics a little silly
But the instrumentation is fantastic. The jazz drums, and that fantastic guitar solo at the end.
On a side note:
Everyone should own Knife Play. You don't need any other Xiu Xiu album if you own that.
The drums at the end are the best part
That song is possibly the bleakest song ever, it it weren't for Suha a few minutes later.
I <3 Knife Play. I'm gonna listen to it NOW.
:D
i'm enjoying your enthusiasum
this song is definitely good.
it was ten in the swear jar or ibopa song first
but the xiu xiu version is so much better, I think suha gives me the same feeling, I playeded it repeatedly at our new years eve party in a room i filled with black ballons because I was in a bad mood
haha
that may be the most emo thing I've ever heard.
Suha is fucking dark, though. I wish Jamie Stewart still wrote songs like that :(
I love this song
it never fails to make me feel funny inside.
I need Knife Play.
You do.
I downloaded the ibopa version last night
I danced, but then I felt bad.
it is a jig
fuck jigs, man.
Gay Gordon's WHERE IT'S AT.
