the intro to Pink Steam...whoa! & then the guitar part that adds such a feel along with the rhythm of the lyrics...& Thurston is one of the very few artists that can write about L-O-V-E sincerely & also unabashedly sexually at the same time, clearly establishing the feel on the spiritual plane of it all.
be prepared, becuz the next sy album is gonna be one of their greatest
when i first heard lights out, i was like, "this shit is strange for an sy album...what the fuck is this?" but now i see it as a great song & it would make the best closer ... even with the obvious pun...
speaking of those
(obvious puns)
what a waste is indeed a waste & "a spectacular dud" to quote a lyric...meant to serve as filler?...heaven forbid, on an sy release...
back to:
Lights Out
that song has a quasi-resonance with Little Trouble Girl as such a masterstroke musically (if only it was the closer) .... it's sparse on yr typical sy sounds, but it is genuinely haunting & that says a lot for a song called "Lights Out"////.,l!
