When she sings, "You thought you saw a body on the beach / we got closer, it was just a tire/ and you were disappointed, I could see", I can't tell if she's bringing that up because it's a sign that the dude is a bad dude or not. Because seriously, if you thought you saw a dead body on the beach, and then it turned out to just be a dumb tire, you would be wicked pissed. Probably a little relieved, too, but mostly pissed.
Ease up on the value judgments here Tanya Donelly.
Also, a quick note about the videos: I try to put up a video of the studio recording whenever possible, since that recording is what gave the song its place on the 500. If there's a live recording that's demonstrably better than the studio version, I'll post that (like "These Days", R.E.M., and the #2 song is a live performance of a cover song *spoiler*). But Warner Bros. disabled embedding on the official video to this song. Typical backwards record industry bullshit. They spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on a video, and then make it harder for people to see it. Yeah, maybe 20 people (hopefully a lot more, but I'm being modest) will read this and watch the video, but what does Warner gain by me posting a live performance?
If any of the Warner brothers care to contact me about this, please send me an email. I have opinions!
