Anyone want to talk about this Kristin Hersh song?
Solar dip

Everybody's soaking wet, ready for the solar dip
It was so easy to fly, it was so easy to fly
Thunder in the blue sunshine
When did this city die?
I'm sick of turning you off
I'm sick of turning you off

After an afternoon of insatiable begging
Every frenzy is real
Skin is singing, hands are burning
Everybody is healed
I am good enough for someone, good enough for you

Flown way out in space
Who's on your tapes?
Who's in your wall?
Who's in your way?
Who keeps you soft?
Who makes you late?
Who do you call when you're ok?
And when you're not?
I'm so mad i could spit
I'm so mad i could spit

I don't invite chaos
It's just that they hate us
I'm sick of pissing them off
I'm sick of pissing them off

After an afternoon of mysterious fighting
Every frenzy is real
Skin is singing
Hands are burning
Everybody is healed
I am good enough for someone
Good enough for you

Flown way out in space
Who's in your face?
Who's in yoru heart?
Who do you pay?
What have you got?
Who complicates your easy plot?
Who hesitates and then you're lost?

3. It's on the newest Throwing Muses album..
...which was recorded December, 2001...so that gives some insight into the song.

When I first heard the album, I didn't like it. But now I love it. I thought it was too much of a throw-back to the mid-eighties. I thought it was devolved. But I was way off. What it is, is raw as hell.

Her lyrics are so amazing. Cryptic, but specific. I love Ani DiFranco's September 11th song. I guess it's actually not fair to compare it to this one. Their both necessary in their own way.

5. I'll have to check this out. Thanks!
The only time I listen to music much, anymore, is when I'm driving. I generally turn on this oldies station, hoping they'll play Rhiannon! LOL!:D

4. I love her too.
I've loved her since I picked up The Fat Slier import at The Turntable my Senior year of High School.
