@Johnnystrychnine sort of, but that's not really the word. because its humorous and serious without being ironic. you know those songs where, like, a white guy does an acoustic version of a gangster rap song? that's more what i associate with the word ironic: lameness.
@TheSarahFishers Description: Experimentation of analogue and minimalist sounds produced through meagre knowledge of scales. Utilizing basic key applications and combining the genres of electronic pop, experimental, garage and South American native meter. The tone color is unique and is not reflective of the punk wave of the period. All that aside, this song plays on and on even when my internet has switched off, after the song has fully loaded.
@Johnnystrychnine I just meant that it fits in so perfectly with that kind of late 50s doo-wop/ Roy Orbison/ teenage pop simplicity that is so epically in the tradition of American music. Even if it were a German band, it would still be American music and I'd love it! And I'm Canadian!!
For fans of Suicide, you may like to turn your attention to indigenous native music of the South Americas. The rhythmic patterns used in Suicide's musical pieces is reflective of the roots of idigenous percussive meter (time signatures). The additional application of faux organ gives their music a type of religious musical trance.
For all the folks that dissed Springsteen's interpretation of this tune on his Devils and Dust tour, it led me to this site. Awesome song. I'll get to digging into Suicide now.
interesting interpretation of the song. or should i say, interesting relationship with the song. i never thought of the song at all in that context. and i am very sorry about your mom.

who signed these anuses. I've got a band of tone deaf farting chickens who need to get signed, so i rekon i'll ust go to who ever signed these sausage rolls.
pure,crystal composition...but i really think,this is not even a "song" this is that feeling that we feel deep inside of us,but we never recogniseit ,never experience it's existence to the limits of our endless powers of joy.
Saw them live in the 1980's at NYC's Irving Plaza. Still moves me today. Three chords and a handful of words becomes a masterpiece that even Bruce Springsteen recognizes.
Utter masterpiece....one of the best and most movings songs ever written
