Guided by Voices - Smothered in Hugs

[LolaLovesBass]

this is beautiful.in every way

[FuttBucker667]

Its imperative to follow this song up with listening to "yours to keep".

[NirvanaNerd364]

woah howd you get it to soud this good?not that its super amazingly different from whats on the album but you know.

[rosncrantz13]

<3 lo fi

[LOCALH2525]

i agree with rottenification. but this is really good to.

[Thexxman123456]

I absolutely love this. The chorus hook is the kind of thing that sticks with you for days at a time.

[doomslang]

2 people are horrible.

[poolsidenyc]

Doesn't it just hit you at the right time....every time.

[htmtiger]

Hell yes!

[rottenification]

Local h is better

[leoantonio]

Too painful to hear this without, "Yours to keep" with it. They're inseparable.

[dubconcrete]

the sunshine fund was low... we couldn't greet you with a simple hello

[alauclair]

i hope one day i can do something that is 1/10th as beautiful is this song is

[8sk8r]

@alauclair

Give Me a Break. Its just a song. Barely.

[JudahBrewer]

can't wait for the lips version on the gbv tribute

[zazeify]

fab song.

listen closely to the stellar bass work by Dan Toohey

[PaddyFinnlike]

This song always reminded me of Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand.

[DMBloomfield]

I always assumed this was solace for a friend who was dealing with their own insignificance and depression resulting from it. Doesn't seem like a drunken rant or wacky at all.

[danafo81]

@DMBloomfield  Exactly.

[kc7fys]

@DMBloomfield That's hopeful, and yeah, maybe the case. But Pollard's compositions are largely an amazing "word salad." He's just good at putting together thematic phrases that sound great over stuff--like this amazingly simple riff.

[GBVGBVGBVGBV]

Oh well, forget the vid.. At least we are treated to one of the wackiest & best lyrics EVER written! i will play Robert Pollard for as long as i shall live!

[poolsidenyc]

God yes.

[ALLTHATSDOPE]

In a drunken haze, I'm gonna cry.

[kyuii]

love this one
