Liz Phair - Help Me Mary

[lyonslaforet]

Exile In Guyville is one of the most momentous albums released in 1993.

What did she do to herself :(

[Exilemainstreet]

I haven't heard this in years (where's my CD), but I still think about her. She was life changeing for me!

[riskybubble]

Is it just me or does this song tell about bullying? Well I've been through that and no other song has described my feelings about it so well as this... The last four lines are my favorite:

I'm asking you, Mary, please

Temper my hatred with peace

Weave my disgust into fame

And watch how fast they run to the flame

I think I love this song! :)

[alexandradeyl]

love thi album, this song her... and the album title. if i had any musical talent and was going to release an album, id call it "exile in humanityville" (i guess 'society' would actually make sense)

[sixtyeightspecial]

She never came anywhere near reaching these heights again but it is a brilliant record.

[Terikan2]

sounds like shit.

[expat74]

Probably this track and gunshy are my best from the album oh and canary

[Ldale11]

not Shatter?

[expat74]

Oh yes how could I forget

[qbblizzard]

the vaselines.

[philbio66]

what did they do for the reissue?

[CharlieWaters]

They added 3 new tracks (some of them were on girlysound EPs a while ago) and there's a bonus DVD - The making of guyville.

[philbio66]

sounds great.

[Jake4992002]

This album made me who I am today.

[D1skobox]

one of the best albums of the 90's.

[Philip8510]

correction: the greatest album of ALL time

[CharlieWaters]

Same here, but it's not out in the UK until the 25th of August! I couldn't wait so I got a pre-order :D
