Sebadoh - Too pure

[vortie8]

what a lovely song.

[tigerthommy]

my personal fav is jealous of jesus

[FSBass]

We were in a second-hand music shop with a friend when we heard this album and looked at each other like "WTF?! This is awesome !"

We went to the seller and he gave me a paper with the name on it.

It was one year and a half ago, and I just take the time to listen to this today, and... WTF?! This is awesome !

[bearsbearsbears]

I remember my first breakup and this song and album on repeat, before and after the boyfriend! We were both fans and went to see Sebadoh perform at the Galaxy in Santa Ana CA. I waited to talk to Lou Barlow after the show to ask if he wrote this song and other material about his wife. Looking back he was so sincere to answer some tactless teenager's questions, that is the kind of person he is - true artist. And before the internet blew up anyone who could write a song and post it on YOUtube

[itsinthewaterbby]

dude seriously, this song gets me like no other...agh absoulutly love it <3

[whheezzzz]

fuckin A lou barlow kicks my ass and puts me down all at the same time... anyone who takes the time to acualy listen to them will make anything else seem inferior

[SirCosmoBonsor]

Thanks, OP. This is a very special song for me, and I'm sure for many others. Hard to get hold of too, so thanks again.

[navroful]

Whoosh.

[ceespuke]

top tune , brings back the old days

[mamagehtessen]

i were born at the wrong place in the wrong time...

[greatexpectat1ons320]

This song totally describes me right now.

[hoops120]

saw these guys at manchester academy in 2005, on my own couldnt get anyone to go.

they were brilliant and this was the first song.

[morrisdracula]

@hoops120 I saw them in Glasgow a couple of years ago- and was on my own for the same reason!- just found out they are playing in Edinburgh in August- is gonna be awesome- maybe some new stuff out too...?

[66420192]

Dammit Lou, you melt my heart.

[snakefistfighter]

Still makes me cry when I hear this song SO DEEP!!

[funkyradbomtrack]

When my searches using ¬zebedoh¬ came up with nothing i started to worry that i might have hallucinated the band all those years ago! ( i was smokin large quantities of weed back then! ) lol

[ryex76]

yeah! nice song..really

[ZabicTV]

great song. and, funkyradbomtrack, your comment is the funniest thing i read today!

[funkyradbomtrack]

fantastic band! just rediscoverd them after almost 10 years was searchin for them using "zebedoh" for ages! i really am a twatt!!!!!

[NMerenda1]

@funkyradbomtrack NO YOU'RE NOT you're into zebadoh!!!! therefore you rock!! have you checked out "The Sebadoh" some of the "newer" stuff....you won't be dissapointed!!!

[ninive207]

@funkyradbomtrack twatt!!! :PPP

[TheSpankymonkey]

@funkyradbomtrack . I think that is quite a fair assessment. But hey, look at this way, at least you are now a twat with great music!

[666lenn]

@funkyradbomtrack never too late geezer

[kmacmuzikmafia27]

@funkyradbomtrack

Thank you for making my day, LOL. Don't worry...for ages whenever people talked about Joy Division's "Love Will Tear Us Apart," I thought they were talking about INXS' "Never Tear Us Apart."

[fffreeak]

what year was this song released?

[sharkriver84]

it`s a really good song i explored it in a skatefilm called "church of skatan" so good!!

[chrisparrent]

One of my favourite songs written by anyone. What a jem.

[Evilushka]

This song was like my theme song when I had a heroin addiction...Yeah it's obviously about that but written in such a beautiful way...

[julianofsatown]

@Evilushka

haha i always thought this song was about weed i guess thats more a hardcore addiction

[NMerenda1]

@Evilushka good to hear it was WHEN....re the addiction. good work!! you should be proud. almost all of his stuff has a metaphore to H doesn' it?

[lifesucker67]

I mean WHAT A GREAT SONG....Sorry...

[lifesucker67]

What a grat song.....thaks Lou Barlow..

[PersonalRobotJesus]

I always feel internal conflict when I hear a song that pegs my emotional state; on the one hand, it's comforting to know someone else has been in my shoes. On the other, I get frustrated that a song for my troubles has already been written by someone else.

This is a song I feel empathizes with me at the moment. I'd love the chance to ask Lou Barlow about the inspiration behind it.

[boomajang]

sure thing

[ichibadbad]

yeah i love sebadoh and dinosaur jr too!!

i guess its a pretty common thing to like them both.

[wackoboy]

and folk implosion?!

[flargoniaia]

another of my personal favorites is shiny around the edges. my brother played drums with them for a while. he's in the holly roller album

[flargoniaia]

sebadoh and dino jr. are both awesome, definitely some of my favorites.

[kicksex]

love this whole album

classic rock for our generation!

[moondogg43]

Amen to that...

[fffreeak]

where are these guys now?

[joheyv]

these guys choke you up b/c they do perfect punk, power pop and emo ballads. they choke me up all the time...

[kicksex]

did i hear that they got back together for one more tour/ show recently?

[christo1]

Why does this song give me shivers and choke me up?  God, it's a good one.

[acidxtasy999]

Brilliant song but Dino Jr were different not better -id put them both up high on that platform in my mind - for me the 3 are the best - together they are jusl like heaven

[shibumison]

I haven't heard this song in such a long time and I wonder why.

[walrusbreath]

all sebadoh shit is good dinosaur jr got a few but withot lou, j lost a lot

[kicksex]

i kind of know what you mean but the more I listen to the new dino jr i like it more.....i have to admit that their stuff with lou is still my favorite

[walrusbreath]

sad,horrible shit but right on, lost a girl so special to me because of being the person in this song i fuckin love it

[walrusbreath]

if theres a right thing to say im sure i missed it by a mile

[a7d9]

Terrific song and also true lyrics. You can never be too pure or too connected. Thx for posting.

[atdi72]

I have always loved Sebadoh. Honest music and heartfelt songs. Some of the best songwriting ever in my not so humble opinion. :)

[jkoff76]

One of the most personal and nakedly emotional I have ever heard.

[sickpoola]

@jkoff76 absolutely agree!!!!!!!
