yea i lived in madison 3 years after this albums release in 83/82 they always played live alot in the great lakes area since it was were they were from so i got to see them twice once in madison,wisconsin,and once at the fine line in st paul aka twin cities they were great live alot of energy,peaceout
best song ever, not a big violent femmes fan but favorite song in the world, brian richie bass guitar solo, victor de lorenzo stirring the soup and gordan Gano singing and playing the guitar, dear lady won't you stay with me just a little longer it always seems like your leaving when i need you here just a little longer
So pure & genuine. Whats nice about songs is they are like paintings. This song meant a lot to me when I was in my late teens, all the way into my early college years. Now, much later in life I can still relate to this song, but with a whole lot more understanding & for a whole different reason. You are my love that I have waited for. My love extends across the ocean, for us! It does! I love you babe, deeply, I do!!!
Takes me back to Woodstock '94. Friday night, don't know how
I did it 'cause I was about two sheets to the wind, but I was in the woods when they came on and by mid set i was in the front row to enjoy it all. to this day still don't know how i got there. Maybe floated over the crowd. LOL!!
What i love about this whole album is that its timelessness. since it's release it seems each generation gets it and that is rare i bought the tape off a girl in high school In 1994 and it was pretty much the soundtrack of that time of my life, and kids now still find this album and it speaks to them on a personal level. I don't think too many albums are capable of that especially nowadays.
hehe im 14 and its one of my all time favs. reminds me of my girlfriend :D. and whever im sad,one hear of this song and life seems much brighter and more understandble.this album akmost like capured a portion fo mylife and truned it into music. if only i could do that with ym guitat :P i hope i could someday
Yep. The Doors dominated Forrest Gump's Soundtrack, but The Femmes without a doubt were a huge part of mine. I graduated highschool outside DC in Fairfax, Va in 92, and the years before and after were full of Femmes, Fugazi, Chilli Peppers, Etc...
When I was in high school, I played this cassette so much all the words wore off. I knew it was my VF tape because it was the solid white one in my case. Used to fast forward to this tune at night to go to sleep by. Awesome stuff! Brings back good memories.
Something everybody might know but the ones who don't:
The Violent Femmes, formed in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in 1980, are an American alternative rock band, noted for laying the groundwork for folk punk. The band has had four members: singer, guitarist and songwriter Gordon Gano, bassist Brian Ritchie, and two drummers, Victor DeLorenzo and Guy Hoffman.
i LOVE this song so much the violent femmes are one of the best bands ever kind'of a sad song but still one of the bests along with add it up and gone daddy gone
This is a great Violent Femmes songIt was my favorite for a long time until I heard "I know it's true, but I'm sorry to say". That is an AMAZING Femmes song. And as to what this song is talking about...It has nothing to do with Boners, or Women, or whatever other dumb shit people said. This song is about his true love.Heroin.You can hear it in his voice, him begging for just a few more moments of not feeling pain,the pain of losing his first true love,whoevever she was. Pick heroin over a whore.
I liked what I heard of this song in 'How I Met Your Mother' so decided to check it out. Really is a quality little song, despite what the subject matter may or may not be about! Does remind me a little of the Velvets
This is a total homage to Jojo Richman and the Modern Lovers - specifically "Girlfriend". if you like this, check their stuff out. You will be amazed.
oh....the early 90's in 6th grade. so nice. full circle.
