  • I can't find the original interview online anymore but the story was: Corin saw an account Wolf Blitzer gave of seeing a woman in her car being hit by a train being played on a loop in a bar in Germany.

  • No she was walking home and didn't see the train.

    The yard was cold and dark/The tracks were clearly marked/But she was tired...she didn't see.

  • 2:10 AMAZING! I'M SO IN LOVE WITH THAT WOMAN!!!!

    I don't have any S-K footage or DVDs, it's SO depressing!:-(

    anyway I can't post the link BUT: google this "Sleater-Kinney spokane" (its 7 Music Sleater-Kinney), and it should lead you to the interview where Corin explained, basically what was already mentioned here.

  • Yeah apparently the video was played on repeat in bars as like "video of the week" or whatever aswell.. I can't find any of the stories now but if you google it, you'll find the file name for the video is something like "woman gets hit by train- FUNNY" or something equally ridiculous.

    But yeah, basically about how her pain was used as entertainment.

  • Someone correct me if I'm wrong...

    A woman committed suicide by jumping in front of a train, and her death was caught on film. Naturally, news stations began playing it a lot, and this song's about lightly everyone took their morbid curiosity.

    I can't find the interview where Corin talked about it. :\

  • What is it, exactly? The story, I mean? I've been wondering for some time now.

  • Absolutely amazing song; one of my favourites. The story behind it is so tragic.
