Wild Nothing is 21-year-old Blacksburg, Virginia songwriter Jack Tatum (aka Jack And The Whale aka a member of Facepaint). Yeah, another one man band. But no, not just another one man band. Instead of doing the fuzzy lo-fi thing, Tatum wraps his elastic voice in a dramatic dream-pop haze. (Or in a song like "Live In Dreams" you hear bedroom Marr and Moz.) In an interview he mentions the Cocteau Twins along with Shop Assistants, My Bloody Valentine, and, yes, the Smiths (plus the Radio Dept. and other Swedish pop-makers) as influences. To give you more of an idea he covers Kate Bush's "Cloudbusting." To give you even more of an idea...

  • I love this song. I love Wild Nothing. Perfection!

  • one word......masterpiece!

  • @pistolpimp36 this is the 3rd interpretation of the lyrics i've read re: "cradle life" and "i won't be late"

  • Oh, shut up, all of you. I don't mind you having such personal feelings about this song, but keep it private. I don't need you publicly ejaculating all over something that actually means something to me, and I don't need to feel like something I love is also loved by a bunch of people with the mentality of 14-year-olds. It's almost to the point where I don't look up songs I like on YouTube anymore. Just shut the fuck up. "I cried when I heard it, so beautiful!" Just fuck off with that shit.

  • I cried as soon as I heard it. There's just that something in it. Thanks a bunch for sharing the lyrics, they're so hard to get!

  • These Lyrics are awesome but yeah pretty sad. Still an amazing song though:

    Boys don't cry ; they just want to die

    Stumble and cough and cradle life

    will you look ino my eyes? Will you be my main drag?

    Box of all of your things with tape . Write your address and I won't be late.

    Can I Still be your pessimist?
