Sebadoh - Too pure

Sebadoh, one of the most touching lo fi band. A great song from their LP "Harmacy".

"Is something missing in my touch, a tension tugging at my smile?
If there's a right thing to say, I'm sure I missed it by a mile
Swallowed in some detail, heavy in my blood
I wanna hold you close, but I can't lift my arms up
Is there a reason for this distance?
More than the drug that floats my days
A nervous bug in my system, it keeps me edgy and ashamed
I've got a saint, never ever will forgive
That never understood me but still tells me how to live
It fits when I stretch and I stretch because I can
I stretch until I'm sore and then I open up for more
I do it out of habit, not addiction
And if I give it up, clean out my blood
Will I still feel bored and disconnected?
If I do it all for love, will I ever give enough?
'Cuz you can never be too pure or too connected
You can never be too pure or too connected
You can never be too pure"

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 !

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

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."
