that caught your eye.

that you thought broken
and you were not fine.

to
bring out
this
awful bliss

to
bring out
your
awful bliss

no i
wouldn't
dare
to
bring out
this
awful bliss

Thanks. I've been looking for this for a long time.

Tobin Sprout.............The Keith Richards of GBV

[Thisisquitealongname]

1 minute of song = 2 minutes of goosebumps

[TiagoAPH]

here's a lesson about how awesome an one-minute song can be.

Anyone else feels that Tobin's voice doesn't match his body frame ? Hearing him sing I cannot help imagining a skinny guy.

Another hit from tobin, one of my favorites. Thx for the post. Take care, j

I love the sound of the chair squeaking at the end.

@RulerOFmany Yeah, every single song is amazing, other albums have a lower hit rate and it's nice when a band do a perfect album. Like SLint or Pixies. There must be others?

Tobin Sprout is legendary

[zazeify]

couldn't quite put my finger on what was missing on later-GBV records.

Then it dawned on me, listening to this, What was missing was Toby.

[zazeify]

This song is fighting valiantly to be my favorite GBV song.

Ray Davies? O_o

Seriously, it does kind of sound like him on this one and Esther's Day. Good stuff. I love GBV. :)
