Truth. I get a bit emotional every time I hear Kim sing these lyrics. I don't glitter like the stars above I don't glow, like neon alone. |

The only 2 albums I don't like are Rather Ripped and Sonic Nurse. The Eternal should have been their next record after Murray Street and then Kim and the rest of the band should have kicked Thurston out of the band and decided to call themselves Body/Head. After that Thurston, if he was the gentleman he says he is, should have joined the Vivian Girls and produced another return to form by Bob Dylan or Patti Smith.

It did. fucked me up like it does any morning I put that on when I'm trodding on the light-rail before dawn getting off to work.. "on a free lane.." while I stare out the window half-awake watching people suffer through insufferable traffic day after day.. that is a moving album. My top current five? 1) Sonic Nurse 2) A Thousand Leaves 3) NYC Ghosts and Flowers 4) Day Dream Nation 5) Rather Ripped

It's the self-confidence that makes women look beautiful! No matter how beautiful body or face (in conservative way) you have if you're ashamed of yourself. Kim Gordon is self-confident woman and looks beautiful although she's already 60 years old and looks of her age.

Hold the fuck up. I never meant to suggest that she was ugly or lacked beauty, just that she definitely to me shows her age

I do too, but its only because one way or another in 2004 we all thought this song was about Kurt Cobain, and we as much as they truly miss him.

I think all Sonic Youth songs are about Kurt Cobain, I think they said that in an interview.

No, that one's about Kurt Cobain too, look:
If I could give you anything I would give you a kick You'd rather have a dollar Than a hug from your sis -self explanatory, Kurt Cobain wanted to be a successful rockstar so bad he sacrificed his relationship with his family, even his sister (his favourite relative) You really fucked up this time Your old lady's really pissed She's not just laughing She's polishing her fist -Kurt Cobain did something and it pissed off Courtney Love and she hit him (she's famous for having a bad temper and hitting people) If you could give me anything Would you consider a fist? Don't give me yr soul It's caught is an abyss -Kurt Cobain is dead and his soul is trapped in the abyss, because of this he hasn't been able to give anyone anything but he's had plenty of time to think about it now (9 years) Here's a pack of ciggies Fresh from the wonder lips A dream, a wish, a heart's desires Cinderella is a kiss -Kim Gordon is giving a pack of cigarettes to Kurt Cobain because he smoked, and it's better than giving him heroin (even though it was his favourite thing) A cold is gonna take you And freeze away your tears Come a little closer honey You can be so near -Kurt Cobain suffered from depression so he cried a lot, but the cold of the abyss froze his tears, Kim Gordon is saying if he came back she'd be nice to him and cheer him up by melting his frozen tears with the warmth of her body Mind your heart aside you (?) Really got no sense of time (?) Ninety-nine inside you (?) That I'm scared if you were cryin' -Don't know what this means, probably private stuff (private between friends, Kurt Cobain and Kim Gordon were friends before he killed himself) If I could give you anything I would give you a kick You'd rather have a dollar Than a hug from your sis -Kurt Cobain's family are pissed off at him for prioritising his career over seeing his family, which is kind of what made him kill himself, they want to give him a bloody good kick up the arse! A cold is gonna take you And freeze away your tears Come a little closer honey We can be so near - People always thought Kurt Cobain had a cold because he always had a runny nose, but it was really due to the side effects of heroin, Kim Gordon is offering to put some honey in his tea as this is good if you've got the sniffles |

If SY's songs were about Kurt then you have ruined my favorite band.

I think that 'Junkie's Promise' is the only song about Kurt.

To quote Goodbye 20th Century: "Although Moore denies Cobain is the subject of 'Junkie's Promise,' their late friend's spirit nonetheless hung over the song (particularly the chorus line, 'I heard you say, 'You know I hate myself,' which seemed to reference Cobain's 'I Hate Myself and I want to Die')." |

I think SY has known a lot more junkies than just Kurt.

A little known fact is that Junkie's Promise is the only SY song that isn't about Kurt Cobain, it's actually about Kim Gordon coming off heroin when she discovered she was pregnant. Have you ever noticed how from Washing Machine onwards Kim's vocals sometimes sound a little strained? That's because she didn't have any heroin to relax her during the stressful recording process.
