about

You know when you’re swimming at the beach, and you suddenly hit a patch of water that’s significantly colder than whatever you were just swimming through? That same thing happens with the thoughts our hero finds himself thinking, sometimes.

When Jean finished the first take of her violin part on this, we told her how great we thought it was. She said, “So you like it emotional, huh?” Tim said, “Yes, ‘emotional’ is the perfect word for what it needed, and what you did.” She said, “Well, I was told never to use the word ‘cheesy.’”

lyrics

LYRICS

It’s a feeling you can’t fight
It gets strongest late at night
It’s why we drink
It’s the next world after this
It’s a frightening abyss
You’re on the brink

But you fight it anyway
Cuz that’s just how you’re made
And why you’re weird
You don’t seek any reward
But you’d like if someone scored
And people cheered

Swam through a cold patch yesterday
It paralyzed me briefly
The things we’re looking forward to
Just bring us closer to the end

It's the essence of TMJ to follow up a smart song about the need to forge new memories with a killer that grooves on everything great and awful about the 1970s. Brash, confident, and deeply pleasurable -- and its vibe is punctured by the new old b-side's warning "living backwards in time/losing your mind." As always, TMJ has it all ways, beautifully. Alan S
