This is the perfect example of a Morphine song I don't listen to by choice.

I was listening closely to the lyrics and I noticed he is singing about an ex who is now a celeb. Is this based on a real experience?

One of their better songs. If you haven't heard it before, I'd recommend checking out Greg Laswell's cover of this song. You can hear it on Amazon.com.

Learning to play the mandolin, so my ear caught this one. Hadn't heard it before. Looked up and saw Morphine on the read out from Winamp and thought WTF? The mandolin player is Jimmy Ryan. I just had to know. |

This song was a nice change of pace on this album. Presumably an intentional attempt to shake up the mood. Good stuff! |

I was going to say: "Is that a guest vocal by Leonard Cohen?"

Surprisingly nice tune from the opiate guys. Wish he hadn't attempted to sing, so that the melody could be enjoyed unimpeded by the rasping noise.
