It's really nice to see that offensive, anti-Italian sentiments are still tossed about, as well as seeing 20th Century Ethiopia classified as "stone-age".  Are these basic tenets of Zen Objectivism?

Good song, by the way.

A beautiful, haunting little melody. Sure it's kinda simple and romantic and sad, but that's okay, time to time.

Tell them I am still here
That I stand on one leg while the other dreams,
That this is the only way
That the lies I tell them are different from the lies I tell myself..."

Very true on the latter part of your post. My point is don't fear your inner 'feminine' side; if you don't let yourself cry, you likely may not be able to 'get over it and move on'. That includes the most macho soldiers or policemen who have to deal with the death of their pals. Of course it's not appropriate for them to cry when their pal is shot and at that moment they're needing to neutralize a criminal or an enemy, but later when they're reflecting on their colleague and freind dying in action, it is appropriate. That's part of my point. It's scarring to repress that part of yourself to the point where if you do, then men really do act it out through violence, accidents, physical illness. Lots of research studies back that info up. That doesn't mean, as a guy, you should slobber your tears at everyone either. And a woman who's a real partner to a man will appreciate your humanity when you do show it appropriately, she doesn't want you crying at the drop of a a hat but most women don't want a guy who's stone cold all the time either. But moreso my point was directed at the kind of comments around here that too often say that some kind of band or song isn't manly because it expresses emotions that really the poster is afraid of, and covers over their fear by blurting out some ridiculous pseudo macho comment. It's a silly way to put a band down, and more revealing of the poster than the band or song. Your comment on the other hand was thoughtful and has my respect.

As if macho guys never get their hearts broken.

Of course they do, they just don't like to show it. Or they subvert their hurt into workaholism or fun activities like car crashes, serious illnesses, broken legs, fist fights and other stupidities. Wow, it's really absurd how afraid some guys are to have feelings. You know what, macho guys in places like Italy aren't afraid to cry. And like Michael Stipe said, everybody hurts, and he wasn't kidding, even though he was whining (actually I don't like that song much, but he was right.) Macho guys, it's ok if you pretend you never experienced this song— and it's ok if you cry in secret, we won't think you're any less masculine. It's really ok, really.

 

You need to date a better class of man.

Only losers drink, fight, break legs, etc. as you describe while the rest of us get up, get over it and get on with it in a productive and positive fashion, unlike the "dweebs" you criticize.

"Macho guys in places like Italy"'; wow, I'm impressed.  Italian men are so "advanced" and "with it" that during WW II they conquered a stone age level country (Ethiopia) and couldn't even hang on to that.  Today they're engaged in giving away their country to immigrants and having riots over Gypsy's while they fret over the cut of their silk cravat and elect Far Right Wing Revanchists.

Last time I saw a guy cry, all the women ran away screaming, looking for the neanderthal with the hairy chest and stoic manner who made their knees weak while "Mr. Sensitive" sat home and dated "Rosie".

Take all this tongue in cheek but the moral to my moralizing is simple; nothing is black or white and we all need to have balance in our lives in all aspects, including how we view each other when in emotional turmoil esp. when we say we want one type of person (while inside we actually want something different).

Until just now I've only heard this song as a "live" version on one of KCRW's "Morning Becomes Eclectic" compilations. The singer sounds hung over and there's no rhythm section- a completely different take on it. This studio cut is a big improvement- thanks Bill!

Not my favorite sebadoh song, but even their dogs are pretty good.

This song came out when I was going through a relationship where this song was pretty approppos... Not really pleasant.
