Brilliant song, brilliant album.  I've said it before: If you don't like this album, you don't like music.  : ) 

 
Couldn't agree more. Can't tell the same about their other albums but this album is one of the best I've ever bought!

From the Wikipedia entry on Mark Sandman:
Sandman collapsed on stage on July 3, 1999 at the Giardini del Principe in Palestrina, Latium, Italy while performing with Morphine. His death, at the age of 46, was as a result of a heart attack. He was survived by his girlfriend Sabine Hrechdakian, parents Robert and Guitelle Sandman and sister Martha Holmes. Morphine disbanded following his death, although the surviving members briefly toured with other musicians, as Orchestra Morphine, a tribute to Sandman and in support of the posthumous release, The Night. His death has been attributed to cigarettes, heavy stress and the temperature of over 100 degrees on the night of his death.

Here are some things I've said before:

"I don't need to wear a condom, I mean, when am I going to be in West Africa again?"

"I know we just met in this bar, but if you say your cousin's a good contractor, that's all I need to hear."

"There's no way a black man will get elected President of the U.S. - not in a million years."

"Nobody wants to watch a show about mobsters. Their moral ambiguities just won't make for good drama."

And finally...

"Asians can't play basketball."

To the best of my knowledge, Mr Sandman was not a junkie, and as a listener commented, died of a heart attack associated with a congenital heart problem during a performance.

Yes, hence the use of the reed in the mouth piece.

Me too. I love how it often sounds like vinyl played at the wrong speed. And this is just sublime for a quiet late Sunday night.

Great song

Was lucky enough to see Morphine in a small venue in Cambridge, around 1994 or so.
