Episode one hundred and sixty-four is up now! Today's song is Lua by Bright Eyes.

I discuss the soft, vulnerable lyrics about the destructive nature of addiction, and how this song always stood out to me from this album.

I discuss the bare-hearted emotional lyrics, and wht the music video always makes me weep.

#NowListening to #ImWideAwakeItsMorning by #BrightEyes, the fourth offering included in this week’s #VinylMePlease bundle.

This is an album that I know well & love. I’ve other pressings with which to compare (incl. the 2005 #BernieGrundman cut). To my ears, the #VMP wins out: more dynamic with greater depth. The 2005 cut always struck me as a little flat.

The album itself is a modern classic imo - #FirstDayOfMyLife & #Lua are both stunningly good.
