pretty much combining sex and religion here. Most of these lyrics come straight out of the bible, but the heart of it is about yearning for someone. This is one of the first songs I’ve written where I didn’t care if it made sense lyrically, just that the words felt good coming out of my mouth. That’s something I wanted to try after hearing Jeff Tweedy of Wilco talk about how he writes lyrics.

This was another one where James Treichler and I used quite a few samples and tried to give it more of an R&B feel. My guitarist Matthew Pittman came in and recorded this big nasty electric guitar over the whole song. James and I thought it was too much, so we muted it. But when we sent the record to Ken Coomer (producer and founding member of Uncle Tupelo & Wilco) to mix it, he unmuted it because he thought it gave it more of a ‘raw’ feel. He was right.
