mike doughty – unsingable name


alright…forget the fact that this cat is literate like a poet, or that he counts the replacements and public enemy as two of his most influential groups of musicians, or that he implored the crowd in minneapolis to replace that desire to yell “freebird” during rock shows with cries of “it’s raining men.” forget soul coughing. forget dave matthews on his new record. forget his struggles with heroin since 1990. forget all that and just listen to this tune. the groove holds a hook that rises like a wave crashes on a sad beach and washes away the spot you saved for the girl you always wanted. words that know the sweet sadness of so much left unsaid and a heart broken by sunshine. but fuck it man, cuz that long bell’s lonely ring chimes over everything. i wanna split for singapore now.
