    after such a harrowing, painful album this track is specially harrowing. It feels almost common, but just out of the reach of normalcy. It sounds almost like a cry for help of someone who desperately desires to be normal and to be loved as such but feels not normal enough, and that unfulfilled desire speaks so much sadness and helplessness. And this hits specially hard after the whole album being an expression of pain and alienation.

    Xiu Xiu only gets more and more weird, and thats what makes them so good. But you really gotta be in the off mindset to them. With me I can't toss them on anyday I need to be in a mood to listen to them.

    This song is a perfect closer to this album I think. It's like a quiet reflection on the anxiety that the rest of the album brings. This will be on repeat for a while for sure. Also is the raspier singing voice a guest vocal or a sample?
    EDIT: just realized it's Eugene from Oxbow. So sick.

Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh

What have you become?
I can't say so
Yet run full-on to
Run towards nothing

No, yes, yeah, no, yes, no, what? No
Normal love, normal love
Normal love, normal love
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh

Spill Chum-Churum
Secrets of the Psalms

No, yes, yeah, no, yes, no, what? No
Normal love, normal love
Normal love, normal love

I want to pretend
But I cannot pretend
Want me to speak nor to blink
You don't want to feel attractive nor feel pride
I think, in the end, I don't need to feel pride

Normal love, normal love, normal love
Normal love, normal love, normal love
Normal love, normal love, normal love

I think I have shown
I don't need it to be fair
I think I have shown you
I don't need you to be kind
Just let me pretend
I have something to lose
Something

    For years I felt like a fake fan, but its hard to keep up with every artist. Now that I've finally listened to this. I can say this has overtaken "A Promise" As my favorite Xiu Xiu album. I would never be able to put into words how this album makes me feel or what it means but just know its fantastic and should be experienced.

    This song is one of the weirdest and creepiest songs on the album. It sounds so normal and innocent and only a little bit weird and broken. And that is so shocking and the scariest conclusion, compared to previous songs here. It's obvious that something is wrong. You can hear the techno from 2000s here.

I hope after I die, that you’ll be right there to hug me again, in your arms I never felt so safe. I guess, I realized that too late, I’m sorry I wasn’t there for you that night, I’m sorry I was so tired and restless and enamored, apathetic and impatient, I’m so sorry I was rude and I really do love you, I know you knew that, I really do know that you knew that… I love you, Rob! I’m trying to be happy but it’s hard, I thought you would never leave me. I hope you can read this somehow.

      Aw man feels bad you didn't get a kick out of it. I loved it a lot, maybe my fave Xiu Xiu record so far, though I'm farely new to Xiu Xiu (also heard Forget, The twin peaks record and Angel Guts Red Classroom). I guess that when you have such a diverse discography, you garner a lot of different fans and can't please everyone with every new release.
