Song Of The Day - Day 190

Today's song is...


Contrecoup


Good song. Excellent example of Linnell's way with words. I enjoy the guitar part and the sped up tempo thing at the end. Not counting the original radio performance, I was there the first time this was performed live at a show. I have no memory of it and have never heard it again, which is kind of sad.

  1. I remember loving this song when it was released on the podcast. I distinctly remember listening to this very early in the morning before school very early on in my high school career. For a while I preferred the version on 6B than I did to the one on The Else. I've learned to love both.

  2. Love this one! Love the subject matter, the way the lyrics portray it, the melody, and the sped-up tempo thing! As reluctant as I am to choose favorites in general, this may be my favorite song from The Else.

  3. Man it's funny. It's a damn good song, but because it's sitting on The Else, it's hard to rise above the rest. I don't really like the sped up ending so much if I think about the song on its own, but when I think about it as a part on the album, I like it again :-) . Fun lyrics, and I like how the chorus gets longer.
