I'll Be Sad In Heaven

Still one of my favourite songs ever. This version is way simpler, doesn't have any of the corny instruments and stuff. I think it's the best example of a Replacements song. Awesome lyrics, rad guitar riffing.

I think that if you know the context of the song it makes it way better. It's a about a kid thinking to himself while on a drive to a water tower to jump off and commit suicide. So with that in mind, I think the ending of the song "Climb on to the top of this scummy water tower, screamin' "I can't hardly wait 'till it's over"" is pretty fucking gnarly. For me, it really paints a picture in my mind the kid actually doing it.

Fuck this song's awesome.
