Liz Phair - "Soberish" Sync Listen Today 7:30pm! (1 Viewer)

[jivafox]

I love when she alternates from her high reedy voice to her lower register.

 

[jivafox]

5. Good Side

 

[BoysForSeles]

Good opening banshee lines here.

 

[jivafox]

She calls this one her "mature Fuck and Run"

 

[jivafox]

Why does the chicken cross the road?
Cause it wants to dig a Brad Pitt

 

[jivafox]

When you think back on us
I don't want you to feel bad
You'll find in due time
You're going to miss what we had
Gonna leave you with
Gonna leave you with

Gonna leave you with my good side

 

[jivafox]

6. Sheridan Road

 

[BoysForSeles]

When you think back on us
I don't want you to feel bad
You'll find in due time
You're going to miss what we had
Gonna leave you with
Gonna leave you with

Gonna leave you with my good side

I think it’s my indifferent side most exes would say here for me.

 

[Iguana]

Sheridan Road is very nice. It stuck out on my first listen

 

[jivafox]

Sheridan Road has really grown on me. I love that weird dual guitar strum.

 

[Iguana]

Almost a bit Sufjan?

 

[GNL]

I love strummy little songs like that last one. Lovely.

 

[jivafox]

7. Ba Ba Ba

 

[jivafox]

Stupid title aside this one is gorgeous too. So bright and BREEZY.

I don't have the guts to tell you
That I feel great
I feel safe I feel....

 

[jivafox]

Somewhere in time there's photographs of you and I
Kissing in the corridor

I love that lyric.

 

[jivafox]

8. Soberish

 

[BoysForSeles]

Alexa lost connection to the internet at the Sheridan Road point for me and my food arrived at the same time so it’s all GO here. I’m back.

 

[jivafox]

I thought this was a bit twee at first but then I literally went through the exact same scenario recently so it really has struck a chord with me and may be my favourite song on the album.

 

[jivafox]

Why do we keep dicking around?
Waited such a long time to be with you and here you are now
I am soberish and I can't make a sound
But I will open my arms up and wrap them around you
I will open my arms up and wrap them around you

 

[jivafox]

9. Soul Sucker

 

[Iguana]

Yeah it's rather lovely! What a lovely neat album this is

 

[BoysForSeles]

This is more the ageing related vague panic that I’m liking on this record. As well as having had your fingers burnt. Relatable content.

 

[BoysForSeles]

Soberish that is.

 

[jivafox]

Not a big fan of Soul Sucker to be honest.

 

[BoysForSeles]

Soul Sucker doesn’t feel essential but does have it’s place on the route this album is taking.

 

[Iguana]

Oh I really like the vibe of Soul Sucker!

 

[jivafox]

10. Lonely Street

 

[jivafox]

Oh I really like the vibe of Soul Sucker!

Check out "Bang Bang" from Funstyle! It has the same kind of vibe.

 

[BoysForSeles]

I’m not sure she’ll try the high notes live.

 

[jivafox]

I love these strumming songs, she does them so well. Love the high voice on the chorus too. Reminds me of her live cover of "Beginning To See The Light".

 

[jivafox]

And I've got my friends to pick up thе loose ends
And I've got your picturе til I see you again
But it doesn't whisper to me all the things I need to hear

 

[Iguana]

Well I think this one is just gorgeous

 

[jivafox]

11. Dosage

 

[BoysForSeles]

Oh it is for sure.

 

[jivafox]

I love the idea of song sequels. More people should do them.

 

[BoysForSeles]

And we are back in the Polyester Bride 32 years later on Dosage!

 

[jivafox]

You sing like a bird and I'm sure you'll go far
But I can't help you, sitting drunk at this bar

 

[BoysForSeles]

I love the idea of song sequels. More people should do them.

Yes! I think Aimee would be great at revisiting some of her characters.

 

[jivafox]

Yes! I think Aimee would be great at revisiting some of her characters.

Lost In Space Part 2

"They're all dead "

 

[BoysForSeles]

But I can't help you, sittin' drunk at this bar

I think I’ve been on both sides of this line/conversation at some point.
