For a record that was made largely by favors, it stands up as a good document of where the Ounces were at in the wake of INOFW.<BR/><BR/>As for "The Last Thing" being played live, I remember it being hard to sandwich into the set...very slow, very emotional and highly personal subject matter, and a lengthy song to boot. <BR/>I remember Seth playing me his original demo for this song when we lived at Casa de la Ounces on Broad Street. It gave me chills then, and still does now, although it's been a few years since I last heard it. The last line is such a great twist--"the last thing I wanna do is think that I could ever forget you." Seth, you talented fucker.<BR/>-JAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2674065901468102917.post-488660040382535062008-01-24T10:32:00.000-06:002008-01-24T10:32:00.000-06:00just find a girl that looks just like her, bone he...just find a girl that looks just like her, bone her, then break up with her...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2674065901468102917.post-77714058664575033902008-01-24T08:15:00.000-06:002008-01-24T08:15:00.000-06:00if anything, the drum sound on the bridge is what ...if anything, the drum sound on the bridge is what stops me from really loving this song. so "gushy," bleedy, and everything that was wrong with the excessive 80s.<BR/><BR/>interesting to note that seth has said that this song is the third in a series that began with "big empty," leading into "bigger than the both of us." apparently it was all about the same girl with whom seth had a very tumultuous, on-off relationship over many many years (hence the evolution of the story over the span of three records, not just one or even two). girl may not have been the one for seth, but sure did inspire his very best material.Jakob Dorofhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05763621362271726471noreply@blogger.com
