good for no-one- herman dune

(okay! so the 'every day' thing isnt happening apparently! but thats fine! lets not freak out about it! okay!)


herman dune seem recently to have lost their umlaut, which is extremely careless of them. im not sure i can take to my bosom a band who are so cavalier with their diacritics. so, anyway, i really really love 'good for no- one', because it is doomy and brooding and very funny and generally good for listening to when you are on the top of a bus and it is raining and you are feeling kind of like the world is a massive bag of shit. but the lyrics make me wonder if someone said to david- ivar, 'hey, you should try to write a song that makes women want- for a split second- to fucking kill you' and he went 'yeah, that would be a funny experiment, ill do it'. i mean, its not his fault that he loves the girl in the song more than anyone hes ever met before, and wants to hold her hand.... but doesnt want to fuck her. thats not his fault. thats life! thats the way things happen sometimes. but it still makes me want- for a split second- to fucking kill him. i forgive him very quickly, because of the bit almost immediately afterwards where he talks about being called a freak by some small children. but its still an overwhelming sensation. for a split second. wanting... to kill him. (this is probably 'my stuff', as they say in self- help circles, and nothing to do with herman dune. almost definitely, in fact.)
