once you felt alive / present for a time / those below you whore themselves / those above you know // you're a friend of mine / bound by chains and wires / those below you whore themselves / those above you know
Alan's Notes:
i always call long division our "darkhorse" - most people didn't like it as much as hope, but it was very dear to some people, and probably one of our favorites. this song is everything i like about the whole record - simple, cold/warm, pretty, and mim's lyrics.
Personal Thoughts:
A rather bare track, carried solely by guitar, bass, and Mimi's vocals. Sounds a lot brighter than a lot of "Hope" tracks, yet also plenty solemn.
Live:
Some appearances through the 90s, almost nothing after 2003.
