caroline, we don't have much time / mercy lies in the one you hide // caroline, we don't have much time / mercy lies in the ones we hide // you don't need to be outside / you can stand with me in line
Alan's Notes:
finished writing this last minute in the studio. our lack of confidence shows. still have a hard time remembering how we played it.
Personal Thoughts:
I think this is my favorite "deep cut" from the record. I'm not quite sure why, but I just really like the way this one sounds.
Other Version:
This is one of the few Low songs to have another version on a major (ish) release.
Alan's Notes:
"darker" version of original on long division. became more confident with the song as we later played it live. this is from our first session with albini.
Personal Thoughts:
This is a nice redo, but I think that the first version they did is the one I prefer still.
Live:
Saw only around 8 performances through '95 and '96. All seem to be the second version.
