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.
