Too Deep

J Mascis

He has this unmistakeable voice and this song’s dream-like and perfect. Effortless — like he wrote and recorded it all at once upon waking. There’s no obvious context to the lyrics — except that these two people are separated and it’s a hell that feels permanent. 💔

I just stared but not a peep,
You walked by it gets too deep,
Turn me stick into my soul
Hasn’t changed much getting old
I saw you
