Sponge (Vic Chesnutt cover)

from Here & How by Michael Gerard

about

This song has haunted me since the first time I heard it coming over the speakers in Jittery Joe's late one night in 1994 when I couldn't sleep. The song didn't help me get any z's that night and more likely kept me awake until dawn as it continues to do each time I think about it. I performed this one at the Vic Tribute show at 40 Watt last year, I learned to play and sing it about two weeks before the show, and was gripped again by the visceral hook of the lyric. I thought that perhaps by recording a version I might be able to get some rest from it.
