I've been thinking about the Day For Night album today. In my eyes that's the one that took The Hip from a meat and potatoes rock band to a new level. Something a bit darker and heavier. Not as brooding as some of the other bands of that era, but not 54.40 straight ahead either. It was just a perfect album for its time. As mentioned, he's an amazing lyricist...but I swear, every song on Day For Night is lyrically brilliant.
Interesting and sophisticated,
Refusing to be celebrated,
It's a monumental big screen kiss,
It's so deep it's meaningless.
