First time I heard this song, over 12 years ago, I though it was an energetic and furious song. Now after a recent break up and painful divorce, the lyrics makes soooooo much sense to me, that has been greatly helpful releasing my anger and make me through with a lot of sadness. Music masterpieces live longer thru ages, but some lyrics connect with real and common feelings about millions of people: pain, sadness, hopeless, inertial numbness, that songs like this are the most powerful tool to move on.

@@robertmcmanus9185 Which one did you think had "strange" vocals? Each of those songs is on a very good album worth listening to. Probably the best album either band ever did. Jawbox, a band from my hometown after I'd left my hometown, never saw them live. J Robbins from Jawbox later had a band called Burning Airlines, poor choice of name as the band debuted right around the time the Twin Towers were hit by airliner. Afghan Whigs - OH origins, like Devo or Pere Ubu or The Amps / The Breeders. Dulli apparently fascinated by soul singers of the 60s and 70s, almost like a Hall & Oates gone rock. But less "Philly Soul" and more like what you hear on Debonair. One internet resource you can use to find new music -- these days it's really a CF with so many ads, but they have album and band reviews, and for each artist or band there is a tab called "Related" and one called "Similar Artist" or "Similar Album." The website is allmusic dot com. Back in the early-mid 00s I found quite a few interesting bands through those similar or related tab lists.

🗣 *What you mean ‘Television’, ‘Joy division’ ,’Gang of four’ ‘Bauhaus’ ‘The Modern lovers’ etc?* *The ‘Walkman’ are a great band live but an influence on ‘Interpol’ na…you’d have to travel to Manchester in the UK & what was going on in post punk!* *Cracking tune though!*

I'm familiar to all of those bands and I travelled a lot to Manchester in the 90s and yeah - you got a point, these were all influencial m8.

Possibly my favourite song of all time. Still enjoying it in 2024 as much as I did when it was released.

If this song doesn't make you want to scream the words from the top of your lungs then you need to sit down with someone and evaluate where your live has been going for the last few years.

More than 20 years ago I had never heard of them then I saw them perform this on Letterman. In the age of Backstreet Boys and N'Sync this was an earth shattering breath of fresh air. It remains awesome.

This morning I thought I'd play 'Bows & Arrows' in the car on the way to work. Track 2 (this) came on & I smiled, then laughed, then crashed the car. As I was dying, my last thought was: "That's quite possibly the best rock song since the Modern Lovers' Roadrunner." The more I think about it - in my dead state, of course - the more I agree with myself.
