Twilight Campfighter - Guided By Voices

Twilight Campfighter - Guided By Voices
3:07
Isolation Drills, 2001
Written by Robert Pollard

I don't know much about GbV, but this is a damn fine rock song, sounding a little like late-period REM, highly polished.  The lyrics are image-rich and obscure: "With light revealing holy grails / To hike through dangerous weather, you need twilight eyes."  The song seems to be about longing for something more, finding a partner who isn't comfortable with just material things ("As we vegetate and wait around for brighter days / And can dance contented to the sound of money") but challenges you.
