Nervous Sooner Changes, 1995
Written by Fred Cole, Toody Cole, and Andrew Loomis
A folk-punk band from Portland that was more popular in Europe than home, Dead Moon wrote songs with dark themes using old time country influences fused with a DIY, garage-rock sensibility. Two band members died early, ending the band. This song is a low-fi, slow tempo about a relationship that might be falling apart, or maybe the narrator is the one falling apart, unsure what will last. He mentions "he'll be out there, somewhere" if his partner ever needs him. The poetic lyrics are delivered with a shaky croon. "How vaguely time remembers / How slowly we forget / We all pass through this wilderness / Never know where we'll be sent."
