District Line, 2008
Written by Bob Mould
Aside from drums, Mould plays all the instruments on this song (and the whole album). The song describes being in an unhealthy relationship, giving your heart, and having the door closed in your face. "Hope the presentation will catch his eye / And it did, and then he saw the string / He grabbed it and leads you on your leash." Over buzzy but unhurried guitar lines, Mould sings of feeling invisible and just wanting to make it through another day. It's the quiet resignation of an elder statesman, not the bristling punk anger of Husker Du.
