#TMBThursday: Stand On Your Own Head

by indigo on June 6, 2013 and modified on March 18, 2021.

I love the world, and if I have to sue for custody / I will sue for custody!

Lincoln, track 16: Stand On Your Own Head. (Listen on iTunes)

This song never made any sense to me, it just felt like it was filled with one non-sequitur after another. Which in its way was pretty brilliant. The song doesn’t build to anything, it doesn’t have any message, it just is what it is, and is damned unapologetic. If I didn’t know any better, I’d say this song was written about Portland.

#TMBThursday: Piece of Dirt

A woman’s voice on the radio can convince you you’re in love / A woman’s voice on the telephone can convince you you’re alone…

Lincoln, track 7: Piece of Dirt (Listen on iTunes)

I always thought of Piece of Dirt as a companion song to Mr. Me. Both songs are about protagonists named ‘Me’ (“I find myself haunted by a spooky man named ‘Me’), and both are about loss and transition. For that reason I used the same kid in this image as in Mr. Me. Wonder whatever became of this kid…

#TMBThursday: Mr. Me

Once a boy named Mr. Me bemoaned a great regret:

“I’ve floundered in the Misty Sea but can’t abide its mystery. I wound up sad, you bet.”

Lincoln, track 8: Mr. Me (Listen on iTunes)

Mr. Me is one of those great TMBG songs that, on its surface sound bouncy, jaunty, and fun, but when you take a moment to listen to the lyrics are actually terribly depressing and dark. This boy went off in search of something, got lost in the looking, and ended up worse than when he left. Welcome to adulthood, kids!

#TMBThursday: You’ll Miss Me

You’ll always miss my big old body / In it’s prime and never shoddy…

Lincoln, track 13: You’ll Miss Me. (Listen on iTunes)

The bragadoccio of this character, coupled with the megaphone quality of the main vocals, always put the image of a gigantic loudspeaker tombstone in my mind. Even in the grave, this guy’s in some serious denial.
