I<\/span> have been thinking to feature Sonic Youth’s ‘Bull in the heather’ in this Past the Bridge item, but ended up bubblesorting Sjako’s ‘Hurt’.\n<\/p>\n

Eh. Sjako is a Dutch band<\/a> that has been going through plenty of personnel changes since 1983. I think, most of their songs are in English (don’t ask me why) and they were (are still?) highly popular in the Cafe<\/em> scene. Only one song stuck out during the years and that is ‘Hurt’, a song I associate with that catchy guitar strum theme and a couple of good memories. That’s it. I never liked the actual songtext: for some kind of reason the text doesn’t feel balanced. Listening back: It’s repeative, because of the repeative guitar theme. The original recording is also 6 minutes long: too long, which makes me want to cut the song up in 3 essential (smaller pieces): The intro, the first verse and the last section.\n<\/p>\n
