green mind

J Mascis carried Dinosaur Jr. from indie obscurity into the majors on a joyous wave of feedback. After three albums (Dinosaur  in  1985,  You're Living All Over Me in 1987,  and  Bug in 1988), Lou Barlow left the band to pursue work with Sebadoh, Mascis took on most of the production and performances on the album with drummer Murph only sitting in on a few of the tracks. The sound is more toned down from their previous work, adding acoustic textures and keyboards through overdubbing and tapping into his dark emotions and seizing the moment with humor and heart.

"There's a place I go

But you're not there

And I'm supposed to know

How to get to where

You're gonna be

But you don't even know

So I'm flakin'

While you're shakin' it

With every stone you fly

Without a mind, without a spine

What is it that you wanna find?"

"Don't do it, give in this time

Because without it things will start goin' down

I try to stop you 'cause I know why

You been smilin' lately dancin' around

Come on down"

"I don't know a thing to say to you ...

I know why, I know why"

"It could be a big mistake

Can't you help move it along?

If I keep stewin' 'bout how I feel

The plate will split, then I won't have to deal

Sounds like a plan but it's kind of lame to let it slide

Knowin' either way I haven't tried

Can't figure out where it all stands In a green mind"
