about

It Never Gave Me Anything describes a relationship between a person and an unwanted side of themselves. This side is so unlike how they want to be that they treat them as a separate entity, maybe even a person. It has always been there, ruining moments, talking to them and making sure that they never forget that it is present. A seemingly never ending list of things this "it" is responsible for is recited over a pulsating beat and bass riff that is both ominous and groovy at the same time. This paired with a wall of distorted guitars that show up in the bridges and choruses, creates a song that makes you question what mood the song leaves you with. As is typical of the band, the song plays with what emotion, as well as which genre, it evokes.

lyrics

Voice is guttural
seems to know it all
speaks when I'm asleep
digs their thumb deep
gambles away
gifts, wives and pay
squanders all away

It shares my birthday and it
blows out all my candles though
it never gave me anything
Some serial killers and Kurt were
also born as pisces suns
you try to tell me something

Spreading rumors
Lives in tumors
Laughs at every tear
Paints my every fear
On the mirror
Getting clearer
Getting clearer


It shares my birthday and it
blows out all my candles though
it never gave me anything

Hands firm on my shoulders
smiles just as the flash goes off
it knows what this year will bring

It shares my birthday and it
blows out all my candles though
it never gave me anything

Hands firm on my shoulders
smiles just as the flash goes off
it knows what this year will bring

Some serial killers and Kurt were
also born as pisces suns
you try to tell me something

about

Spunsugar image

Spunsugar Malmö, Sweden

Spunsugar is an alternative rock band with shoegaze influences. Sound wise, imagine if Alternative Nation on MTV 1997 and a drum machine fall into a cotton candy machine. The cotton candy wheel breaks and derails. They grew up farmer offsprings, bible belt kids of fundamentalists and trailer trash in small towns of Sweden. These are their references and this shapes their sound. ... more
