    "comment": "This disorientation anthem was written by singer Frank Black, who was inspired by a snorkeling adventure. Under water, sometimes the only way to know which way is up is by looking at the air bubbles. Black told Select (October 1997): \"That came from me snorkeling in the Caribbean and having this very small fish trying to chase me. I don't know why - I don't know too much about fish behavior.\"\n\nProducer Steve Albini used some unusual recording techniques on Surfer Rosa as he was desperate to avoid \"the studio sound.\" For instance he moved all the studio equipment to its bathroom in the hope of achieving a real rather than studio echo on bassist Kim Deal's backing vocals for this and her lead vocals on Gigantic. Albini later admitted that the record could have been completed in a week were if not for the time wasted experimenting on projects like this.\n\nFrank Black acknowledges he would never have completed the song without some words of encouragement from his then-girlfriend and future wife, Jean Walsh.\n\n\"I was strumming the guitar in the bedroom, and she stuck her head out and said, 'Finish that song, that's a good one,'\" he recalled to ABC Audio. \"So I was, like, 'Oh, OK.' And she had never said anything like that to me before, and hasn't ever since.\" https://tinyurl.com/4b658vwa",
