    "comment": "Second single from Peter Murphy's 1989 release Deep.\n---\nThe song is driven by a violin riff played on a synthesizer. According to Simon Rogers, who produced the track, they brought in a musician to replicate it on viola, but it didn't sound right. \n\nPeter Murphy was the vocalist for Bauhaus. In an interview, he was asked what it is that cuts you up and spits you out, to which he replied, \"The path of discovery, self-knowledge, wisdom... once you feel you have it. Then the path will spit you out or off the way and ruin your assumptions of this path. In fact, a great mighty necessity for those spiritual seekers or so-called 'holy state' desires when getting arrogant.\"\n\nhttps://petermurphy.bandcamp.com\nhttps://www.petermurphy.info/",
