Paul is deeply confused and unsatisfied, but he doesn't know why. He just knows that something is missing. It is also about the \"American Dream\" - the guarantee that you will make it if you stumble upon this country. That is why they are coming to America.\n\nThe song is a great example of Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel singing in unison, which was a hallmark of their sound. Garfunkel is especially fond of the section where they sing, \"And walked off to look for America.\"  https://tinyurl.com/2czfave6","location":1,"location_name":"Default","play_type":"trackplay"},{"id":3561711,"uri":"https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3561711/?format=json","airdate":"2025-10-05T17:13:58-07:00","show":64755,"show_uri":"https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/64755/?format=json","image_uri":"","thumbnail_uri":"","comment":"","location":1,"location_name":"Default","play_type":"airbreak"},{"id":3561709,"uri":"https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3561709/?format=json","airdate":"2025-10-05T17:10:20-07:00","show":64755,"show_uri":"https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/64755/?format=json","image_uri":"https://ia801902.us.archive.org/5/items/mbid-4ecaba33-4323-41ca-8129-18699d105562/mbid-4ecaba33-4323-41ca-8129-18699d105562-8507607194_thumb500.jpg","thumbnail_uri":"https://ia601902.us.archive.org/5/items/mbid-4ecaba33-4323-41ca-8129-18699d105562/mbid-4ecaba33-4323-41ca-8129-18699d105562-8507607194_thumb250.jpg","song":"Sheela-Na-Gig","track_id":"e30b0a68-7d18-3386-a6b1-b778f334474e","recording_id":"a57281f6-d9b3-4d35-bd61-5645203076b4","artist":"PJ Harvey","artist_ids":["e795e03d-b5d5-4a5f-834d-162cfb308a2c"],"album":"Dry","release_id":"4ecaba33-4323-41ca-8129-18699d105562","release_group_id":"78e2be48-6a07-31bf-b85f-3a1093177263","labels":["Too Pure","Indigo Records"],"label_ids":["ae5ab1f6-8ce6-4af0-9268-442b9067f537","13bf302d-26f7-4c8b-8f15-ee2fc01a3c63"],"release_date":"1992-06-30","rotation_status":null,"is_local":false,"is_request":false,"is_live":false,"comment":"#640 on KEXP Listener's Favorite Albums of All-time Countdown\n\nWelcome to KEXP's Fall Fundraising Drive!!!\n\nOf Dry, Harvey's debut album, she reveals, \"Dry is the first chance I ever had to make a record and I thought it would be my last.

I was living with my old friend Mark Sandman from the band Morphine, who's the guy that turned me on to the two-string.\n\n\"We were having a little jam in his living room and his roommate's cat Shima came in. Shima was famous for going up to your leg and rubbing on it, and then when you reach down you get a handful of claw. So Shima was there, we were jamming, and I go into this riff. I just started singing, 'Kitty at my foot and I want to touch it.' For a long time that's all it was, it was a fragment that just did that over and over again.\n\n\"I recorded it on my 4-track with a banjo, made it a weird, distorted country thing, and as I'm putting songs together for the debut for The Presidents to play live shows and stuff, I heard that fragment and thought I'd develop that a little bit.

I thought my little song about lost love, and the hope to recapture what you once had, sounded too much like a Feist song for me to use for New Buffalo, so I shelved it. \n\n\"Then, in late 2005 I did a tour across Canada supporting Feist, and Broken Social Scene. After meeting Feist, I started to wonder whether she might like to do a cover of '1234,' but I was too shy to tell her about it. At the last Broken Social Scene show, I plucked up the courage to tell her that I had written a song which I thought she might like to use. We went onto the tour bus, and I recorded a simple version of the song into her laptop, with guitar and vocals.

He explained to Mojo magazine March 2009, \"In the first couple of days when you haven't slept, you're withdrawing from drugs, you're sick. You try and make the best of a bad situation.\"\n\nCave performed this at the 1997 funeral of his friend Michael Hutchence. He requested that the TV cameras be shut off for his performance out of respect for the late INXS vocalist.\n\nIn his 2022 book Faith, Hope and Carnage, Nick Cave explained that rehab patients were allowed to attend church on Sundays if they wished. One day, while walking back to the facility from church through the fields, the melody for \"Into My Arms\" came to him. Once he reached the facility, Cave sat down at the piano and composed the melody and chords. Later, he sat on his bed in the dormitory and wrote the lyrics.\n\nWhile penning \"Into My Arms,\" he encountered a troubled drug addict covered in sores who was spraying himself with Lynx deodorant \"as if that was going to change anything.\" When the addict asked Cave what he was doing, he said he was writing a song. The addict questioned why, to which Cave did not have an immediate answer. https://tinyurl.com/ynb95xdn","location":1,"location_name":"Default","play_type":"trackplay"},{"id":3561684,"uri":"https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3561684/?format=json","airdate":"2025-10-05T16:07:19-07:00","show":64755,"show_uri":"https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/64755/?format=json","image_uri":"","thumbnail_uri":"","comment":"","location":1,"location_name":"Default","play_type":"airbreak"},{"id":3561681,"uri":"https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3561681/?format=json","airdate":"2025-10-05T16:01:49-07:00","show":64755,"show_uri":"https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/64755/?format=json","image_uri":"https://ia601605.us.archive.org/13/items/mbid-910276fa-14ac-3df2-a8e0-6a9ce5158af0/mbid-910276fa-14ac-3df2-a8e0-6a9ce5158af0-2769090911_thumb500.jpg","thumbnail_uri":"https://ia801605.us.archive.org/13/items/mbid-910276fa-14ac-3df2-a8e0-6a9ce5158af0/mbid-910276fa-14ac-3df2-a8e0-6a9ce5158af0-2769090911_thumb250.jpg","song":"Cuts You Up","track_id":"80741df5-8228-490b-a23c-4e43569b5ddd","recording_id":"0c2090a2-0b51-4c7e-8906-c226b43fc1a9","artist":"Peter Murphy","artist_ids":["b78346af-e3ce-4b36-a0d5-032414de8a27"],"album":"Deep","release_id":"4ca85c38-a963-4b1b-a9a4-c6c3a8f14a69","release_group_id":"594f0d02-bc29-3bec-baeb-68c9f359010a","labels":["RCA"],"label_ids":["1ca5ed29-e00b-4ea5-b817-0bcca0e04946"],"release_date":"1989-01-01","rotation_status":"Library","is_local":false,"is_request":false,"is_live":false,"comment":"#651 on KEXP Listener's Favorite Albums of All-time Countdown\n\nWelcome to KEXP's Fall Fundraising Drive!!!\n\nThe song is driven by a violin riff played on a synthesizer.

In fact, we get the term \"p-funk\" from the collective Parliament-Funkadelic, managed by George Clinton. A few dozen other groups have since followed suit within this genre they invented.\n\n\"Give Up The Funk\" uses a jazz construction, beginning with three themes introduced and explored separately which are then woven together. Ray Davis raps \"tear the roof off the sucker\" at the beginning. Throughout the song, interaction is heard between bass, drums, vocals, and synthesizers. An ensemble sound is achieved with only a few parts. https://tinyurl.com/8p8wc2sr","location":1,"location_name":"Default","play_type":"trackplay"},{"id":3561678,"uri":"https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3561678/?format=json","airdate":"2025-10-05T15:49:25-07:00","show":64755,"show_uri":"https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/64755/?format=json","image_uri":"","thumbnail_uri":"","comment":"","location":1,"location_name":"Default","play_type":"airbreak"},{"id":3561676,"uri":"https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3561676/?format=json","airdate":"2025-10-05T15:42:00-07:00","show":64755,"show_uri":"https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/64755/?format=json","image_uri":"https://dn721600.ca.archive.org/0/items/mbid-e9c281ee-4685-349c-bda7-d6f13f3717fa/mbid-e9c281ee-4685-349c-bda7-d6f13f3717fa-37478333215_thumb500.jpg","thumbnail_uri":"https://dn721600.ca.archive.org/0/items/mbid-e9c281ee-4685-349c-bda7-d6f13f3717fa/mbid-e9c281ee-4685-349c-bda7-d6f13f3717fa-37478333215_thumb250.jpg","song":"Controversy","track_id":"bda341ae-3bba-3f38-a83d-e642b97d9724","recording_id":"cdc09ab5-378a-4bb1-8b4e-ecd8252d21f3","artist":"Prince","artist_ids":["070d193a-845c-479f-980e-bef15710653e"],"album":"Controversy","release_id":"e9c281ee-4685-349c-bda7-d6f13f3717fa","release_group_id":"7263636b-ca20-3598-8ec0-bc1b52c9b958","labels":["Warner Bros.
