    Seriously, Karen was an under-appreciated instrumentalist (drummer), singer and songwriter -- her music may have been too mainstream "poppy" for heavier rock fans, but there was a depth to her lyrics that most pop songs of her times didn't dare have.

    Such a shocking, haunting song. The best tribute to Karen Carpenter that I've ever heard: ambiguous, guilty, fascinated. And some days I think that Kim Gordon is one of the ultimate rock'n'roll heroines. She's certainly one of MY rock'n'roll heroines, anyway.

    Even without knowing what this song is about it makes you feel emotional - but after I found out about Karen Carpenter and what happened to her this song made me almost cry. Such an unfortunate story of an amazing woman killed by society and the pressures of stardom. Huge respect to Kim for giving her a kind of posthumous voice that she was denied while living.

  • @pookieSR71adams

    Never listened to Sonic Youth before, just am now because I came across this song as a Karen Carpenter tribute.
    As a huge Karen Carpenter fan this song is insanely haunting. Even down to the stuffed animals...something Karen collected and kept to her dying day. The lyrics...are like they fell out of the lyrics Karen wanted to sing but was denied the chance of...just like her solo album. I know other fans like to put this song down but they don’t get it...Karen was so much more than “lead sister” she was a woman with a voice denied and subject to horrible emotional and psychological abuse from her mother and (here’s where Carpenters fans will clutch their pearls and then send me nasty DM’s) her brother and to a lesser extent A&M who thought of her only as their virginal pay pig. The world only knows of Richard because of his sister who started recording at 14 (which Richard still won’t release to this day) but you can hear her on the “Magic Lamp” Looking for Love record and her cover of California Dreamin.
    I’m glad this song exists.

      The story of how Karen's solo album was suppressed by A&M and Richard is horrible even now. How she must have felt at that point, who can tell. But, of course it suddenly became eminently releasable once they saw it as a cash cow after her tragic death.
      And, check out Sonic Youth's version of 'Superstar'. Richard hated it, so it must be good.

    Dreaming, dreaming of a girl like me
    Hey what are you waiting for, feeding, feeding me
    I feel like I'm disappearing, getting smaller every day
    But I look in the mirror, I'm bigger in every way
    She said,
    You aren't never going anywhere
    You aren't never going anywhere
    I ain't never going anywhere
    I ain't never going anywhere
    I'm in heaven now, I can see you Richard
    Goodbye Hollywood, goodbye Downey, hello Janis
    Hello Dennis, Elvis and all my brand new friends
    I'm so glad you're all here with me, until the very end
    Dreaming, dreaming of how it's supposed to be
    But now this tunic's spinning, around my arms and knees
    I feel like I'm disappearing, getting smaller every day
    But when I open my mouth to sing, I'm bigger in every way
    She said,
    You aren't never going anywhere
    You aren't never going anywhere
    I ain't never going anywhere
    I ain't never going anywhere
    Hey mom! Look I'm up here, I finally made it
    I'm playing the drums again too
    Don't be sad, the band doesn't sound half bad
    And I remember mom, what you said
    You said honey, you look so under-fed
    Another green salad, another ice tea
    There's a tunic in the closet waiting just for me
    I feel like I'm disappearing, getting smaller every day
    But I look in your eyes, and I'm bigger in every way
    She said,
    You aren't never going anywhere
    You aren't never going anywhere
    I ain't never going anywhere
    I ain't never going anywhere
    Goodbye Richard, gotta go now
    I'm finally on my own, but Dan's got a gig
    Keep the love lights glowing, little girl's got the blues
    I can still hear momma say: "honey don't let it go to your head"

      Sonic Youth were making videos since 1986, when they were still on the SST label. All the videos were shown on MTV in those days and even into 2009 with the video for "Sacred Trickster" off the album "The Eternal", which was their final release as Thurston and Kim's divorce kind of ended the band.

      @@jimnewcombe7584 A simple online search proves that statement to be nonsense. They are highly regarded in the music industry and the art scene as well. Numerous artists in the rock and alternative scene look to them as an influence. They graced the covers of numerous international magazines, did movie soundtracks, held concerts in Central Park in Manhattan; not the kind of things bands never heard of get to do. They were in existence for 30 years, dude. What you meant to say is you've never heard of them.

    The stirring feeling of not only growing up with such a haunting song about a woman's battle with a modern disease, from not very long ago, being performed by an innately surreal group, but also when the comment section's latest entries appear over 3 years old.. That's some pre-Pandemic 2019!

    I was born around the time this album was big. So my early memories of life involve a lot of these blurry looking video clips that have psychedelic imagery and loud walls of guitar sounds. It makes me wonder if this is why I see this stuff in my dreams constantly. I live with a little existential fear and I feel as if exiting life will look similar to this.

    to everyone offended: it's ok if you feel offended, but in this case this is dedicated to a person in particular not a group of persons, so don't take it personally, so YES, you can feel offended, i won't change that, but remember this is not for all people who died that way of who suffer this, this is for a particular person / i write songs too and it's particulary hard to put something into a lyric without it being missunderstood, just keep that it mind, try not to wish bad for people, write why you think this song is shit or whatever and leave, i think is the best you can do :/
