I sent Ryan at Pitchfork a correction letter.
Here it is:
...from the Sevens Travels review...
"But problems even crop up on the album's highlight,
"Always Coming Back Home to You". Slug opens the track
people-watching, but loses control of the narrative when a nervous
kid ditches a gun with him, and he jumps, from out of nowhere, to
"the clouds ran away, opened up the sky/ And one by one, I
watched every constellation die." It doesn't help that he takes
the song out singing like a stunted Everlast."
--Rollie Pemberton
Attention Rollie Pemberton:
"Always Coming Back Home to You" is about Slug's son or so
I would wager. Your lineage of Slug's rhymes being about girls would
make sense (and do to a point) if in fact you researched your stuff
long enough (hell maybe even ditched the promo cd and looked at the
insert of the actual CD, which has a picture of, guess who? next to
that title track), you'd know that the kid to the gun to the
"Everlast" reference may, in fact, be more of a fatherly
reference/thought process track (he seems to trace his life with a
certain locale to the one his son may in fact take, or one similar in
the "journey-ing" aspect) over a lost/lovesick/Chris
Carraba "King of the Self Important Youth" thing you
referenced.
In case you didn't know...
