I like lead singer's crass, cynical delivery and deliberate cadance. He almost sounds like an angry and dissilusioned John McCrea... A Bizarro John McCrae if you will. The song itself has the qualities of your basic rock anthem, yet the dark, twisted imagery found in the lyrics makes for a surreal — even disturbing — listening experience.
As I lay me down
to fall asleep,
with my demons dying
and my pilot light weak,
I curse the last 6 months
I've been hiding behind a moustache,
yeah,
and to those last 10 years
I've been hell in a paper moon
well, fuck you.
shine a flashlight in
a hatbox and spin
an empty oyster shell,
and celebrate the hollows
Why? - The Hollows
Listen to quite a few of Why?'s other tracks on their myspace
