DIIV - “Brown Paper Bag“ (Official Visualizer)

“Brown Paper Bag“ is from the upcoming DIIV album, “Frog In Boiling Water“ Stream/Buy here: A message from DIIV behind “Brown Paper Bag“: “as of today, this song is no longer ours, it is now yours. this is ‘brown paper bag’, track two on our new album, ‘frog in boiling water’. the way we see it, it’s both a pop song and a sludgy song, a country song and a shoegaze song, a dreamy song and a decidedly 90’s ‘rock’ song. we built it around tape samples that loop just underneath the surface and what is probably the weirdest guitar tuning we’ve ever used. recording it, we talked about mojave 3, built to spill, and the melvins. while the rest of the record focuses on the larger external world, this one dwells on a specific internal experience of living in it: what does this world feel like sometimes? ever feel like a brown paper bag?” Lyrics: Cost me nothing to say My mind’s at ease When I’m in pain Quietly swept away I circle the drain So there I go Torn Faded a brown paper bag Stuck on the ground Down Wasted Just a brown paper bag again Put a smile on my face My home in flames The past erased I’ll embrace my mistakes On some other day So there I go Torn Faded A brown paper bag Stuck on the ground Down Wasted Just a brown paper bag Again There I go Where will I go Follow DIIV: Instagram: Twitter: Facebook: Spotify:
