Afraid Lyrics


Afraid
  • This song was written and originally recorded by the German singer-songwriter Nico for her 1970 album Desertshore. Neko Case explained to American Songwriter magazine why she decided to cover the tune: "I have always loved the song," she said, "and sometimes you need a reason to cover something and I thought, 'That song is just so comforting even though it's so sad.' And you know, that song has been comforting me forever. And from a technical standpoint, I thought, 'Well, I can't sound anything like Nico, I don't have her incredible low range.' So I didn't do it on a piano the way she does it, I tried to do it differently."

    "But people focus on very different parts of Nico's career," she continued, "like the Velvet Underground periods and Chelsea Girl and records like Desertshore don't get their due. Or not that they don't get their due, I just don't think people are as familiar with it, because it is odd."

    Man Lyrics


    Man
  • This rollicking rocker finds Case taking on the subject of gender roles:

    "I'm a man's man, I've always been.
    But make no mistake what I've invested in.
    The woman's heart is the watermark by which I measure everything."

    Case told The Guardian: "I think I just want balance. I want to be equal parts man and woman, no matter what I am at the gynecologist."
  • That's M. Ward of She & Him playing the fuzzed-out guitar.
  • The song grew out of Case's observations about the inflexible way people often respond when she refers to herself as a guy – as in, "I'm the kind of guy who..."

    She told Rolling Stone: "Everybody wants to remind you that you're a girl. And I'm like, not if I don't want to be. I grew up in America, man."

    Case added that the song is also an attack on modern politically correct attitudes. "The Seventies went out of its way to show little girls as firemen and stuff," she said. "Let's not hash it out and make it firewoman or fireperson."
