ALBUM: SHOOTING RUBER BANDS AT THE STARS
SONG: WHAT I AM
DATE: NOVEMBER 1988
STATUS: ACQUIRED
I often find my child self apologizing to my adult self for the musical choices he made (and my adult self always gracefully accepts), but not so with "What I Am". This song in no way surprises me as an adult after years of not hearing it, and it doesn't disappoint. Love the guitar solo, enjoy her voice, and the lyrics are ambiguous and thoughtful, never sure quite where the point is going. Highly enjoyable.
Little known fact. Edie and the other new Bohemians recycled Simple Minds video concept, because it was good for the earth.
