Gave Up (Remixed By Coil W/Danny Hyde)

The high-pitched background vocal screaming is over-the-top. I love the way this mix goes from guitars, quick-cutting vocals, and deconstructed beats.

People that actually knew music and heard me play this would often say, “you should listen to Coil, great stuff.” I never have. My life has been that narrow.

Actually, I really was that poor. I didn’t have a job until I was 18 and I had to pay rent to my parents when I turned 18. So, I didn’t have a lot of money. Napster was a thing, but I didn’t bother with it. Frankly, it was a miracle my parents bought the albums I did get.
