It's So Hard To Fall In Love

Knowin' all I know
Seeing all the things I see
Maybe I should crawl away for awhile
Maybe I shouldn't have smiled so much
Who's the one with the killing secret?
The stupid little boy with the killing crush
Count the times that you looked away
Thinking over and over every word we had to say
Now I know what I wanted
Another chance to reach too high
Nothing will last forever and ever
I'm just next in a long, long line
The closest thing to me I've ever seen
It's So Hard To Fall In Love

Released during the group's formative years, the track captures the raw energy and emotional vulnerability that defined their discography before their later experimental shifts. The song features the band's signature blend of jangly guitars and rhythmic drumming, delivered with a vocal style that balances clarity with a distinct, slightly detached delivery. As a standalone recording, it reflects the broader cultural landscape of the early 1990s alternative scene, resonating with listeners seeking authentic, unpolished expressions of heartbreak and longing. Its enduring appeal lies in its ability to convey complex feelings through straightforward instrumentation, cementing its place within Sebadoh's catalog of memorable works.
