She Said, She Said
Black Keys · The Big Come Up [2002]
i know what it is to be sad
and shes makin' me feel like i've never been born
I said,who put all though things in your head
things that make me feel like i'm there
and your makin' me feel like i never was born
She said, you dont understand what i said
i said no no no your wrong,when i was a boy....
everything was right
everything was right
I said,even though you know what you know
i know that i'm ready to leave
cause your makin' me feel like i never was born
she said,she said, she
said, she said,she said
She Said, She Said
Released on The Big Come Up in 2002, this track by the Black Keys serves as a gritty, blues-infused anthem that captures the band's early raw energy. The song features the signature interplay between Dan Auerbach's distorted guitar work and Patrick Fennelly's rhythmic vocals, establishing a sonic template that would define their subsequent career. Rooted in the classic rock and roll tradition, the recording reflects the band's deep engagement with the music of Junior Kimbrough and other blues pioneers. It stands as a pivotal moment in their discography, showcasing a sound that balances modern production with timeless, searing guitar tones. The track remains a staple of their catalog, often cited as a key influence on the garage rock revival movement of the 2010s.
