MUSIC THAT MATTERS – “Lyric of the Day”

(Music Cut 1 — opening of “The Freshmen”)

This song was navigating the charts —
on February 10th, 1997

The Verve Pipe’s
“The Freshmen.”

(Music Cut 2 — verse settles in)

There’s a line in the song —
“She was touching her face.”

That detail didn’t come from nowhere.

Lead singer Brian Vander Ark has said
it was inspired by a music video
from the Divinyls.

(Music Cut 3 – “I Touch Myself”)

He thought the way lead singer Chrissy Amphlett touched her face was incredibly seductive, so he wrote it straight into the song.

(Final – Music Cut 4 – “She was touching her face”)

LYRIC OF THE DAY:
“What made us think that we were wise
and we’d never compromise?” — The Verve Pipe
