MUSIC THAT MATTERS – “Lyric of the Day”

(Music Cut #1)

On this date — February 23rd, 1999 —

Lit released their second studio album:

A Place in the Sun

(Music Cut #2)

The lyrics for the breakout hit —
“My Own Worst Enemy” —
weren’t written in some fancy studio.

They were scribbled on a piece of scrap paper
on the bench seat of front man A. Jay Popoff’s old Cadillac
while he was stuck in LA traffic.

And then he doubled down on the vulnerability.

He wanted to feel as exposed
as the lyrics sounded.

So he recorded the vocals…

completely naked.

(Music Cut #4)

LYRIC OF THE DAY:
“I am my own worst enemy
’cause every now and then
I kick the living shit out of me.” — Lit
