    I remember being 13 and sitting on my back porch with my mom. It was late spring and finally hot out. We were drinking tea and listening to this. Almost 10 years ago, and my heart aches for that time so bad. Also finding out that Jenny and Shannyn are both part filipina makes it more special bc my mother and I are filipina. This is so near and dear to me. When life is hard, I go to that memory and it's a safe place for me.

    Just like many others, I have only discovered this group of beautiful young ladies and their wonderful music this week. I was at a used record store and the cashier put a Warpaint LP on the stores sound system. That's what I took home.
    Every song on this album is a wonderful piece of work!

    Your brown eyes are my blue skies
    They light up the rivers that the birds fly over
    Better not to quench your thirst
    Better not to be the first one diving in
    Though you caught me and you know why
    You breathe in the deepest part of the water
    [Chorus]
    What’s the matter? You hurt yourself?
    Opened your eyes and there was someone else?
    Now I’ve got you in the undertow
    Now I’ve got you in the undertow
    Why you wanna blame me for your troubles?
    Ah ah ah you better learn your lesson yourself
    Nobody ever has to find out what’s in my mind tonight
    [Verse 2]
    Let tonight pass us by
    Do you really want to be the one to fight?
    And I said, “You’re better not to light that fire
    It will take you to the darkest part of the weather”
    [Chorus]
    What’s the matter? You hurt yourself?
    Opened your eyes and there was someone else?
    Now I’ve got you in the undertow
    Now I’ve got you in the undertow
    Why you wanna blame me for your troubles?
    Ah ah ah you better learn your lesson yourself
    Nobody ever has to find out what’s in my mind tonight
    Nobody ever has to find out what’s in my mind tonight
    Nobody in my mind, nobody in my mind
    I feel it in my heart tonight
    [Bridge]
    I lay on the floor, pressing in my eyes
    Seeing little lights
    Please light these decisions that only one could make
    I wanted to stay home but I went
    Running running running running from the troubles
    Running running running running from the troubles
    Running running running running from the troubles
    Running running running...
    What’s the matter? You hurt yourself?
    Opened your eyes and there was someone else?
    Now I’ve got you in the undertow
    Now I’ve got you so
    Why you wanna blame me for your troubles?
    Ah ah ah you better learn your lesson yourself
    Nobody ever has to find out what’s in my mind tonight
    I went running running running running from the troubles
    Running running running...
    Running running running running from the troubles
    Running running running...

      For me there is nothing not to understand in this video. Childhood memories, that age when childhood ends. You fall in love but are not so sure what to do about it. It just seems like very strange form of friendship and attraction. Beautiful strong emotions, but our age places us far from that, on the other side of the door. We can have it just like a memory and understand it when we see other kids going through something similar. Like in this video.
