Divorce Song, by Liz Phair.
It almost feels like cheating to do a song I’ve heard deconstructed and put back together again on the Song Exploder podcast…. but then again, I completely screwed up the vocal on the first try, kinda had to turn it into a round, and added some extra heavy chords in that one part where the chords are maybe different? The internet’s copy of the chords to this one is a little inconclusive, but I went with it.
There’s definitely going to be a lack of fidelity to the video in this one where I’m singing the “wrong” part.
This song hits way harder after you’ve, like, been in a relationship! Dear teenage self: Enjoy these songs, have your fun, but they will mean different things later.

Uh, so there are a bunch of tracks. Started with drum loops, and tried to be smarter about it today, leaving them short and looping the bass and guitar and other bits against those, before recording the vocal video with the short loop of everything else in the headphones.
