if i open a song with a one-and-a-half-minute ambient passage and then go straight into noisegrind, it's normal to me. that's how things happen in the world sometimes. -Fire Toolz

about the art of writing:

The only thing that really matters, it seems to me, is saying the thing that has to be said. If it really has to be said, it will create its own form.

-Paul Auster, april 1 1988.

Lovesong

‘Lovesong’ was, indeed, a straight up love song Smith had written to his wife, Mary Poole. The pair had been married in August 1988, and the song acted as a wedding gift. "I couldn’t think of what to give her," Smith would later (half) joke about a song that sounded at odds with the rest of Disintegration. "It’s taken me ten years to get to the point where I felt comfortable singing a straightforward love song. If that song wasn’t on the record, it would be very easy to dismiss the album as having a certain mood."
