Stumbeline appreciation thread
Such a lovely tune
The whole vibe and sense of nostalgia it has is amazing. Love the allusion to Ruby at the end, tying it in thematically with the rest of the album. The live version we got on the TAFH reissue is probably the best version. Something about that recording is sublime...going from hearing the shitty AUD source with people yelling over it to the nice clean soundboard....it's like a cozy parka in a blizzard. |

This is my favorite SP song
Could have been a proper A/B B-side to 1979 |

One of the purest examples of Billy's songwriting at its peak. Poetic, strange, compelling, beautiful.

I love Stumbleine, and I think this guy did a very nice write up of the song.

Stumbeline is sweet. twilight to starlight is my fav sp and stumbeline is essential.
the full band live ones during the charity adore tour were, for lack of a better word, senescent. |

I used to put this on repeat and fall asleep to it when I was 16, on the weekends when I came home drunk and stoned off my face and had to get up to work at the supermarket the next morning.
I felt so shitty going to sleep. Those were the worst nights. It was lifesaving to feel like there was one person in the world who knew what it felt like to need so much from a song. |

Probably best encapsulates everything about 90's Billy that I miss these days. It's vulnerable, longing, wistful, sentimental, nostalgic, and paints such a great picture.
You could re-light a fire under the guy's ass, and I'd still give him enough credit to be able to churn out some great rockers these days if he were hitting on all cylinders, but I don't think he could ever write anything like Stumbleine again if he tried. |

I really liked Stumbeline when I was a teenager, spoke to me (nobody nowhere understands..."). Not so much now

Probably a dumb question but did anyone else pick up the gynecological reference in "sally's in the stirrups claiming her destiny"?

It must depend on life experiences because I thought of horse riding. But I had heard stirrups in that context far more than in the gynaecological one, the first time I listened to it.

Honestly I always interpreted it gynecologically until literally yesterday when I read that article excerpt about horse stables

One of his best songs for sure. It conveys the sense of isolation that kids sometimes feel so well, full of longing for things that could be, but no idea how they could ever go from here to there. They have their whole lives ahead of them, but the future is too far down the road; and for the moment they feel powerless, and wistful, and just really lonely.
