Frogtoon Music - Song Info: I Give Up

"I Give Up" Is The Fifth Song Off Of Caroline Polachek's Debut Studio Album "Pang". From Her Instagram “I Give Up Was My First Ever Collaboration With @dan_Nigro And One Of The Earliest Songs On Pang. Dan Played Me This Rough Instrumental Loop He’d Just Made With @jimestack And I Freaked Out Over The Sulky Chords And Broken Groove. I’d Only Just Met Dan That Day And Was Feeling Shy So Rather Than Writing New Lyrics On The Spot I Dug Back Through Old Journals And Unearthed This Fragment From 2012 “?? ????’? ??? ?? ???? ???? ???? ?? ?? ????? / ????? ????? ???? ????? ? ??? ?? ??? ?? ???? / ? ???? ?? / ? ???? ?? ?? ??? ??? / ??? ??? ??? ??? ???? ???? ???’?? ??????? ???? ?” ? Fast Forward A Year Even After I’d Taken The Song To London To Re-Texturize It With @speedy_Wunder And I Actually Cut ‘I Give Up’ From The Pang Tracklist Even Though I Loved It Because It Felt So Tonally Different. But I Put It Back On When It Became Clear It Was An Essential Piece Of The Story Pang Was Telling Apathy Is A Symptom Of Clearing Space For Something New Even If We Don’t Realize At The Time. And Its Not Always Pretty. ? ?”
