Xiu-Xiu - A Promise
As Per An Interview Regarding The Album This Song Was Inspired By A Girl Dating An Older Married Woman Who Lived Above Jamie In The Early Days Of The Band. “Most Of The Lines From The Song Are Things They Had Said To Each Other And It’s An Observation Of Their Impossible Attempt To Have A Relationship… Their Difficult Existence. At The Time It Was Very Specific But Now To Me It’s Probably Just About Difficult Existence In A More Personal Or General Way Depending On What Year It Is What Happens To Be Going On… Does That Even Make Any Sense?” The Version On The A Promise Album Is A Rework Of A Song By Jamie’s Previous Band Ten In The Swear Jar. “It Was A Song That Cory McCulloch Who Started Xiu Xiu With Me… Yeah We Both Liked It And Essentially Didn’t Want That Song To Go To Waste! I Also Think The Ten In The Swear Jar Version Didn’t Really Suit The Feel Of The Song With How It Was Arranged. More Of A Rock Feel.”

As per an interview regarding the album, this song was inspired by a girl dating an older married woman who lived above Jamie in the early days of the band.
“Most of the lines from the song are things they had said to each other, and it’s an observation of their impossible attempt to have a relationship… their difficult existence. At the time it was very specific, but now to me it’s probably just about difficult existence in a more personal or general way, depending on what year it is, what happens to be going on… does that even make any sense?”
The version on the A Promise album is a rework of a song by Jamie’s previous band, Ten in the Swear Jar.
“It was a song that Cory McCulloch, who started Xiu Xiu with me… yeah, we both liked it and essentially didn’t want that song to go to waste! I also think the Ten In The Swear Jar version didn’t really suit the feel of the song with how it was arranged. More of a rock feel.” Read more on Last.fm.
