Heavy, yeah.

And it's Jack White singing this on stage with his ex-wife.

And there's just always a tension and a drama between those two there.

So much of that is projected and what have you and performative, but there's just something about like, this is a couple who's performing this raw, dirty blues song on stage.

together and there's a dance that's happening and there's already a dance that's happening with like the blues and garage rock but jack white is just in this space performing the song and there's like a moment where he he he chooses to vamp and more often than when he did this song live like in traditional blues culture you would pull bits and pieces of other songs and throw them in the middle of a blues song they were they were folk in that way they were like they were temporary and modular in that sense

And so a lot of times he would, in the middle of this song, throw in old blues songs and then turn to Meg and see them.

I believe in this one he uses an old, what's the song?

Is it like John the Revelator?

I forget what it is, but he,

He basically takes another blues song, makes it into a spoken rant that he goes from performing to the audience to performing to Meg.

That's, I believe the line, it's so hard to love someone who doesn't love you.

that he's fucking singing to his ex-wife.

Wow.

On stage.

And he's like, he's like chanting, he's emotional, he's sweaty, and he like drops it, and then he like turns, drops to his knees, and then goes into the guitar solo.

Which is just like, to me, it's kind of everything all in there.

Like you can...

read into it or not but this is like a couple creating music borrowing blues and storytelling like chopping it up and making it about what's happening right here and now oh it's i love this one of my favorite rock songs and rock performances for sure

I love it.

All the live versions of this are great, but this is one of my faves.
