Day 18: Nude

In Rain­bows (2007)

This song has had a long life. It’s been played live for years, and they never found a suit­able way to play it in the stu­dio. It used to be called “Big Ideas (Don’t Get Any)”, but they went with the “scan­dalous” title “Nude”. I didn’t find it very sin­gu­lar live, but I’ve really taken to this stu­dio track. It’s like an old blan­ket that you wash for the first time in ages. All warm and snuggly.

Notable lyric: So don’t get any big ideas / they’re not going to hap­pen / You’ll go to hell for what your dirty mind is thinking
