Red Collar - Jinx Removing

A really great country cover of the classic Jawbreaker song. The great thing about Blake Schwarzenbach songs is they can be taken out of the punk rock musical settings and still hold up well. This slowed down version of Jinx Removing brings out the romantic longing of the lyrics.

Jawbreaker - Equalized

This is a classic Jawbreaker performance from 1992. Blake Schwarzenbach's was shot. So he brought fans from the audience to sing. I wish I knew the name of the instrumental before Equalized. It is fantastic.

Jawbreaker - Peel It the Fuck Down

Why Jawbreaker didn't put this song on 24 Hour Revenge Therapy is beyond me.

Jawbreaker - Equalized

Very early Jawbreaker. I believe Equalized originally came out as a 7 inch vinyl.

Jawbreaker - Sea Foam Green

This song should have been the hit single for Dear You. For some unknown reason, Jawbreaker left this song off the record. This also contains some of my favorite Jawbreaker lyrics.

"Now I need a guillotine to get you off my mind."

"An accidental charm a graceful drinking arm."

"I brush my teeth until they break until I start bleeding. So when I smile I'll know I'm almost good enough for you."

This is songwriting at its finest.

Jawbreaker - Kiss the Bottle

Kiss the Bottle has some of the best lyrics ever in a punk rock song. The Jawbreaker classic deals with alcoholism, homelessness, and drug abuse. Every word of this song rings authenic. Song Meanings has the lyrics.

Jawbreaker - In Sadding Around

This is lyrically one of the best songs ever about the ending of a relationship.


Sleeping off the last five years takes another five.
Recovery in lieu of being
here right now.
When I throw myself at your feet, you know it's to be walked
on. We're breaking up every single night.
If I had a choice don't you think I'd make it?

Jawbreaker - Sleep

Sleep - Jawbreaker

The song rocks. It took me awhile to figure out the song is about depression and suicide. Blake Schwarzenbach's rasp is hard to understand.
