This song has been connected to the deceased musician Kurt Cobain. Cat Power hasn't confirmed or denied these assumptions but the song is about a famous musician who takes his life away due to fame.
2. Free
Free is one of the most upbeat songs of the album with happy folk tunes. It also contains some noticable musical elements such as a 1980s influenced drum beats, 1960s organ tunes, and modern guitar riffs.

This song was used in Jessica Biel's 2009 movie, Blue Powder. This song is for those listeners who appreciate home made tape recordings with a hint of blues.
