	"I Love You To Death" is one of my favorite songs...ever. A great hook. It's satiric lyric is a form of (what Mose Allison calls) "kidding on the square" - meaning that underneath the humor is a v-e-r-y serious statement. Atha's stinging guitar just knocks me out. This is a tongue-in-cheek paean to suicide sung with long vowels and punk attitude like Alex Chilton on "You Can't Have Me". Should be a hit single somewhere on the planet.

	Story Behind the Song "'Love you to Death'-we should probably talk about that one,"says Atha in a low, conspiratorial tone that illustrates the potential gravity of the controversy surrounding that song." I was watching OPRAH one day, and it was about people killing themselves, or trying to kill themselves, because their mate left them.They were saying things like,'I just couldn't go on knowing that she didn't love me anymore...' and I thought, this is assinine.This need to be parodied. So I came up with the first verse and the chorus, and played it for Kurt, just joking around, and we had a good laugh over it in my kitchen. But then he said,'Let's finsh it!' It's definitely not meant to make fun of suicide or in any way promote suicide-it's more of a spoof on OPRAH!"
