`Sickly` was written entirely in the studio over the course of a few hours. The guys (Aaron, Nick & Jesse) began to jam on a moody song in the main room while I (Scott) tried to work out a suitable melody and lyrics. Without much warning `Sickly` was born. Very moody. Slightly aggressive. Quiet and loud. `Sickly` remains one of my very favorite Lu songs - partly because I think it`s a good song, and partly because of how mysteriously it came to be. Coupled with `My World Falls Down` on the tail end, `Sickly` has also been a favorite concert song. An equally moody video for `Sickly` can be found on Poor Old Lu`s 1995 video cassette, `Sit & Stare`.
This song is strangely simplistic lyrically. The verses deal with opposite extremes, for the most part, such as "sunny/raining" or "sad/happy", while the chorus is just flat-out frustration and confusion. It isn`t until the last few lines that any good comes of it all - "well, i don`t know much, but i think i`m on my knees; well, i don`t` know much, but i think i gotta pray". Sometimes that`s what it all comes down to - still dealing with the pain, confusion and frustration, but knowing *only* that we have to pray. Amen.
