A few weeks ago I was derping around my parents' house and sojourned to Value Village for a monthly adventure in hunting for vintage CDs. First score: a big-honking collection of Louis Armstrong. Second, and what got me the most excited in front of a group of strangers: the self-titled Violent Femmes debut album. I do have a greatest hits collection of theirs, so I did have about half the songs already, but I couldn't pass it up for three dollars. I'm glad that I did just so, or I probably wouldn't have "Please Do Not Go."
"Please Do Not Go" is another acoustic-powered folk fest from the alternative trio, and nothing too crazy. It's a relaxed track, and it's also a little sweet while being a little sad. Don't worry, it's nothing too complex to go over your head, just words above getting back the one who got away, and like a lot of songs that I love, there is a sense of hope. Hope is what fuels the engine, and Violent Femmes have it down pat. "Please Do Not Go" also makes me wish I didn't give up playing the acoustic guitar...again.
