DINOSAUR JR. - TAKE A RUN AT THE SUN

 Catching The Sun's Embrace
 by R.C. Avellanosa

I don't want to compare any artist with Dinosaur Jr. but I can't help it. I hear The Beatles, B52s, and The Beach Boys on this. These tracks I think should have belonged to Hand It Over. On "Take A Run At The Sun", J Mascis is in the most happy mood. It's like a sunny song, worth playing on the beach, a refreshing drink under the heat of the sun. This track can also be found as a soundtrack for the film "Grace Of My Heart" which I never really saw. But the track was credited only to J Mascis and not as Dinosaur Jr. "Don't You Think It's Time" is the second track.  A soft rendering song. Is like the middle child of the record which is essentially is. "The Pickle Song" brings back that jolly mood mixed with Mascis' lazy chant. The shortest of the three, I am I little disappointed. It was just an eight minute drive. But I can go round and round and round though for which to replay and replay it over and over.

Eleven Tracks
What For
Words:
Today, I won't think of any sad things
Will not think of torture, or the rape of nature
Just today, I won't touch those sickening papers
Will just let myself get swept away by this beautiful day

What for, tell oh me, tell oh me, what for
What for, tell oh me, tell oh me, what for

The sunset tonight is beyond all words, in the sky above the square
The starling spiral dancing on air.

I will pass through the glass into air past those birds
In the square, I am sun, I am sky in my mind's eye

Today, I will dive into foaming seas
Sick fish, myself, and some strange debris.
I would prefer to be anywhere away from here
Oh I would prefer to be anywhere away from here
I would prefer to be anywhere away from here
I would prefer to be anywhere away from here

I will pass through the glass into air past those birds
In the square I am sun I am sky
