Songs We Love is a series and a podcast that looks at the stories behind some of the songs we're playing on our new music discovery stream, WUNC Music.
This time, Eric Hodge sits down with Bob Mould to discuss his song "I Don't Know You Anymore" from the album Beauty & Ruin.
On the surface, "I Don't Know You Anymore" sounds like a break up song but Mould tells us that it's something more than that. Like many of his compositions, the tune's dark lyrics are accompanied by bright and catchy guitar hooks.
'That contrast has been a staple of my songwriting. It's something that comes naturally to me.'
