Underrated vocalist\/bassist Johnette Napolitano's descending chromatic bass line that opens \"Bloodletting (The Vampire Song)\" is a sinister backdrop to lyrics that pay tribute to the urban legends of New Orleans. The blistering \"The Sky Is A Poisonous Garden\" keeps the Blonde's punky roots intact while \"Caroline\" speaks to heart-wrenching emotions.\u003cbr\u003eJohnette's earthy imagery takes shape in \"The Darkening Of The Light,\" while the Hendrix-influenced \"I Don't Need A Hero\" makes the most of sparse percussion. \"Days And Days\" features Johnette's trademark spoken verse\/sung chorus style to great effect. The disturbingly sweet \"Joey\" is often misunderstood as a love song (in the tradition of \"Every Breath You Take\" by the Police) while \"The Beast\" personifies love as a predator.","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46440095580447,"sku":"826663120868","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/2790b63f3023b946509b2f94c528c30a.jpg?v=1777883428","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/bloodletting-20th-anniversary-edition","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
