Behind the Songs: Little Fist

A couple quotes from Richard Butler on the Love Spit Love song "Little Fist".


Richard Butler (on singing falsetto): "It was just something that happened on [Trysome Eatone]. And it happened quite naturally. It wasn't like I was thinking, 'I should go falsetto on a couple of places.' Most of these songs were written around my apartment with Richard Fortus, and a lot of acoustic guitar. When he played ('Little Fist') it just seemed natural to go into that voice." (Billboard 1997)


Richard Butler: "St. Marks [Place] is almost like a Third World street in some ways. There's this hotel, the St. Marks Hotel, where there's a death every four or five days. 'Little Fist' is about some of the people you see walking in and out of there." (Billboard 1997)
