Obviously I'm late to the party here. Only subscribed back in October and I'm greedily consuming prior posts in my spare time (like when I'm very clearly NOT avoiding family on Christmas Eve).
Anyway, if it helps, we all have this kinda stuff, and it makes us better. My first day at my new job as a lawyer I sang "Uncle Fucker" from the South Park Movie in the middle of a Houlihan's during a welcome lunch. Cringe? Absolutely. One of those moments that continues to shank you in the shower for decades to come in the Highlight Reel of Shame? Certainly.
You may be asking yourself "you went to law school and don't know better than to sing 'Uncle Fucker' your first day on the job?" No, no I did not. Common sense has always been an issue.
BUT....that shit used to play at my old job, and the blank stares or averted gazes were a professional wake-up call for this job. The point is I wouldn't have known not to do it until I did it. You tried some shit out, and in retrospect, you're not particularly proud of it. But it sent you on the road to your own identity as a band, and it therefore has value.
And for the record (or records, as it were...I'll see myself out), none of those songs are anything near as cringe as singing Uncle Fucker in front of your new boss on your first day of work.
Devastated that Leonard Cohen made this list, 'The light is glowing softly now I'll see you down in hell' *accelerating fiddle shredding commences* was one of my early favourite Dreadnoughts musical moments

Well, OK, if you insist, but you either broke Old Man Murphy's heart.........or made his day.
I have always wondered about that seemingly gibberish line in Sons of Murphy. Now I know it's actually gibberish
