about

This was the 60th song recorded for the album. My attempt at a Mitski song, certainly. As a songwriter it’s very exciting to finally find the perfect clothesline to hang the wet pants of emotional wounds on, and the high-concept of a deadpan recitation of the prescription for a breakup’s side effects felt like a great clothespin (sorry for that sentence I don't know how to make it better). I am at a loss for words to describe this song and how proud I am of it. I think it’s a ringing endorsement of forcing yourself to record a hundred songs for an album because eventually you land upon something that is so exciting and otherworldly, it feels weird to take any credit for it. All I did was put in some haunting breakup trauma into the song machine and out came this beautiful, hopefully comforting banger. I feel like the strongest songs on the pandemic trilogy usually land around the 8th or 9th track, so I hope this is as good as Maladaptive Daydream.

lyrics

To prevent further heartbreak, close your eyes
I will tell you when it’s clear
No more jump scares, no more fear
You may have lasting issues of the mind
This is normal, but call a doc
if you start to feel the shock

To prevent further heartbreak,
doc prescribed better pills, cheaper thrills
and a whole new set of eyes
You’ll be fine, you can see the world so clear
without me here

To prevent open wounds,
they recommend that old flame around the bend
Hold it close against your skin
This may cause complications of the head,
but it won’t awake the dead
Simply hold onto your sin

Doctor said I can go, now that I’m cured
better than he has ever seen before
in his ten thousand years of medicine
It went wrong, wrong again, and again
But I’m not so sure

To prevent further heartbreak, stop the car
Look around you, you are one with the Earth
and with the Sun

Where Is Your Dog Now? Los Angeles, California

Where Is Your Dog Now? is an alt-rock music project by Andrew Haworth based in Los Angeles. He has recorded hundreds of songs since its inception. Each album is a “greatest hits” compilation of these songs, constructed in large part based on feedback given by his mother. Haworth experiments with a wide range of genres, but most of his songs end up sounding like power-pop, and that's okay. ... more
