Don't Use Me Up by Emily Wells published on 2015-06-10T20:30:13Z "Don't Use Me Up" was among the first songs written for the album some time ago during a time of particular abandon. I joke that it's a song about whiskey, friendship and Jesus, but in truth it was an s.o.s. to myself, to my future self, to people I loved, intended to remind us that the body is finite. As time passes so grows the meaning of the song and I now think most often of the finiteness of the planet when I sing it. The recording is one shade shy of a gospel hangover with all the instruments tempted to come off the rails when things get too quiet.
