Everclear

Everclear is the fifth album by San Francisco band American Music Club. Overall, the album received widespread praise, but was criticized for being overproduced, despite having been released on an independent label. "Sick of Food," a fan favorite, is a turbulent song, sung from the perspective of an AIDS patient whose medications have left him unable to eat. It starts catatonically, and concludes with Eitzel screaming "Now I wake up and I don't have any gravity/ Feel the whole world drawing away from me/ Now I wake up, so now I wake up/ What good is it?/ Another bright nothing/ Another day." "Rise" was released as a single via the Rise CD maxi-EP (Alias Records, 1991), which contained the non-album tracks "Chanel #5," "The Right Thing"...
