Mimi Parker wrote this song about her and Sparhawk’s first child, Hollis.
The high-pitched squeaking noises audible throughout the track are recordings of Hollis cooing and babbling.
Filling holes with tiny sounds
Shiny from the inside out
Picture of you where it began
In metal
In metal
Partly hate to see you grow
And just like your baby shoes
Wish i could keep your little body
In metal
In metal
In metal
In metal
In metal
In metal
In Metal was written by Alan Sparhawk & Mimi Parker & Zak Sally.
In Metal was produced by Steve Albini.
