Wash Me Down
"Wash Me Down" is an unreleased song by Ween. It is a White Pepper outtake.
Song Details[edit | edit source]
"Wash Me Down" is found on The Long Beach Island Tape, a tape of White Pepper demos stolen from the band in 2000. As such, the ethics of circulating this song are disputed.
Recording and Composition[edit | edit source]
"Wash Me Down" is in the key of F major.
Dean Ween has explained that "Wash Me Down" was inspired by the winter beach house setting where it was written and recorded: "Every time after we fished, we'd have to be washed outside to get off the sand."[1] He also said that this song (as well as "Alcan Road") was musically inspired by the Pink Floyd album More.[1]
Lyrics[edit | edit source]
Covered in dirty from the land
Wash me down
Wash me down
Sank by sleeping in your head
Wash me down
Wash me down
Build a better feather till the weather's gone
Gone
Oooooh....
Build a better feather till the weather's gone
Going home
Take it, Deaner
