The words “not" and “nor" keep recurring in the intriguing song full of mystery-it has all the attributes for becoming an earworm, or, if not that, of being put on repeat on your playlist for quite a while.īut the lyrics (example:“ Not the meat of your thigh/ Nor your spine tattoo/ Nor your shimmery eye/ Nor the wet of the dew/ It’s not the warm illusion/ Nor the crack in the plate/ Nor the breath of confusion/ Nor the starkness of slate") are just one of the things about Not that makes it such an addictive track.

The one song that turned me into a fan of the indie rock band Big Thief is titled Not.
