IngeBerge

Thanks to Inge Berge’s vision, inspiration and all-night editing, we’ve got a treat for you this week.  He growls like Tom Waits and bangs on household implements in this bitter breakup video shot in his home studio.  Few songs express the pain we’ve all felt at one time or another as well as this one set to a catchy tune that will play in your head all day long.

Watch and listen carefully — you’ll see all the percussion in the song is from the kitchen, bathroom and bedroom.
