There is perhaps no song that better encapsulates teenage angst and sexual frustration than Add it Up. The second song off the Violent Femmes debut album, most songs penned by Gano when he was only 17/18. It is a brutally honest rant to no one, that resonates with everyone. In it Gano describes the frustration that comes with not being able to “get just ONE fuck”. The angst that comes with being told not to do something just because you are young. The way rebellion makes you feel. And how it can all bring an adolescent to insanity, bordering on suicidal idealization. This is what defines their first album, a brutally honest exploration of the teenage psyche.
