"My Man Syd"

Barbie Army was a Chicago path-blazing all woman punk band in the 1980s.

Our pop-punk music was rediscovered on YouTube during the pandemic, and just released April 1 on a deluxe -song LP “Barbies Don’t Bleed”  from Berlin-based NoPlan Records.

People tell us that our music cheered them up — especially after their own bands broke up. You might say we make music to mend broken hearts.

 “I related to the Barbies, not just because they were a troupe of troublemaking women from Chicago, but also because we had similar styles—a penchant for poppy songs that flirted with chaos—and I felt connected to their lyrics,” –Jen Larson The Chicago Reader.

Have you ever heard a song lyric that perfectly captured how you were feeling? I first heard this song during the initial wave of the pandemic. I had just moved to a new city and didn't know a soul. On top of that, I was going through a breakup at the same time, when it was impossible to meet people since we were all cooped up. When I first heard "Isolation," the dreamy synths made me feel like I was flying over oceans and Iggy’s voice grabbed ahold of me and pulled me up from a deep underworld. I don't usually do covers, but this song in particular resonated with me in an essential way. It’s amazing how music can be there for you when you most need it, how therapeutic it can be.

lyrics:

Needed you
You were only using
Needing you just
Tore me down
Here I stand
In isolation
Feeling emptiness and doubt
Walking down the
Broken highway
Sucking sugar
Plain and sweet
Did your mother
Ever tell you
That the joyful are free
I need some lovin'
Like tequila needs a lime
I need some lovin'
Like a poet needs a rhyme
Here I stand in isolation
My empty hands - in isolation
Walking down the
Broken highway
Sucking sugar
'Cause it's my way
Find me one heart
To complete with
Heading for the
Farthest reaches
I need some lovin'
Like a body needs a soul
I need some lovin'
Like a fastball needs control
Here I stand in isolation
My empty hands - in isolation
