Another searing track from the 1983 Lab Studios demo that featured “Rolling Soul” and “Nightfall”: Here’s Hair Theatre performing “Confession.”
Fabulous guitar work by Paul Allen; a slinky, sinuous rhythm section shaped by 13-year-old bass prodigy Sergio Castillo; and an emotionally charged performance by vocalist/songwriter/band shaman Sergio, who offers some psychological context to the song’s genesis.
“I wrote that when I was first learning how to write songs, way before I even got the band going,” Sergio says. “Being as tragic as one is as a teenager … That’s basically what that song is about — you feel like you’re the victim of everything!”
