"It's Too Late" comes from Black Sheets of Rain, the album Bob Mould released in 1990, and it's a one-man show in almost every department. Mould wrote the words and the music, sang lead, played guitar and keyboards, added percussion and produced it himself, with Steve Boyer engineering.

He brought in a sturdy rhythm section to hold up the roar: Anton Fier on drums and percussion and Tony Maimone on bass. The result is a thick wall of guitar with Mould shouting through it like a man trying to be heard over his own weather, bitter and melodic in the same breath.
