“Sick Like Me” by In This Moment

"Sick Like Me" was the opening shot from Black Widow, In This Moment's fifth album, premiering on Sirius Octane in September 2014 before Atlantic sent it out as the record's first single. It picks up the thread from Blood, the album before it: Chris Howorth and Randy Weitzel grind out crunchy electric guitar, Travis Johnson holds down the bass, Tom Hane adds percussion, and big melodic choruses climb out of the churn. Maria Brink flips between clean singing and raw screams, and plays the piano too.

Brink wrote the words and has pitched them as a love song for the beautifully strange: being loved flaws and all, by someone who wouldn't change a thing about you. She co-wrote the music with Howorth, Kevin Churko and Mitchell Marlow, and co-directed the video with Robert Kley.
