“Inside” by Patti Rothberg

"Inside" was the first single from Between the 1 and the 9, Patti Rothberg's 1996 debut, and it became a minor hit on alternative rock radio. She wrote it, as she wrote every song on the album, many of them during a stay in Paris in 1992 and 1993, and she handled all the guitar and bass parts; Little Dave Greenberg produced.

The title points to the New York City subway stop where she used to busk, and she painted the cover art herself. She drew comparisons to Alanis Morissette and other women singers of the mid-'90s, but had no time for the "tortured female syndrome" tag. Entertainment Weekly praised her songcraft and grainy voice, likening her to a female Dylan, and she took the album on the road with Primitive Radio Gods, among others.
