Dave Pirner wrote "Bittersweet Heart" by himself for Let Your Dim Light Shine, Soul Asylum's 1995 album, and he didn't stop at singing and guitar: the credits also hand him organ and trumpet. Dan Murphy plays guitar and sings too, Karl Mueller holds down the bass, and Sterling Campbell covers drums, percussion and background vocals.
The band produced it with Butch Vig, John Siket engineered, and Andy Wallace mixed, and the title promises both halves of the deal, the sugar and the sting, from a band that always sounded most at home somewhere in between.
