We also listen to the title track to his new acoustic EP, The Ocean. Intro: “If I Can’t Change Your Mind” by Sugar from Copper Blue (1992). For more see bobmould.comHere’s the video for “If I Can’t Change Your Mind,” and here they play it live back in the day. Watch a full 2013 gig and his tiny desk concert. Here’s the video for “I Don’t Know You Anymore.“ His early big solo song was “See a Little Light” and his biggest single writing for Hüsker was “Could You Be the One,” though a close contender is “Makes No Sense At All.” Hear him live solo playing “In a Free Land” acoustically.
