SONG: "Jealousy"
ARTIST: Mark Lind
ALBUM: "Death Or Jail"
YEAR: 2006
PLACE OF ORIGIN: Boston, Massachusetts
YEARS ACTIVE: 1995 - present
WHAT I THINK THE SONG IS ABOUT:
"Jealousy" appears to be a song about having a friend that got caught up in drugs and such and kinda let everyone down. Years created distance between the vocalist and his friend and at first in the song, you sense that the vocalist is done with him and wants nothing to do with him. But by the end of the song, it seems like the vocalist admits that he would be there for him if he reached out. I'm actually going through something like this with a long time friend so i can relate for sure.

MY THOUGHTS ON MARK LIND:
Mark Lind is a punk rocker from the Boston town of Charlestown. Lind was a teenager back in 1995 when he formed the punk rock band The Ducky Boys. While The Ducky Boys have been his main band, he has also played in the bands Sinners And Saints, Dirty Water and most recently, The Warning Shots as of 2015. But I'm here to talk about his solo works. Lind put out his first solo record in 2006, called "Death Or Jail" and he would stay busy on the solo front, releasing an album every year for four years. After "Death Or Jail", he put out "Compulsive Fuck Up" in 2007. In 2008, he began calling his solo efforts, Mark Lind & The Unloved. The first release under that moniker was 2008's "The Truth Can Be Brutal". Then in 2009, he released "Homeward Bound". In 2013, Lind put out a demo collection through his Bandcamp page. His most recent solo release was 2019's "The Last Bastion". The last few years, Lind has kept it pretty much local. He has his own label, State Line Records, and he was also selling vinyl punk albums or something like that. From his Facebook page, it sounds like he's eager to start doing music again. Lind is an important figure here in the Boston punk rock scene. The Ducky Boys are part of an array of great punk rock bands like Dropkick Murphys, Far From Finished, Street Dogs and Avoid One Thing to name a few. Mark Lind always seemed like he had something coming out for the better part of 25 plus years. If it wasn't the Ducky's, it was Saints And Sinners. If it wasn't Saints And Sinners, it was Dirty Water or solo stuff. The Warning Shots! He always seemed to be busy and putting out new music. It's been a little slow the last few years but like I said, it sounds like he wants to get back into the music. Hopefully that means new Ducky Boys! One can hope!
