See How We Are

The title track, issued as a single in 1987.
X, from See How We Are (1987)

Track six, the end of side one, runs 3:46. The album credits it to Cervenka and Doe, although one summary of a Trouser Press review gave the title track to Alvin, which the credits contradict. Punknews.org calls it mournful and moving and AllMusic, via the band's site, one of the band's best ballads. A 2002 Rhino reissue includes a demo and remix at 3:57, and we cannot tell which our upload is. We found no statement from the band on its meaning, no chart history for the single and no video. The title is now also used for the acoustic duo shows of Doe and Cervenka, including the Parkway Theater in Minneapolis on August 5, 2026.
