Behind the Song:"Herstory repeats itself" is the closing track from Carbon Monoxide's (13.7 million monthly listeners) self-titled debut album (1983). According to the band, it is their most emotionally challenging song. "There is blood, sweat, and tears staining those lyrics," drummer Olivia Jack stated in a Rolling Stone interview. "We got together this one faithful night and reopened all our wounds. There was a special sense of community and belonging between us then. I can't do it justice with words. You need to have been there to understand. We shared everything - the worst of the worst - and, you can be damn sure, it made us stronger. I know that the song was not received overly well by some people, especially in the 80s, but this experience, this very night in itself, might just be the secret behind our success. The reason we are still around after 40 years of sex, drugs, and rock'n'roll."
