"Tell Me Where It Hurts" is the 2007 lead single from alternative rock band Garbage's career-spanning greatest hits album ''Absolute Garbage'', and was released as a physical single by A&E Records in the United Kingdom and Ireland, and as a digital single or airplay-only release in other worldwide territories.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=New Best Of Album )〕 "Tell Me Where It Hurts" was written by Garbage members Duke Erikson, Shirley Manson, Steve Marker and Butch Vig in Los Angeles in March 2007 after an eighteen-month hiatus from working as a group, as they needed to write some new songs for inclusion on ''Absolute Garbage''. The song was written around a string arrangement by the band〔 coupled with newly written lyrics and a title that vocalist Manson had come up with a few years prior.〔Interview with Duke Erikson, ''Lime'' magazine, September 2007 issue〕 ==Song== Garbage began work on "Tell Me Where It Hurts" in earnest during February and March 2007 at Vig's home studio in Los Angeles,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Another Butch interview )〕 ending their self-imposed hiatus to record new tracks following the band's appearance at a benefit show in Glendale, California for musician Wally Ingram who had been suffering from throat cancer.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Garbage End Sabbatical for Benefit Show )〕 In an interview prior to that event, drummer Vig told ''Billboard'' "Despite the layoff, the group has been sharing song ideas via the Internet. We need to sit down in a room and play them and get them complete".〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Garbage, Raitt Lead Benefit For Veteran Drummer )〕 The genesis of "Tell Me Where It Hurts" came from Garbage jamming in a Bacharach-style, which took shape in the recording studio once guitars were added.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=The End of Chapter One )〕 Manson did not want the song to be a "simple, lovey-dovey love song, it had to have strange connotations".〔Shirley Manson, as quoted on ''The Making of "Tell Me Where It Hurts"''〕 During the sessions to write new songs for ''Absolute Garbage'', Garbage worked on four songs - "Tell Me Where It Hurts", "Betcha", "All The Good In This Life" and "Girls Talk Shit".〔''Classic Rock'' magazine, August 2007〕 Of the four songs, only "Tell Me Where It Hurts" made the album, while of the other three songs, one ended up a b-side,〔 one an iTunes bonus〔Email from Warner UK, dated July 20, 2007, regarding the release of ''Absolute Garbage'': "You can also download the album from iTunes for the iTunes exclusive album featuring an exclusive new track, entitled 'All The Good In This Life'"〕 and one remaining unreleased respectively. Garbage completed two versions of "Tell Me Where It Hurts": an orchestral version and a "Guitars Up" mix with a rockier arrangement.〔 Bass on "Tell Me Where It Hurts" was performed by Daniel Shulman,〔"Tell Me Where It Hurts" sleeve credits〕 who had been Garbage's touring bassist from 1995 until 2002, as well as performing on tracks from both ''Version 2.0'' and ''Beautiful Garbage''. This was his first appearance on a Garbage track since taking up an A&R position with Island Def Jam Music Group in 2003.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=01.26.04 Studio Diary #13 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tell Me Where It Hurts (Garbage song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
