“I don't know where you find your nerve, 

I don't know how you choose your words, 

Speak the ones that suit you worse, 

Keep you grounded, sad and cursed, 

Circle the ones that come alive, 

Save them for the best of Jill Hives.”

So Jill Hives is not a real person. Apparently Robert Polard of Guided By Voices once upon a time misheard the title of the TV soap opera “The best of our lives”.

I am actually quite happy that he misheard the title don’t you agree that “Jill Hives” sounds way much cooler.

Guided By Voices – The best of Jill Hives is found on the record “Earthquake glue” released in 2003.
