"My Heart Bleeds the Darkest Blood" is a song from the

Shai Hulud from their debut album Hearts Once Nourished with Hope and Compassion. It is considered one of their most recognizable songs and is a live staple. The song was written in one night. The opening guitar riff was a direct result of the sadness everyone felt due to Oliver Chapoy
's mother dying.

The sample played before the song starts (on Solely Concentrating on the Negative Aspects of Life) is Bill Murray saying "It's gonna be cold. It's gonna be gray. And it's gonna last you for the rest of your life." in Groundhog Day (1993).

The lyric, "A rock feels no pain," is inspired by

I Am A Rock
."
