Along with such bands as Pavement and Guided By Voices, Sebadoh helped pioneer lo-fi, a style of indie-rock characterized by low-fidelity recording techniques, often on four-track machines. The band's early output, such as Weed Forestin (1990) and III (1992), was typical of this style, and wavered between Barlow's wry, introspective folk and Gaffney's psychedelic noise-rock experiments.
Following 1993's Bubble and Scrape, Gaffney left the band. His replacement, Bob Fay, appeared on the band's most acclaimed and consistent effort, 1994's Bakesale, which saw the emergence of the songwriting talents of multi-instrumentalist Jason Loewenstein, and the follow-up Harmacy in 1996.
Fay left the band before the sessions for The Sebadoh (1999), to be replaced by Russ Pollard. Following the tour to promote this album (2000), the band went on hiatus, with Barlow concentrating on his other project, the Folk Implosion, and Loewenstein working on material for his debut solo album At Sixes and Sevens, released in 2002. The two reunited to play concerts in late 2003 and the spring of 2004.
In 2006, III was reissued with a bonus disc and expanded liner notes. In 2007, the band (reunited with Eric Gaffney) was touring.
In 2013, Defend Yourself was released followed by Act Surprised in 2019.

Willing to Wait
Sebadoh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell him everything that you told me
Tell him that I'm still your friend
And maybe you would like to see me again
I'm willing to wait my turn to be with you
But I still have a lot to learn about me
And no one's sure if we should be together
But oh, when I saw you again
No, I cannot lie to you
I'm still in love with you, and I only wanna be with you
So when you see him again
Tell him everything that you told me
We're more than friends and maybe we should start again
Maybe you could love me again
βCuz oh, when I saw you again
A beautiful friend, she opened up her heart and let me in
No, I cannot lie to you
I'm still in love with you, and I only wanna be with you
I only wanna be with
you
The song by Sebadoh, "Willing to Wait," is about the singer's desire to be with someone they love. In the lyrics, the singer asks the person they love to tell their significant other that they still want to be friends and potentially see each other again. They express their willingness to wait for their turn to be with this person, but admit that they still have a lot to learn about themselves and are unsure if they should be together. However, when the singer sees this person again, they feel a rush of emotions and confess that they are still in love with them and only want to be with them.
The lyrics speak to the complexity of relationships and the uncertainty that comes with them. The singer expresses their vulnerability and the fact that they are still trying to figure out who they are and what they want out of life. They also acknowledge that there is a chance that things may not work out between them and the person they love, but they are willing to take that risk.

When you see him again
If and when you happen to see him again
Tell him everything that you told me
Convey to him the exact same information that you shared with me
Tell him that I'm still your friend
Let him know that we are still friends
And maybe you would like to see me again
If you're interested, perhaps you could consider meeting up with me again
I'm willing to wait my turn to be with you
I'm okay with being patient until the opportunity arises to be with you
But I still have a lot to learn about me
However, I acknowledge that I have a lot of self-discovery left to do
And no one's sure if we should be together
It's uncertain whether or not our relationship would be a good idea
But oh, when I saw you again
But the moment I laid my eyes on you again
A beautiful friend, she opened up her heart and let me in
A lovely friend allowed me inside her heart
No, I cannot lie to you
I must be honest with you
I'm still in love with you, and I only wanna be with you
I am still deeply in love with you and my desire is to only be with you
We're more than friends and maybe we should start again
Our relationship has evolved beyond friendship, and perhaps we should start over
Maybe you could love me again
Perhaps you could develop feelings for me once more
I only wanna be with you
It is my one and only desire to be with you
