“I can’t help but pull the earth around me, to make my bed”
I think I’ve been listening to Indie 88 a lil too much. It hits its gear ramping up for the final go around….
….to wrreeeeeeeeccccccccckkkkkkkkkk…
Ship to Wreck 2:56 – 3:40
From How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful, released through Island records, 2015
“I just want back in your head…”
I think if you know this song, you’ll agree with me. The run, run, run part is a sneaky lie as James Murphy would say.
Unless you’d say the piano part, man I can play that.
Back in your Head 2:16 – 2:46
From The Con, released through Vapor records, 2007.
“be my little baby, baby my darling… ”
This one’s obvious, just like Ronnie sang.
Take me home tonight 2:14 – 2:38
From Can’t Hold Back, released through Columbia Records, 1986
“They say the devil’s water, it’s ain’t so sweet, you don’t have to drink right now, but you can dip your feet, every once in a little while….”
The blog’s been getting a little new school recently, so I thought I would harken back a little. I’ve always loved this part of the song, but I never really paid 100% attention to what he was saying in the above quote until I just wrote it out. Nice work Brandon. These guys are from Vegas, and at this time of year, I start thinking back to the pool parties and the super fun casinos. Yes, I will be back!!
When You Were Young 1:55 – 2:33
From Sam’s Town, released through Island Records, 2006
“he was just an old friend..”
So listenable, so smooth. Discovered on the Fader podcast which I did a feature on 5 years ago (albeit in a different form).

“I see you shine in your way, go on, go on, go on”
I love that instrument in the background. This is a good one to start off year #3. I thought I’d be rich by now though…
