#11 of 366: Blame Brett, The Beaches

This song is a certified banger from beginning to end. I thank Alt-Nation on SiriusXM radio for introducing me to this one. 

We romp from the very beginning. These girls are one of the bands I had mentioned back on the JOSEPH song Green Eyes and boy do they set a crazy pace from the get-go. They’re made up of a couple sisters and their best friends and they fucking throw down.

I love that they themselves describe this song “a song for all the hot messes out there.” How can we all not relate?

“Done being the sad girl, I’m done dating rockstars, from now on only actors, tall boys in the Raptors, I’ll become an asshole, disguised as a bad girl, in my button-up shirt, a natural disaster, hey”

The tight percussion and driving guitar rhythm leads us down a railroad track of angst and anger that explodes in the chorus. It really is a fantastic driving rhythm. 

The verses though are where the great song-writing is on display. (First one posted above, second below)

“That’s why I won’t get vulnerable, don’t you dare get comfortable, heartbreak is impossible, feelings doing somersaults, I’m not ready for therapy, to take accountability, right now it’s about me, me and only ’bout me, hey”

I just love that this song is a quick sub-3-minute kinetic energy bomb that we can’t help but move to, or at the very least tap our foot to. I hope you enjoy it and maybe let your hips move a little to it like I did.

I hope you liked it! Have a great day. Thanks for reading.

  1. There’s a lyric in the middle that takes absolutely no sense in this song. Like maybe they had a quick stroke during the middle chorus or something? Perplexing. Otherwise, a fun song!
