#189 of 366: Superfly, Raury

The guitar sets the tone on this one. Love the strum pattern and sound! Let this song set the vibe of your Saturday. Hope you and yours are doing well!

“Fly, I do this for life, king of the clouds there’s a ribbon in the sky, drive by anyone that tell me plan B should’ve been Plan A, B people don’t see when you’re superfly, features extent-iary definition, you can get a dictionary, everybody in the air like love in February, don’t believe it exist so maybe we are afraid, kids these days crazy off the drugs, kids these crazy off the drugs, know the world can already can nobody tell us shit, and we never get together so the bars never split, when you’re livin’ in the city you don’t want to be a mess, so we get used to being a-lone, pack of cigarillos, a smooth bottle of Patron, a world where I can chill with no plan to stay long, cause im’ma live it up until I die, superfly”

Be good, do good!

#188 of 366: You Should Be Hated Here, Carissa’s Weird

This is some dope sounding indie rock in the vein of Death Cab For Cutie and has a little bit of a Jimmy Eat World ballad sound to it. I think that’s why I like it.

“I’m only here to fall apart, you’ve been angry from the start, but I know these train wrecks happen all the time, and everything that no one knows, you should be hated here by now, this was the prettiest like that I told tonight, it’s been the prettiest lie that I told all year”

Enjoy the sound!

Be good, do good!

#187 of 366: NDN Kars – Remix, The Halluci Nation, Keith Secola

Ever wonder what Native American music might sound if you put a Beach Boys spin on it?

This just seems like a summer romp song! Just trying to get to the party, man!

Love this band, it’s energy, and the song! It’s a shorty, so here’s the whole song:

“I’ve been driving in my Indian Car, to the pound of the wheels drumming in my brain, my dash is dusty, my plates are expired, please Mr. Officer, let me explain, I’ve to make it to a Pow-Wow tonight, I’ll be singing 49, down by the river side, looking for a sugar, riding in my Indian Car, my car is dented, the radiator steams, one headlight don’t work, the radio can scream, I got a sticker, it says; “Indian Power”, I stuck it on my bumper, that’s what holds my car together, were on the circuit of an Indian dream, we don’t get old, we just get younger, when we’re flying down the highway, riding in our Indian Cars”

Be good, do good!

#186 of 366: You’re Somebody Else, flora cash

Some beautiful guitar in the beginning of this one! These two are so so good at the melancholy sound.

“You were the better part, of every bit of beating heart that I had, whatever I had, I finally sat alone, pitch black flesh and bone, couldn’t believe that you were gone, well, you look like yourself, but you’re somebody else, only it ain’t on the surface, well you talk like yourself, no, I hear someone else though, now you’re making me nervous”

Hope you’re having a good one, whenever this post/song finds you!

Be good, do good.

#183 of 366: Family, Noah Gundersen

Noah has one of the most heart-breakingly honest voices and this song puts it front and center as he drags through some of those lyrics like a dull blade that somehow cuts oh so sweetly.

We heard from him earlier in post #143. https://everything-etc.com/2024/05/21/143-of-366-ledges-noah-gundersen/

“Say something awful, as if fucking the world is your right, and I watch you stumble, drunk out into the night, to cat call ladies, you’re thirsty for blood, you’re pickin’ a fight, and I wanted to ask you man whatta you do, in the daylight, so bum me a cigarette, buy me a beer till I’m happy to be here, happy to be here, with all of my family hookers in heels and the men who watch them like hungry black eels”

Be good, do good, my friend!

#182 of 366: Here’s To Endings, Handsome Ghost

My Ava-Bean graduated High School tonight and it’s pretty mind-blowing to come to grips with that. But like this song is titled, “Here’s To Endings”!

What a journey, for her, her classmates and even myself when I think about it in that context. Look at how much things have changed. They’re going to change whether we pay attention to the NOW as it’s happening or not.

Let’s set the intention to be in more moments, starting now, so we don’t have to look back and lament at how fast time passed.

Be good, do good.

#180 of 366: Walls, AVEC

Great song here by AVEC! I love how deep her voice is and that little bit of leather it has! This one has a great little tempo to it.

“And though, I still feel you, I hate that I still feel, I know we’ll never find our way to each other, ’cause we’re just too scared of what we don’t know, and I try to take the weight of this love off my shoulders, ’cause I know I’m better off dancing on my own”

Today’s my first day of summer vacation! Looking forward to using this summer to better myself.

Be good, do good.

#178 of 366: Me & Me, The Beaches

This band is probably my favorite find of 2023 the more I listen to them. I just love the energy that they are bringing!

“I know a girl who spent a year and a half crying, in the bottom of a bathtub, it was really such a bad look, then on New Year’s Eve, someone yelled “ten, nine, eight”, everybody kissed, then she punched them in the face, woo”

Enjoy!
