Music

The sweet power of shuffle, you know how it works. you hit that icon in your music player of choice. It randomly spits out songs. Every-now-and-then one pops up that you forgot about. It gets your attention, and you turn to the display to see what it is. You know the artist but what is this gem that i have never heard before.

Well that happened to me, I know I have heard the song pink drink before, but this time it really resonated. After it was over I wanted to hear it again and again. Robert Pollard has a way of making you want to hit repeat. Check it out, it is on Suitcase: Failed Experiments & Trashed Aircraft.

Suitcase: Failed Experiments & Trashed Aircraft

I saw you yesterday
Looked like you were running away
You seemed so uneasy
That’s not the way to please me
We gotta go to the harm tonight
We gotta get our minds alright
Doesn’t hurt to have a taste
Haven’t got a life to waste
With pink drink
We bear witness to the sound
Gotta lotta points to sell
Closer up than anyone can tell
With pink drink it’s much better
And so much more fun

Who’s gonna pull the magic string
Sitting on the throne of the lonely king
And it’s not who we blow
But who we blow off
That smooths our heads in a pink cloud
The world’s so stiff in its usual form
But our spin shakes like a tube in a storm, yeah
