So begins an experimentation with trying to squeeze more out of less time — the 1 minute song. Buddy Holly was way better at this, I think.
—Lyrics—
my only friend
you’re in trouble again
lucky you have a blend you can trust
come to conclude
in an afterthought mood
someone else can be blamed no doubt
you have the smell of stale prayer
some thoughts are so easy to spare
please don’t call me I’m in my prime of mind not so easy to find
Not relevant to this song specifically, but I listened to “The States” on Pandora today. Actually, I just started listening. I wonder what kind of songs its going to link you guys with?
I guess you’ve probably already done this, but I will report my findings anyway:
Mike Garrigan (eh..)
Mock Orange
F** Bomb
Boys Like Girls (again, eh..)
Ted Leo & The Pharmacists
The Saints
Throw in 3-4 more states songs and you have the first 10 or so. Some of the connections I could see, a lot…not as clearly.
