What I like about this song is the way that it stutters rhythmically. It\u2019s got a tasty groove to it, but to give it more character the synths are punchy, giving the drums more space to stop and start. This also gives way to the vocals being able to be the star here. An enjoyable listen indeed! The title is misleading, you would think that you\u2019re going to hear a pop song but this is anything but that, it\u2019s dark in its progression, and it\u2019s half time in tempo.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I like that.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The transistor tuning at the beginning is genius because it\u2019s matching real world to words – there\u2019s a word for that\u2026\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But the first verse is this:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOur dead land is just a stop,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So let\u2019s open up our soda pop<\/p>\n

And drive in the mist,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Their venom is spilled\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Their venom is spilled.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The meaning could be simple but for me, it\u2019s saying the world is screwed (our dead land is just a stop)<\/p>\n

So let\u2019s just carry on the way we are (Let\u2019s just open up our soda pop – it could be a soft drink or alcohol – either way too much would be self destructive)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And watch the world slowly die anyway. (Their venom is spilled.)<\/p>\n

But hey that\u2019s just my take.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The distuned notes towards the end is disconcerting but it makes for an interesting listen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
