Powder Keg

Theresa’s Sound World Music Blog Collection This tune has plenty of space to grow and form, nice & unhurried. It has a spacy, dreamlike feel with it's slightly slowcore-style drum patterns and ethereal vocals-not unlike the experimental nuances of bands such as Mercury Rev & the Flaming Lips. There's a subtle melancholy here too, in the lyrics & their delivery-Reminds me of old school Americana-tinged indie, bands like Galaxie 500 and Saturnine 60. A hook filled killer chorus is one of this song's main draws; plus, the effective, economic and simplistic guitar strumming proves that you don't have to go all widdly-diddly with your guitar work to nail a fantastic tune

lyrics

if you stay with me
i will change my ways
countin' down the days
till you’re with me again

and it’s safe to say
that i’m feelin’ this way
and things haven’t been ok
since i left you that night

she’s my everything
not a second thought
the tiny voice in my head
telling me i’m gonna get caught

in her voice is a choice
of what i’ll choose
can i borrow a light
to ignite this fuse

and i sleep to dream
but it’s not what it seems
and tonight i keep you warm
fall asleep in my arms

weeks turn to months
and you haven’t kept in touch
have you heard i lost my leg
from the blast of a powder keg

she’s my everything
not a second thought
the tiny voice in my head
telling me i’m gonna get caught

in her voice is a choice
of what i’ll choose
can i borrow a light
to ignite this fuse
