Song w great lyric.


Springsteen is a god here in Jersey. He wrote amazing lyrics. Like poems.

This song is totally overplayed but the lyrics evoke something so NJ, so being 19: cars and girls, warm summer nights. Magic. And we like Asbury Park. Had a good discussion w our punk rock neighbors just last nite about how great Asbury park was before it got gentrified.

Route 9, the boardwalk, Wall Township Speedway, the bennies, the bikers, feeling like you have no control over your own life…

 
Day 12: A song with a great lyric

Seba Jun, what a wonderful mind you had... Mixing jazz and hip hop and funk and spoken word. There's nobody quite like him. Teaming up with Pase Rock to create this heavenly flow. Mwah.

What I wouldn't do to hear @morelikeasong rap this 😍

you wanna get on? you gotta get right
hold on, sit tight, look at the dim light
take a breath, ask yes with some insight
say yes from your belly through your wind pipe

...and the beat goes...


Nujabes - Yes!

 
Day 12: A song with a great lyric


Joe Henry - Fireman's Wedding
Joe is a poet, his words swirl around and capture a moment. This was the first one where i truly fell in love with his music.
"There's a wind that will blow every streamer and sign from the cars.
And we'll chase every plate of food rolling out through the yard.
And I'll wrap myself around you as the clouds blow away from the stars"

"As if all news will be good news from now on"
