This is definitely one that screams to be played live.

 

I think Jeff and the boys should dispel any ennui that some fans seem to be experiencing.

 

Love the future/retro sound. Pignose Bass, Farfisa organ. If the whole record has this kinda groove, I won't be disappointed.

Something like...

 

Was i wrong all all night long

So high as the stinking sun

I came alive and I felt

oh oh oh

 

Some guys have everything i know

It alright

I done a lot of crawling around outsid4e

And I heard its alright

 

Its so cold and its pissing blood

Its in the cars (oh we’ll see) everybody

Our lives let it taste let it go I don’t know oh

Got its neck bad shave and the low blow slowmo

Its alright you won’t set the kids on fire

Oh but I might…. hew

Come on do something mental

With the solar cars coming, I’m home

My magna cartas on a slim jim but brother

I sold the soul with a cold clean toke is a mother

Yeah that’s right, when you gonna find out ah only outasite

Is still mine do do do do dodo do

Its alright

Its alright you won’t set the kids on fire

Oh but I might

Its alright…

Well the lyrics are kinda pulled out of a hat, but it's alright - as Jeff is more than happy to tell us all. Love the bass and the xylophone.

Hey Lauren, I couldn't help remembering this exchange ...

 

I will donate my entire salary for three months to support the bandwidth of VC if the new 7", "I Might," is not a mid-tempo piece about falling short in love and life.

 

 

Woo, VC may thank you! Last weekend I attended our Hotel SnS basement show, and Jeff played this song. It's hard to know for sure from the acoustic version, but my somewhat hazy memory indicates that it sounded pretty rocking. Not sure I could speak to the overall lyrical content, but I think there was a line about setting kids on fire...

 

 

Shit. :lol I should have done some reconnaissance before posting that. Meh, I'll fork something over if I'm wrong, certainly. Money and the mouth and all that.

 

I know it was all in good fun, but VC does love donations! ;)

:lol The first time I heard the song it was like the noise of money flying out of my wallet. I'll definitely donate to the site, hopefully before the album drops, but my next five weeks include wisdom teeth removal (sans insurance), moving, and tuition/text books. So...not July or August.
