    One of the best feelings in life is discovering your new favorite song completely by accident. Me and my sisters were on vacation in Hawaii taking the scenic route to a black sand beach when I decided to put on a random playlist on Spotify. Never even heard of this band and this song came on. It was perfect. Now all I can think of when I hear this song is driving through Big Island in a jeep with my sisters. 🏝

    I'm just reflecting how making a CGI character dance is probably way cheaper now than it is back then. While back in the day using puppets for a music video is probably more economical. I bet you it was pricier to produce this video with puppets than CGI.

It will have faded during a busy afternoon, but as soon as I'm vacuuming, cooking, cleaning, washing-up, having a bath or just lying in bed trying to get to sleep.. it wriggles its way out of its hiding place in my brain then decides to play on repeat inside my head.

    for anyone wondering, here are the lyrics:
    Girl in the bathroom, Florida key
    Certainties all away
    Brother of cocaine, a tequila son-in-law
    End of the world today
    How do the clouds get as pink as a peach?
    Strike up the contraband
    Get introduced to God in the negative
    Both supply and demand
    All day swimming, under the palm trees
    Look how they gracefully sway
    Some kinda gin drink, some kinda jewelry
    Some kinda fancy machine
    Why is there always crying and quarreling
    Filtering through the malaise?
    I can hear someone runnin' their mouth and
    The neighbors will call the police
    And here we go, oh, oh, oh
    That life
    That life
    That life
    That life
    You're always gonna be about
    Mm, that life
    Oh, that life
    Yeah, that life
    You're always gonna be about
    Morbid beauty, the skull of the school
    The apple of daddy's eye
    Possibly not so hydrodynamic
    Need some electrolyte
    Boiling tarmac, a hole in the hull
    The cherry chill of dawn
    So far away from the nearest jaguar
    Who's gonna eat them all
    All day swimming, under the palm trees
    Look how they gracefully sway
    Some kinda gin drink, some kinda jewelry
    Some kinda fancy machine
    Why is there always crying and quarreling
    Filtering through the malaise?
    I can hear someone runnin' their mouth and
    The neighbors will call the police
    And here we go, oh, oh, oh
    That life
    That life
    That life
    That life
    You're always gonna be about
    Mm, that life

    Today, I've had a traffic jam on the Highway, the sun was shining nicely despite Fall, I had no hurries, and had been feeling myself caught up in a depression for some years.
    So, I had stopped the car waiting in the jam, switched through the radio channels. When I tuned in the next channel at the exact moment the chorus "That Life" hit.
    It's been quite a while a song had me like that. In an instant. I felt this song matching my mood so perfectly, then again cheering me up so much that I almost started crying. Not crying sadness, but a shade of joy I hadn't felt for at least 365 days.
    I thank you very much for that good, good song, that guitar and voice! I already know it's going to be one of my all-life favorites, always remembering me of that one particular moment waiting in a traffic jam when I felt nothing much but my usual emptiness.

    ............it only took 5 or 6 listens and now I CAN'T get this song out of my head. It's with me constantly, 24/7, probably even when I'm sleeping. What a catchy little bugger. Love it!

  • @AdamThorton
    @AdamThorton 3 роки тому +91

    That was BADASS!!!!! The mix was so resonant and immersive. That particular clinking plunk on the wide guitars is so damn nice and shiny, in a lazy way. And your vocals sound gorgeous. It sounds great when you double-track, especially with the slightly gritty, buzzy texture of your voice during the verses. And then in the chorus, it's so clean and shiny - like... I almost want to use the word "piercing" but that has negative baggage. It feels like an injection of sunshine straight into the ear on every "that life." I hope this means a new album is on the horizon. *REALLY* hope. Edit: I was so excited about the song that I damn near forgot to mention how FUCKING INCREDIBLE the puppeteering is! That level of teamwork is unreal. Our particles might be the only ones that can do better.
