Pounding drums, clanging cymbals, swirling synths and jangly guitars are met with languid vocals that, whereas laid again nonetheless handle to convey among the cleverest lyrics I’ve heard in a very long time.
“You by no means thought you’ll write poetry
Until in the future you bought referred to as right down to jury responsibility
And also you made eyes with a stenographer
named Tracy
On the Cuyahoga County Court docket of Frequent
Pleas
She had butterfly clips in her hair
Butterfly tattoo proper behind her left ear
And butterfly nails that tickled the keys
On the Cuyahoga County Court docket of Frequent
Pleas”
Completely marvellous!
There’s an amazing trumpet part in the midst of the observe (carried out by Lilly Aycud) that’s simply beautiful, and provides completely to this track about falling in love with the butterfly-emblazoned stenographer, and what she represents. Tracy’s butterflies symbolise freedom, or no less than, desirous to be free; you understand she’s not going to remain a courtroom stenographer without end, she’s acquired her thoughts on greater issues. Whether or not or not that features the track’s protagonist stays to be seen – in all probability not, she seemingly doesn’t know he exists. Nonetheless, she’s inspiring each him (and the listener) to decide on a unique path, to goal excessive, and that may’t be a foul factor, can it?
