Song of the month: January 2015

Nothing has popped out this month as a song I’m crazy about (except for Jan’s song*) so I’m going to play catch up.

This song will always remind me of two things:  my 40th birthday and the resignation of Oregon’s governor.  This was the song I wanted to sing at my big karaoke blowout, but Voicebox didn’t have it. I discovered this after I’d been practicing for a week, so that was a bummer.

This is a very loud song, and I love it for that.  The back-beat that plays through most of it has a rhythm that is kind of claustrophobic, in a depressed sort of way.  They lyrics are good too.

*But she already wrote a blog post.  I’m totally going to buy that song though… And I just did.
