yo beatles i gave that song a listen. and then i have it another listen. and then another. and goddamn i love that song now. those little ooo’s and the wooo’s just make me feel so happy, while the actual lyrics are a little more fierce in nature. it practically screams california tbh.
gonna switch up the mood a little with the glorious sons - gordie. the song is a lot more sad now that gord downie has passed; some of the live performances are pretty damn emotional. the song was written about legendary singer (well, legendary to canadians, at least) gord downie, who took the lead of the groundbreaking band, the tragically hip.
essentially, brett emmons, the sons’ lead singer, goes on about how he, a sufferer from depression, anxiety, a current medical condition, and substance abuse, aspires to be like gord downie. gord downie always looked at life from the brighter side, and even when he had cancer, there was always a smile on his face. and while the song isnt necessarily sad, it was written when they knew gord downie had a terminal cancer, so this song can be seen as a plea - a plea to whatever higher power there is, to spare gordie’s life. unfortunately, that didn’t happen. and now, the song that was once a tribute to a great man who still lived, became a song paying tribute to a man who still technically lives, but in hearts and people’s thoughts.
ngl i teared up over this song quite a few times. i miss gord.
