Greetings from Laurel Canyon!
Fake tales of San Francisco / Echo through the air / And there’s a few bored faces at the back, all / Wishing they weren’t there / And as the microphone squeaks / A young girl’s telephone beeps / Yeah, she’s dashing for the exit / Oh, she’s running to the streets outside / “Oh, you’ve saved me”, she screams down the line / “The band were fucking wank and I’m not having a nice time”
I’ve always loved a Brit singing about a destination he/she’s never been to. That crop of turn of the millennium UK dreamers (Alex Turner, Gomez, Badly Drawn Boy, Turin Brakes, Malcolm Middleton etc.) are an easy go-to on a cold, rainy afternoon.
This week will be remembered for an unmistakably “British” rain. Dark, moody, with a chill that you can feel through the floorboards.
Here’s some Brits with some “soggy songs.”
XO enjoy.
Idelic Single of the Week: Jules Duke – Coming up Short
My prayers for rain, answered.
