Greetings from Laurel Canyon!
It’s always around me, all this noise, but / Not nearly as loud as the voice saying / “Let it happen, let it happen” / (It’s gonna feel so good) / “Just let it happen, let it happen”
All this running around / Tryin’ to cover my shadow / A notion growing inside / Now all the others seem shallow
All this running around / Bearing down on my shoulders / I can hear an alarm / It must be morning
I heard about a whirlwind that’s coming ’round / It’s gonna carry off all that isn’t bound, and / When it happens, when it happens / (I won’t be holding on) / So let it happen, let it happen
I was looking forward to today. Friday the 13th is a juicy target for any rock ‘n’ roll song release—certainly an Idelic Hour playlist of songs.
Sadly, this Friday the 13th has a bitter and distracting taste. I’m going to side-step my political opinions and just say music has always been my backdrop. It’s gotten me through happy, sad, wins, losses, and stressful times.
This week I lacked the inspiration to cut a new episode. Instead I pulled an old Idelic Hour from a Friday the 13th eight and half years ago. I can’t say I’ve changed much since 2015, but nothing really does stay the same.
So, if you’re curious about about the music blaring from a warm canyon garage back then, it’s pretty fucking cool and I hope a brief distraction from this week’s madness.
Sunnier dayz with Tame Impala.
