Song of the Day (The Only Place) 05.10.13

Seriously? The second week in May already? God damn - time just continues truckin' by.

I'll be the first to say that I'm glad this week is over. It's been tough, on multiple levels, for multiple reasons. I just need the weekend to get here to let my mind ease a bit.

Let's not dwell on that though - it's over, we've made it through the week together. Now let's dive into the music.

Song numero uno is very much "west coast." It's some modern surf rock. Yeah, I know my last post kinda tore into LA a bit, but I still live out here and I recognize it as my home. Plus, the music is just so damn good. So roll with it. The song is totally a feel good, bop around (preferably on the beach) tune. Lyrically, no, its not very deep, but it's a love letter to the west coast. As they say, "we've got the ocean, got the babes, got the sun, we've got the waves."  And I'll agree. For now, this is the only place for me. Hope you enjoy Best Coast's "The Only Place."




Song numero dos isn't getting much of an explanation. It just feels right at the moment. Lyrically it's poignant and melodically, it's super catchy. It doesn't need much more than that. This is Good Old War's "Can't Go Home."
