This band is Walk the Moon meets Passion Pit. I'm sure if artists' ever found my meager blog posts about them, they'd cringe at my "if these two bands made out they'd birth to this band." But in all honesty, it's the best way to give my audience a feel for the artist I'm featuring. Anyway, I love the lighthearted playful tone of their music. They have a positive upbeat that I can introduce to my none indie friends and not scare them off. (I'll save the really hardcore indie for just me and you.)
Lyrics to "Simple Machine" (Alternate Version) by Guster*
Stay steady.
Plastic motion.
Let’s finish beating.
Almost breathing.
I’ll never find my way back.
I’ll never find my way back home.
Empty hollow.
Spit and swallow.
Preachers preaching.
Courage seeding.
I’ll never find my way back.
I’ll never find my way back home.
So just forget about me.
I will get by on myself.
I’m not a simple machine.
I have become something else.
I’ll never find my way back.
I’ll never find my way back home.
Wiser Scarecrow.
This is treason.
Cole eyes, seeing.
Straw heart, beating.
I’ll never find my way back.
I’ll never find my way back home.
So just forget about me.
I will get by on myself.
I’m not a simple machine.
I have become someone else.
I’ll never find my way back.
I’ll never find my way back home.
Ever after I get further.
Who will still be waiting?
Ever after I get further.
I can feel you fading.
