Post #694: The Raveonettes - "Dead Sound" - Lust Lust Lust

Happy Halloween!!

Of course you didn't think I would forgo a Halloween post, did you??  I heard this one on Pandora not too long ago, and it is so reminiscent of the '60s Girl Group sounds that I adore.  Even Wikipedia kind of agrees with me:

"Their music is characterized by close two-part vocal harmonies inspired by The Everly Brothers coupled with hard-edged electric guitar overlaid with liberal doses of noise. Their songs juxtapose the structural and chordal simplicity of 1950s and 1960s rock with intense electric instrumentation, driving beats, and often dark lyrical content (e.g., crime, drugs, murder, suicide, love, lust, and betrayal)..."

I just returned from a little birthday trip down at the Gulf Coast, so I'm hoping to stretch this feeling of relaxation for at least another few days.  It was so empty... hardly a soul for as far as the eye could see... exactly the way I love it...

And I got to enjoy the view below while dining on a birthday meal of crab cakes and key lime pie...

And before I leave you, I recently happened upon a quote that I consider to be so profound yet so true... because there was no one else in the world that I would have rather spent my 40th birthday with than just me...

Until next time...

XOXOXO

I hear the sound of falling love

As I wonder where you are

Hits the ground with a dead sound

Know you ain't got far

You're too stupid and sissy-like

To say that you want out

You make the eyes of a million girls

And think you'll make them shout

Dead sound

Dead sound

I used to take you on every time

That sparkle turned to black

I used to drag you through my streets

When you came crawling back

Your cheap words that you brought on sale

Won't help you through tonight

You make the eyes of a million girls

And think that's what they like

Dead sound

Dead sound

And now you go through a million girls

And try to pick what's right

When nightfall comes and you're still alone

Do you feel it deep inside

It's oh so cold on the other side

Where thoughts can turn you down

You make the eyes of a million girls

But I see no girl around

Dead sound

Dead sound
