Oh No! Oh My! "I Have No Sister"
Let's celebrate MLK day with a drowsy song about uneasy relationships! I'm sure that was in one King's dreams. The song has this sort of speed about it, though it's kind of a depressing song. Sort of like drinking and taking speed at the same time. A beautiful but deadly combination.
Greg Barkley, the singer, sort of sounds like Robert Smith; in the sense that at any moment he's going to cry. What's great is how heavily layered this song is. The band is comprised of four multi-instrumentalists and it shows through their amazing ability to coordinate with each other and compose a song that's so hectic, yet able to carry note progressions that have such heavy weight to them.
Notable Lyrics
The bus driver laughs and he shakes his head
says, "You're okay, I drive this route everyday"
You're uneasy and you say you're scared
and if I die, at least you'll die too
