One trick ponies - Kurt Vile


Bij Kurt Vile weet ik niet altijd goed wat ik ervan moet vinden. Soms heb ik het gevoel dat hij iets te gehyped is, andere keren hoor ik dan een nummer van hem dat ik écht wel heel goed vind. En deze single is in ieder geval één uit de tweede categorie, want ik hou wel van het lekker relaxte lo-fisfeertje dat over dit behoorlijk repetitief maar zo aantstekelijk nummer hangt.

Je vindt deze song terug op het album Bottle it in, dat je hier kan kopen.

Lyrics:

Loved you all a long, long while
Looked down into a deep, dark well
Called all your names, they echoed down for miles and miles
And all that other mystical, well, never-you-mind

Loved them all through many a lifetime
Some are gone but some still strong
Some are weird as hell, but we love 'em
Some are one trick ponies but we embrace 'em
Cuz I've always had a soft spot for repetition

Loved you all a long, long while
Looked down into a deep, dark well
Called all your names, they echoed down for miles and miles
And all that other mystical, well, never-you-mind

Loved you all a long, long time
Looked long into the length of a tunnel
Called all you names, and we was trippin out, cuz we needed a way out
And all them other crystalline mystic rationalizations

Loved them all right down to my soul
Looked well into the depth of a hole
Pondered perpetual motion in the echo
Just like the song if the repeats were long

Loved you all a long, long while
Looked down into a deep, dark well
Called all your names, they echoed down for miles and miles
And all that other mystical, well, never-you-mind

Loved you all a long, long while
And I'd give my left nevermind for one big synchronized smile
Some are one trick ponies, but so am I
Round 'em up into a mixed bag bundle of love now

Loved them all a long, long tick
And it's four, five, six
Prevent your schtick
Throw them at the wall into a mixed bag and see if they stick
And give 'em a glass of water
Give 'em a cherry pie

Loved you all a long, long while
Looked down into a deep, dark well
Called all your names
They echoed down for miles and miles
And all that other mystical, well, never-you-mind
