It’s been a while since I’ve headed into a record store and the one day I do – turned out to be the launch of the latest Alkaline Trio album. I really dig the way these guys they can package sweetness into a song that seems revel in the dark.
Like a song about realizing who you really love:
“you hit me just like heroin/ i feel you coursing through my veins/ i once tried to kick this addiction / i swear ill never kick again / won’t ever kick again, no”
&
“well those others were like methadone / i took to get me through the day / now i’m trying to find my way back home / staying clean along the way /hold out for the real thing, yeah“
Silly? Perhaps but I still believe it more than any other pop tune I’ve heard it a while.
