A fun, summer song with elements from Smash Mouth, another NFC influence.
lyrics
Take It Down
Verse 1
The times are changing faster than I’d like to allow
It’s getting hard just to keep my feet on solid ground
Every time, every night I try to say that I’m still alright
But that’s just a lie
Everything is going wrong, I’m past it now and I’m doin’ fine
And that’s better than alright
Chorus
So take it down, take it down
Why you gotta push me around (Take it down, take it down baby)
So tonight, we’re gonna party just to prove we’re alive (Take it down tonight)
Verse 2
Tell me something that I didn’t know
Come on play with my mind
Let’s make a memory
Paint a picture that will stay for all time
Every time, every night I try to say that I’m still alright
But that’s just a lie
Everything is going wrong, I’m past it now and I’m doin’ fine
And that’s better than alright
Chorus
So take it down, take it down
Why you gotta push me around (Take it down, take it down baby)
So tonight, we’re gonna party just to prove we’re alive (Take it down tonight)
Bridge
I’m starin’ at the floor
Don’t think I can drink no more
Friend’s passed out on the floor
Alright I’ll have one more
They pass it to the left, and never to the right
We’re gonna party all night
Guitar Solo
Chorus (Vox only)
So take it down, take it down
Why you gotta push me around (Take it down, take it down baby)
So tonight, we’re gonna party just to prove we’re alive (Take it down tonight)
Chorus (Full band)
So take it down, take it down
Why you gotta push me around (Take it down, take it down baby)
So tonight, we’re gonna party just to prove we’re alive (Take it down tonight)
So take it down, take it down
Why you gotta push me around (Take it down, take it down baby)
So tonight, we’re gonna party just to prove we’re alive (Take it down tonight)
(Crowd clapping and cheering)
I’m Naked

With its gradually-unspooling grooves and danceable beats, the debut effort from Swedish psych band Hollow Ship entices with every listen. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 8, 2020
Juxtaposing poetic balladry with roaring feedback and warped piano lines, the Vermonter's music is as stunning as it is unsettling. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 21, 2024
