    Absolutely brilliant song. "He brought me an ice pack for my bruises But the ice pack proved to be quite useless Because I didn't have bumps, I had cuts And he shouldn't try to numb it, I need a bandage " is my favorite part. Meaningful.

    It’s insane what you can do with just a drum kit and a piano if you know what you’re doing. They clearly understand how to make it work.

      @@ezandman6804 I am also impressed with their musical talent and being able to apply it to like two instruments at times and sound like they are a 5 piece roaring band . I think its in part the intensity of the individuals involved here . Also its the raw talent they possess and oh my freaking bazzinga at such a young age . This is natural born talent developed over many lifetimes and a blessing to us all . I just wish they would express more upbeat emotion . Yeah , I get it , life is hard and causes us upset and pain but , lets be a little more forgiving and get on with it shall we . They are still so young so , lets see what time and maturity brings . They will likely be around for years . It will be interesting to see their evolution bring about new and different songs with a more settled down theme . One thing though , they have to keep that hard driving sound around . I feel sure they will . Love ,peace and light to skating polly and all .

    Alright I'm loving this band, they have a really cool sound and it's refreshing. This is a pretty cool song, but I have to say that my inner cinephile is gushing over the German Expressionism style of this music video! Anyone else notice? Because this is just so freaking cool!!!

    I never knew that we were those people
    The kind who people think of as the bad seeds
    Yeah, the kind that make you feel like you're so lucky
    The kind that guilt you out of your fun greed
    Oh, please forget me for my sins
    My charming orneriness has got me once again
    My father sent me out, he told me what to do
    But instead of listening, I stuck prickle needles in his shoes
    He tried to run, he tried to follow
    But just at the sight of the blood he couldn't run much farther
    And I felt bad just for a second
    But mainly I was laughing because I had just ran away
    I had just ran away from everything good in my life that was happening
    She never knew, and I didn't try to stop it
    She never knew, call me crazy, again for the seventh time
    She never knew, yeah, this is that deep dark tale
    She never knew, well, it goes how it goes and it never sees the trail
    He brought me an ice pack for my bruises
    But the ice pack proved to be quite useless
    Because I didn't have bumps, I had cuts
    And he shouldn't try to numb it, I need a bandage
    Oh, please forget me for my sins
    My charming orneriness has got me once again
    My father sent me out, he told me what to do
    But instead of listening, I filled up his cup to the top with glue
    He tried to drink, he tried to swallow
    But due to the lack of the air his face was turning dark blue
    And I felt bad just for a second
    But mainly I was laughing because I just had brought the day
    I had just brought the day of everything weird in my life that was mattering
    She never knew, well it's true I could have saved him
    She never knew, I just sat there stone-faced for the longest time
    She never knew, yeah, this is that common tale
    She never knew, what I did was my job so it's not considered betrayal
    He took my calls
    He called me vicious
    Told me that my arms and opinions
    Were ash and fruitless
    Well, if I'm wrong
    Go tell your God
    That I'm an illness
    A raving sickness
    The way we blame
    It's not the same
    The way I came
    Always a game

      My fav skating polly songs are Camelot and A little late . Especially the video that goes with Camelot . It was super awesome that Arrow and Henry from Starcrawler got in on the fun . They really added super yum icing to the cake in that vid . Check it out you wont be sorry hahaha. Nice to see that skating polly and starcrawler are such good friends . They shoul totally do a tour together . That would be incredilbly wonderful to express a Kellyism : * )

    • @hazelblack7323
      @hazelblack7323 Před rokem +1

      yes, it's definitely got some regina spektor vibes, though i think it was more consciously an homage to fiona apple. the band have been very inspired by regina though since their first record, and you can hear it a lot in kelli's vocals on a lot of songs on lost wonderfuls as well as her (especially early on) story-based approach to songwriting, but I think this is the one where they most emulate her instrumental structure as well.
