Dorothy - Kevin Morby
from the album Singing Saw (2016)
Later today, I will be catching my nephew as he graduates college, leaves the dorms, and gets his first apartment. Kind of makes you want to crank some rock ' roll.
Moments like these demand fuzzed-out, clanky, electric guitar. Overdriven bass helps. So does a busy drum beat and some jangling country piano. Add a bit of feedback, occasional trumpet, and an awesome groove. Now you're talking.
The song needs to be about a girl. It needs to be about their journey together. It needs to be a love letter without the mushy crap.
Dorothy by Kevin Morby is all these things and more. It is a reminiscent look back at a couple's rambling ride through life. Dig the lyrics:
And I would pretend you were new
Like I was just introduced to you
And all the music in my ears
Sounds beautiful down here
And I could hear that drummer roll
As I listened to that choir cry
And I could hear the guitar weeping
I could feel those pipers pipe
And all the beauty I couldn't see
Well it just cut me at my knees
Life is a raw, beautiful thing. Fill it with passion and love. Never be too hard on people, get a good set of speakers, and steer clear of the bad stuff (that always comes at you in slow motion).
