"MOUNTAIN SOUND," OF MONSTERS and MEN

Another favorite of mine, "Mountain Sound" by Of Monsters and Men.


"REVERSE" SOMEKINDAWONDERFUL

This is a hell of a song.  Check out these lyrics!  The song, whose melody I just love, is called "Reverse" by a SomeKindaWonderful.  According to Wikipedia, SomeKindaWonderful is "a four-piece band from Cleveland, Ohio featuring Jordy Towers (vocals/lyrics), as well as Matt Gibson (guitar), Ben Schigel (drums), Sarah Dyer (back-up vocals/percussion) the genre-bending group came together after Towers became another casualty of the major label system. Once signed to Interscope as a solo act, the label eventually left him hanging on the vine. Towers knew it was time for a reset and headed to Ohio to re-examine his life [1]. During a fateful trip to visit family in the suburban Cleveland town of Olmstead Falls (pop 9,000), it was there in January 2013 that Gibson & Schigel & Towers met at a bar [2] Their lead single "Reverse" was written the night they met and the full album was completed the very same week. Shortly there-after they signed a record deal with [Records] and Capital/Vertigo.  The Single "Reverse" is currently #27 on the Alternative Charts[3

SomeKindaWonderful "Reverse" lyrics
She hung the phone and I said "Fuck you it's over"
Sorry but this is the end
I said "Don't trip it was just a harmless sleepover"
See, we're just was making friends
She said "then what were you doing there in 4 in the morning?"
You told me you were at home
I started with "darling please listen"
And then I picked up my phone, yeah

I told my story in REVERSE 'cause it hurts
Girl it hurts too much to bare
But I'm tantalized by their legs & long hair
But if I could do it again
I would do it again!
If I could do it again
I would do it again!
If I could do it again
Probably do it again!
Could I get a DO-OVER?!
Babyy, ooh oh
Hey, ooh oh

I plugged my phone in as I backed out the driveway,
Then I started my car
Slipped out the door after I crept through her hallway
She left it slightly ajar, yeah
Threw on my kicks my socks my jeans and my t-shirt
Then threw my HAT on my head
I did it quiet so that I wouldn't wake her
Woke up in another girl's bed, yooo

I tell my story in REVERSE 'cause it hurts
Girl it hurts too much to bare
But I'm tantalized by their legs & long hair
But if I could do it again
I would do it again!
If I could do it again
I would do it again!
If I could do it again
Probably do it again!
Could I get a DO-OVER?
Babyy, ooh oh
Hey, ooh oh

I told my story in REVERSE 'cause it hurts
Girl it hurts too much to bare
But I'm tantalized by their legs & long hair
But if I could do it again
I would do it again
If I could do it again
I would do it again
If I could do it again
Probably do it again
Could I get a DO-OVER? OVER!
Yeaa, oooh

I told my story in REVERSE cause it hurts
Girl it hurts too much to bare
But I'm tantalized by their legs and long hair
But if I could do it again
I would do it again
If I could do it again
I would do it again
If I could do it again
Probably do it again
Could I get a do over?
