The Rebel Black Dot Song o' the Day: SKApril!


Suburban Legends, "Bright Spring Morning" from Rump Shaker (The Last Angry Rude Boy)

Skammentary: On this bright spring morning in pure Michigan, a freezing rain has been falling for the last day, making the ground a treacherous sheet of ice. But "Bright Spring Morning" isn't about the weather, it's about running away from home, a typically juvenile way to avoid rather than deal with one's problems. Suburban Legends are fun, but more pop sensible than most other ska bands, leading to a paucity of significance in their catalog. But, as I wrote, fun!
"The sun is shining bright outside,
Think I'll go for a ride,
I plan not to ever return,
Let's us away from here for good,
For get this dusty neighborhood,
The open road is begging & calling for us!

"Go, roll down that window,
Go, crank up that radio,
Let's drive until we hit the sky!
It's not about where we go,
Let's start living life before we die,
Before we die…"
