DaddyBird ‘Resistance’ is a sublime track that sweeps you along with its mood. It reminds me of hearing The Smiths ‘The Queen Is Dead’ album for the first time, but with- dare I say it- better vocals. The other tracks have delightful variety, and no less magic. Favorite track: Resistance.

I know you, and I are gonna have a rad time Full of bad taste, of neat humor We'll kick the rat race, enjoy the rumors Blood and guts on the walls, my friend No time to pretend Don't hit the breaks, instead, hug your best friend (Someone) I used to know All there's left is you You remind me of someone I used to know I'm a glutton for typeface boys and girls with the right place noise I've done been around this block sometime So rest assured, I've got that gripe And I know how to use it And I'm sure fire to lose it Invite me to all your tight club fights, in the day or at night alright (Someone) I used to know All there's left is you You remind me of someone I used to know Ah... (Someone) I used to know All there's left is you You remind me of someone I used to know (Someone) I used to know All there's left is you You remind me of someone I used to know All there's left is you I've heard the gunshots right below my window panes I've always spit out: one day I'll make it rain I've heard the gunshots right below my window panes I've always spit out: one day I'll make it rain I've heard the gunshots right below my window panes I've always spit out: one day I'll make it rain I've heard the gunshots right below my window panes I've always spit out: one day I'll make it rain

Resistance 03:49
Hey you, I got the heart right here In my daze/days, never felt so near Pick me up, swing me off my feet Twirl around, love is all I breathe Everybody's just around the corner now Everything I need is just a short walk down the street Sight got back, I feel different, a flicker in the distance More like you, more like him, more home- sans resistance Sight got back, I feel different, a flicker in the distance More like you, more like him, more home- sans resistance Hey you, I got the heart right here In this daze, never felt so clear Pick me up, swing me off my feet Twirl around, love is all we breathe Everybody's just around the corner now Everything I need is just a short walk down the street Sight got back, I feel different, a flicker in the distance More like you, more like him, more home- sans resistance Sight got back, I feel different, a flicker in the distance More like you, more like him, more home- sans resistance, Ooh Everybody's just around the corner now Everything I need is just a short walk down the street Sight got back, I feel different, a flicker in the distance Sight got back, I feel different, a flicker in the distance More like you, more like him, more home- sans resistance Sight got back, I feel different, a flicker in the distance More like you, more like him, more home- sans resistance, Ooh

Stretch 03:25
Skating around, waiting around for the bus, the train Any old way to get to downtown Santa Monica, or Venice, to jump in the waves Hitching a ride from a family tie, or a random guy I don’t even know how or why we ever made it out of there alive So many strange rides, and late late nights Underage thinking, growing pains-dreaming About who we would be in 10 or 20 Where would we live, how would we be making money 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 Ain’t no way the best year got behind me Ain’t no way the last year gonna find me 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 Ain’t no way the best year got behind me Ain’t no way the last year gonna find me From West L.A. to Culver City, back to West LA West Hollywood, South Gate, Carson, Silverlake, North Hollywood and Burbank Paris, Highland Park, Los Feliz, Koreatown Glendale, Paris, San Francisco, Paris again, Brooklyn, now Queens Drugs, waking up, baking along Under the sun, the shade Changing your name, take up a new language Learn to read and write all over again 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 Ain’t no way the best year got behind me Ain’t no way the last year gonna find me You’re gonna bend, you’ll fold, you’ll stretch 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 Ain’t no way the best year got behind me Ain’t no way the last year gonna find me 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 Ain’t no way the best year got behind me Ain’t no way the last year gonna find me You’re gonna bend, you’ll fold, you’ll stretch
