I made an excuse You found another way to tell the truth

Artist- The Morning Benders
Song of the day- Excuses
As I plan out my lolla schedule and what bands I want to see I spotted this band I had reviewed a few years back but then forgot about till I saw this great video on my friend's facebook page several months ago. The Morning Benders could be your average west coast rock band but I think this new album took them to the next level. I have especially always loved Christopher Chu's voice, it reminds me of the Ricky Nelson albums I used to listen to growing up as my mom told me how in love with him she always was. Perhaps its these memories that makes this song feel like a throwback to simpler times, simpler love, simpler summer of fun and friendship and not overworked stress and science books. So here's a little west coast breeze coming your way. Check them out this saturday at Lolla or the Metro if you get a chance.



You tried to taste me
And I taped my tounge the southern tip of your body
Our bones are too heavy to came up
Squished into a single ceel of wood

Oooooooh .... Oooooooooh

And I made an excuse
You found another way to tell the truth
I put no one else above us
We'll stil be best friends when all turn to dust

Oooooooh .... da-da-da-da-da

Dum du-dum du-dum du-dum du-du-dum
(repeat)
da-da-da-da-da
(repeat)

We are so smooth now
Our edges are beaten drift wood widdled down
Old bodies slip when they make love
We'll mine our sparks to shout us above
