Drive Me To The Center by The Seedy Seeds

Genre: electronic, folk pop

Download: [LINK!]

Comment: Today’s contributor has a bias for anything folk the indie scene churns out and so, an electronica-folk-pop piece would certainly be post-worthy for said contributor. It has been almost four years since this song was released but it feels like it hasn’t aged. Said contributor also has a weakness for harmony, second voices and an excess in instruments in songs so said contributor’s ears flap with giddiness every time said ears catch the sound of this song. You see, they used the French horn, the trumpet and the trombone. Be still, today’s contributor’s ears. Enjoy!

Lyrics:

drive me to the center 
where the engines move the city 
and the buildings duck and swell 
like a splendid carousel 
carry all to destinate 
and clean the tracks of dividends 

oh, the fluid, blurring landscape 
from the backseat window darling 
does the pavement bend the trees? 
as we hurry our machines 
with every pinch the center spreads 
into our limbs into our heads 

i have in my eyes 
if we step to the side 
we can be let go 
you think i’ll unwind 
you think so you know 

i can’t seem to shake off the times 
every place is sought with straight lines 
oh well oh well 

and timelines go forever 
but memories drown with summer 
there are some that do hold on 
and they build them into homes 
and it splits their selves in two 
half of me i’m half of you
