Day 11: Good Lives

What do you get when you cross Chuck Norris with Richard Simmons? Well I assure you it is not the band we're covering today. Recently reunited rock trio Eve 6 is back on tour and gearing up for a comeback album. Their last album's sales were so unimpressive that their label decided to drop them, causing Eve 6 to disband. Known for their witty and vivid lyrics Eve 6's biggest hits are Inside Out, Promise, and the graduation song du jour Here's To The Night. We'll be listening to a song from the album that caused their demise.

Song: Good Lives
Artist: Eve 6
Album: It's All In Your Head (2003)


Good Lives will make you wonder why this album failed. Imaginitive lyrics
"There is no floor 13 there's not even a second story, you've got one to tell and it's sad as hell,"
..."This kid came over and I let him crash, but he went into my wallet and he grabbed my cash,"
..."Set the clocks back we're not growing old,"
..."Promise that forever we will never get better at growing up and learning to lie",
tasty guitar licks, and salty vocalization by Max Collins combine to make a savory dish. A side of driving bass and drums complete the meal. Allow your ears to feast as this trio serves up a well rounded fare.
