about

"write something poppy"

lyrics

phoned a friend last night on a whim
he showed up late and didn't even come in
and then I made him wait on my hair

gathered my things and my best pals
donned my scarf and my rationales
I finally took shotgun when I said

I'm sorry man that it took so long
I had to try on eight shirts and hit the pregame strong
but we're ready now and we'll surely pay you well

I like you cuz you drive real fast
you turn the music nice and loud and you waste lots of gas
and you make it feel like I'm floating, floating on air

and now we're flyin' oh so high
to be this moment, to never die
to flow together, stars aligned
city siegers, own the night
flood your senses, now's our time

when an eve's agenda seems quite full
let me stretch some time like a black hole's pull
create our own space in this world

so worry not, sweet suburban friends
when the pace gets frantic just take my hand
and keep your mind, heart and eyes as wide open as you can

we'll walk tall and we'll brave the cold
we'll bring the party to the favors, break the social mold
and maybe lose ourselves for a lovely brief moment or two
oft times in the same routine
we flip our circuit breakers down to keep a clean machine
but let me run some power to ya
so that maybe you can get turned on your own

the night is ours

and now we're flyin' oh so high
to be this moment, to never die
to flow together, stars aligned
city siegers, own the night
flood your senses, now's our time

the night is ours

Turtle Recall Washington, D.C.

DC pop folk rock: fiddle and playful vocal harmonies intertwine atop punk-inspired rhythms to give these Reston, Virginia natives an unpasteurized sonic profile. The group's 2012 debut LP, Thanks Anyway, features story songs steeped in nostalgia, dramatic and unapologetic tempo fluctuations, a hint of musical theatre, and even a foray into the most-likely-completely-misunderstood world of dubstep. ... more
