Stuck in my Head: June




The music video doesn't do much for me, but hoo-lee crap, the live version...



It took me about 30 seconds to realize that Samuel T Herring is THE MAN. Watching it live, I GET IT. I mean, I got it before I saw it, but oh my goodness, I absolutely 100% get it. It's been a long time since a song just came out and knocked me right off my seat. Probably not since The National dropped "Bloodbuzz Ohio" has a song hit me this hard. Woof. SO GOOD. The chorus...

"as it breaks... the summer will wake
but the winter washed what's left of the taste...
as it breaks... the summer will warm,
but the winter craved what's lost,
crave what's all gone away..."

Every time I hear it, it just floors me. Wow.
