Kevin Devine -Not Over You Yet


Sorry for the delay. So Band of Horses provided a great first song that has a full sound and vibe. The Lodger followed that up with a feel good upbeat melody that makes you want to jig. Now to add to the mix by adding a different element, here is song by Kevin Devine. With a good yet vulnerable voice, Devine comes off as singing from the heart and personal experience.

A simple theme, not over you yet, with simple guitar attached. There is a certain constant immaturity within me that still loves what a little boy would love. I think that a good amount of people can relate. It's that feeling of not wanting to grow up and face the real world, just yet. We're preparing, but we're also dragging out heels to stay a little longer. I think this song captures that innocence. "And I'm still obsessed with cowboys and indians.."

There are probably a million songs with this choice of topic, about being not over a certain individual. But, I love the originality of the lyrics for example:

"You were always cute But gosh darn! you got hot"

Especially the second verse which seems to be brutally honest about himself.

" I know I won't call, It's this decision I've made. So I'm up all night chanting 'Vow I can't break!' [. . .] But I'd still cut my hair if you asked the right way"
