To quote Drake yet again, sounds like someone’s “overdosed on confidence.” If fooling around with the Drizzy app has you feeling ready for some live music, check out Scott Weiland playing in New York City tonight, March 10. He said (or should we say rapped?): “Nothin' really comes as a surprise right now / cause we just havin' the time of our lives right now." And as expected, he provided the perfect response…via a Drake lyric. We reached out to Drizzy co-founder Regy Perlera to ask how he’s reacting to all this success. It’s already been downloaded more than 210,000 times and is a top-trending search at the App Store.
On that note, the Drizzy app also seems to be winning. Lil Wayne” tour last year, the two rappers released an app by the same name that let fans vote for who they wanted to “win” each concert. One thing's for certain, this isn’t his first app. However, the rapper himself hasn’t yet commented on whether he's tried out Drizzy. It is a song about bright spots in a gloomy world, whether the gloom surrounds a northern rust belt town or a mind clouded by depression.In the spirit of experimentation, a Yahoo Music staffer used the app Tuesday to send a lyrical message to mom: "Runnin’ through the six with my woes!” Mom's response? “What? R U jogging?”ĭrake's own mother would recognize the lyrics, we're sure. I've gone far afield from the main point I wanted to make, which is that Nick's family's prosperity does not make the song ironic or hypocritical. It's like he's trying to reassure himself, trying to make it through depression to the light he knows is at the end of the tunnel. I'm new to Drake and have only listened to a few of his songs, but titles like Pink Moon and Bryter Layter suggest that though things may look bleak now, they will get brighter and better. If so, that would fit well with Nick Drake's songs. Or it could be a metaphor about how small moments can light up people's lives. Nick had is own small following - and it was small enough that he would often play out in the open of his small Northern England town of Tanworth-in-Arden. The song could be based on an actual visit Drake made to a northern England town. Other artists directly influenced and affected by Drakes work include, The Cure (their very name comes from a Drake song), Duncan Sheik, Howard Jones, and American Music Club. They accompany him to the train station, even in the rain, and are sorry to see him go. The feelings he conveys temporarily lift the town's mood. The visitor talks of the days of Kennedy and the Beatles-days of hope and excitement. This is a bleak little town, where a Salvation Army band is the main attraction and the jobs are mostly gone. He then goes out to reminisce with townspeople about the 60s. This visitor, who has a fabulous voice like the early Sinatra, is heard singing from a window, presumably in the house he is visiting. Please note that the character in the song (presumably meant to represent Nick Drake) does not LIVE IN the northern industrial town-he arrives and leaves by train. It's like I can hear the ghosts from that parade as I left that town, asking " Where you going now? Away from this little town, huh? Well, take it easy on yourself.
Just a faded memory in my head, but this song brings it back. The seniors that had made the parade what it was were almost all dead an no one was filling in the gaps. I went to the parade one last time when I was a senior in high school, and it had practically dwindled to nothing.
I was pushing the town away, and moving on. The world changed throughout the 80s and 90s as I was growing up. The parade would end at the cemetery with a 21 gun salute at the tomb of unknown soldier. The children drunk lemonade and waited on the sidewalks for candy to be tossed from the floats. This was a time when the WWII veterans would talk about the war, about friends they had lost, and about how the town had changed throughout their lives. The whole town would be there and you dare not miss it. When I was child in the mid 70s and early 80s, the Memorial Day parade was a big town event. I'm from a small town in northwest Ohio, and this song specifically reminds me of the annual Memorial Day parade. That's two people from Ohio that struck a chord with this song before I even found this site.
Hey ma ma ma hey-yah (so hard to desert, so hard that you know)Īh hey ma ma, ma-me doo-de din-day-ya (so hard to desert) Ah hey ma ma, ma-me doo-de din-day-ya (society's so)
