Weekend Song – OK Go
October 13, 2007
This is full of dreams and hope, and we could all use a little of that.
I would have picked this tune for the drum fill before lift to the chorus alone, but it gets better. It’s got a great hammond organ, jangly guitars, and a lovely melody with harmonies singing out – let’s face it – all our dreams at one time or another.
I could say more, but I’d just be holding you up.
We’ll drive, one thousand miles an hour.
We’ll fly by wheat fields and water towers.
We’ll go. We’ll go and we’ll go and we’ll go. Let’s go.
Listen: 1,000 Miles An Hour

THese guys got something going, I think.
That’s nice. Are they the same band who did the treadmill thing? If so I wonder why they did that.
Thanks Ed. Emom – sorry for not getting back to you sooner. Yes, same guys they are also very funny and versative. Actually, you’d really like this one by them, because it’s sad, melodic and heavy.
Thank you Cliff, I love it, “you were supposed to grow old”, that line will get me every time.
How come I am suddenly cast into moderation? Is it anything to do with cheese in soup?
Hey – That song really gets me too – I find it quite hard to listen to. Certain lines especially. Obviously not just me then. Or you, for that matter.
Also – no it sometimes does that with moderation. If you sign on from one PC (work) and leave a comment then sign on from another later (at home) with your same login details, my ‘puter thinks you is doing me a spam.
A lot of junk mail happens when someone breaches a boundary and then shares login details with everyone and their mum (not literally!), so that’s a precaution. You won’t be help in moderation once approve, but if you switch computers you’ll get help again until I approve it. But I get an email, so it’s not a big deal to do and it takes 2 seconds. Sorry for the inconvenience, but if it didn’t work that way, there would be literally hundreds of junk comments on here every day.
Leave a comment. Play nice. I will turn this blog around.
