I Took a Walk... and found this great band!


So this week I forced myself to join Spotify and explore what the application had to offer. I discovered some really great songs and playlists from my friends and I have to say that one of my favorite songs now is Take a Walk by Passion Pit. The rhythm of the song puts me in a happy mood so to speak and it’s the style of music I enjoy listening to. If you aren’t familiar with the group Passion Pit, then let me take a minute to tell you about them. Passion Pit is an American electropop band, formed in 2007, from Massachusetts. The band consists of Michael Angelakos (lead vocals, keyboards), Ian Hultquist (keyboards, guitar), Xander Singh (synthesizer, samples), Jeff Apruzzese (bass, synth bass), and Nate Donmoyer (drums). Never have I ever seen such interesting names, yet the music they produce is defiantly worth listening to. Michael’s voice is amazing and the flair they give off is astonishing. Take a Walk is a song with a great beat and interesting yet decent lyrics. I really enjoy this song as well as the band and I can’t wait to do more digging and discover other songs they’ve produced that catch my attention.

All these kinds of places
Make it seem like it's been ages
Tomorrow's sun with buildings scrape the sky
I love this country dearly
I can feel the lighter clearly
But never thought I'd be alone to try

Once I was outside Penn Station
Selling red and white carnations
We were still alone,
My wife and I
Before we marry, save my money
Brought my dear wife over
Now I want to bring my family state side

But off the boat they stayed a while
Then scattered cross the course
Once a year I'll see them for a week or so at most
I took a walk

Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
Take a walk, oh-oh-oh
I took a walk
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
Take a walk, oh-oh-oh
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk

Practice isn't perfect
But the market cuts a loss
I remind myself that times could be much worse
My wife won't ask me questions
It was not so much to ask
And she'll never flaunt around an empty purse
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/p/passion_pit/take_a_walk.html ]

Once my money lacking
Just to stay a couple nights
In the silence she will stay the rest of her life
I watch my little children, play some board game in the kitchen
And I sit and pray they never feel my strife

But then my partner called to say the pension funds were gone
We made some bad investments
Now accounts are overdrawn

I took a walk
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
Take a walk, oh-oh-oh
I took a walk
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
Take a walk, oh-oh-oh

Honey it's your son I think I borrowed just too much
We had taxes we had bills
We had a lifestyle of fun
And tonight I swear I'll come home
And we'll make love like we're young
And tomorrow you'll cook dinner
For the neighbors and their kids
We could rip apart those socialists
And all their damn taxes
You'll see I am no criminal
I'm down on both bad knees
I'm just too much a coward
To admit when I'm in need

I took a walk
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
Take a walk, oh-oh-oh
Take a walk, oh-oh-oh
I took a walk
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
I took a walk
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
I took a walk
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
