This week’s playlist add belongs to D’Angelo. Damn what a huge loss to the music community and the world - my dad burned a hole in this cd when it came out mid nineties which was my introduction; untouchable melodies, harmonies, grooves. D’Angelo is part of our generations musical vocabulary and always will be 🙏💔
This song is one for the misfits; who often found themselves in marching band ha (as we did).
I had part of the chorus to this for a song I wrote in college called bleachers..and then rewrote in 2012 until we finally found its home in Thick as Thieves in 2024...“we‘d run under the bleachers while everyone was cheering and pretend it was for us.” I’d been looking for a home for this, it’s such a poignant but beautiful little photograph in my memory…running under the bleachers during football games, eyes closed, arms out, smiling like a dog who’s car window finally opened.
We were in band, we were weird arty kids, we were the losers—some of us facing difficult situations at home… and for those minutes of resounding applause, we were someone else—those cheers were for us—and we belonged. A beautiful escape.
Jess had really wanted to make a song that was driving but ambient, with a sort of loop effect. She was in Nashville at the time, so we started the track via zoom and she worked out the idea on piano to which Danny translated onto synth. As the whole track came together, the feeling of the instrumental brought that melody back to mind, and it seemed to fit. We quickly finished out the verses and chorus and Jess drafted up the beautiful bridge melody.
The original lyric was “pretend it was for me“, but it feels poetic that after all these years, it’s changed to “us“. You can feel so lonely at that age and then look back and realize you weren’t the only one in the photograph.
