Kool Aid Blue

by The Sylvia Platters

supported by

EclecticMusicLover I love the song’s complex and unpredictable melody, as well as the contrasting gnarly and jangly guitars, which makes for a richer, more dramatic soundscape. And what exceptional guitar work it is, those gorgeous jangly guitar notes sparkling like precious gems, accompanied by grungier notes soaked in glorious reverb. Of course, I have to call out the brilliant rhythm section of resounding bass and aggressive percussion, along with Nick Ubel’s wonderful vocals.

Living in sequence Gets a little uneven Spin in a fixture Alight as a stone Alternative vision A tragic hair decision Read in the leaves That all you need’s a missing page Glimpse the ether A mirror figure It’s just a phase you can’t escape A sinking feeling Amber light; a dimmer view But that sinking feeling Will dissolve in Kool Aid blue Slow motion sickness Wasted in stasis Another draft begins alone With three sheets to the wind You follow it home A sequined ceiling In the dark, a clearer view And that sinking feeling Will dissolve in Kool Aid blue And that sinking feeling Will dissolve in Kool Aid blue Will dissolve in Kool Aid blue Oo oo oo oo oo oo
