Song of the Day: Spiritualized – “The Mainline Song”
Released: 2022
Album: Everything Was Beautiful
There’s a small handful of artists who I know will never disappoint me. Along with Low, Radiohead, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, and a few others, Spiritualized has been mindbogglingly consistent over the past few decades. If the singles from upcoming LP Everything Was Beautiful are any indication, Jason Pierce still has a lot left in the tank. “Always Together With You” is a romantic epiphany that channels the same otherworldly sensation. as the legendary “Ladies & Gentlemen We’re Floating In Space.” “Crazy” is a sweet spacey country ballad. The most recent single, “The Mainline Song,” shows that Pierce can still write an exhilarating rock song to balance out all of the melancholy ballads.
Lyrics
Hush, keep your voices down
Everyone is asleep uptown
And I wanted to know if you wanted to go to the city tonight
Sweet heart, sweet light
Oh babe, it’s a beautiful night
And I wanted to know if you wanted to go to the city tonight
Hush, keep your voices down
Everyone is asleep uptown
And I wanted to know if you wanted to go to the city tonight
Sweet heart, sweet light
Oh babe, it’s a beautiful night
And I wanted to know if you wanted to go to the city tonight
Hush, keep your voices clear
There’s a change in the air ’round here
And I wanted to know if you wanted to go take the city tonight
Sweet heart, sweet light
Oh babe, it’s a beautiful night
And I wanted to know if you wanted to go tell thе city tonight
Hush, keep your voices clear
Therе’s a change in the air ’round here
And I wanted to know if you wanted to go take the city tonight
Sweet heart, sweet light
Oh babe, it’s a beautiful night
And I wanted to know if you wanted to go tell the city tonight
Hush
I caught you once
And I’ll court you again
I only wanted to be your friend
And I wanted to know if you wanted to go to the city again
