What's your favorite opening line from any song?

I just heard this song for the first time today and it feels like it could have been written last week, even though the video was from 14 years ago.

"Thou shall not steal if there is a direct victim" is a damn strong opening line

Childish Gambino

Given everything going on, and how overwhelming it feels... I'm brought back to the morning I woke up and saw a new Gambino track had dropped.

I remember laying in bed watching the video over and over, blown away by how well it held a mirror up to the ingrained hate in our society.

I strongly recommend you go find the video for this song. It is insane and makes the song so much more enjoyable

I stumbled on the video years ago and I love showing it to people. It is so surreal and most reactions are "wtf did I just watch?!"

Guster

When it comes to covers, the baseline "better than the original" is Hurt so that is logically off the table.

Nothing but Flowers is an interesting one for me - I had heard the Guster version first before going on a deep dive into the Talking Heads. And while I appreciate everything The Talking Heads do, I feel like there is just more life in the Guster version.

Ginger Root
Open in Apple Music ↗ Listen elsewhere ↗

I was looking for some new music on Bandcamp today, and came across a few city pop artists that I hadn't heard before. Which then immediately brought to mind Ginger Root and all the amazing work that has been released by this man.

Everything he does feels like it is all in the same "world"... there is something about it that just sets it apart from most others in the genre for me.

If you haven't seen any of his videos yet, I strongly suggest you check them out. They are small scale movies
