Welcome to The Underground
"I am proud that night after night and album after album, a mass of humanity I now refer to lovingly as the pop underground, come together and sing. Whether it's in theaters and concert venues around the world, in the privacy of our own homes or the constantly shifting landscape of social media, we are a scrappy tribe and we stand for something: Music that is found, shared and cared for despite access to traditional outlets; music that lives virally and through word of mouth; music that tells a story that people want to retell." - Andrew McMahon

LYRICS
The sun ran out on a cold October
Somewhere under the canyon moon
Camera jammed in a slow exposure
California in her rear view

She couldn’t handle another season
Another ocean of fiction blue
Said a prayer to a dashboard Jesus,
Death Valley and worn out shoes

Then the road turned into desert everywhere
The sun ran out on a cold October
She disappeared, she disappeared

Take all your troubles, put them to bed
Burn down the mission, the maps in your head
Shot like a bullet, don’t know the way
The ricochet, kind of got away from you

The leaves are falling, the church bells ringing
Marching band in a high school dream
Little town and a faded beauty
They still remember when she was queen

Then the road turned into desert everywhere
The leaves are falling, the church bells ringing
She disappeared, she disappeared

I can't get over the "the road turned into desert" just the way the desert line feels. And got away from … you….

LOVE IT. At first I was like, hmm, interesting, different sound. But. Argh.

I can see the music video in this. And now I'm just like why is it late and why can't I find people to film this and make it a reality. It's just so raw and I love it.

This, even more than Cecilia and High Dive, SCREAMS Top 20. If Maroon 5 released this, it would be #1 in two seconds.

LET THIS BE A HIT. PLEASE GOD LET THIS BE A HIT.

I bought it and put it on my phone this morning and listened to it about 8 times on my way to work this morning. Mind blown.
