No Known Drink or Drug

Thursday momentum — this track’s an infectious burner that never gets old. A cinematic story where a trite feeling bar encounter becomes an anthem to romantic love and devotion. The kind of relationship everyone wants.

Red ammo, romance in the summer heat
In parks, on patios and in the streets
Our mission, makin’ moments into memories
And when winters off the leash and on the loose
We ward off the weather with a witch’s brew
Of dominoes and prose and delta blues.

And those drums at 1:35 and that singalong chorus (complete with sha-na-na’s) taking us out? It feels like rare, glorious stadium rock. One of the greatest rock ‘n roll songs I’ve ever heard.

No known drink, no known drug
Could ever hold a candle to your love
