Let’s Make Some Plans

Close Lobsters

Another Scottish band I fell for after hearing I Kiss the Flower in Bloom — either on 120 Minutes or Live 105’s Modern Music Hour. I went out and bought FOXHEADS STALK THIS LAND on CD in San Francisco and have been a fan ever since.

Their most recent 2020 release was a huge surprise — they still sound fresh and inspired 30 years later. So thrilling when a great band circles back to make music again after decades away. Such a gift — especially when I think of all the artists who’ve passed away too young and won’t have that opportunity.

This early single jumped out at me today — a favorite of mine. I just love the idea of hatching a plan to make something good happen.

Twelve million good reasons against
The mountain, the light bulb, and the lake

Love those jangly guitars and that melody. And the original video was beautiful to see again.

Let's make some plans 'cause they can't go wrong
Getting there may be times three maybe not
To loosen your lips 'cause you're talking rubbish
To loosen your whole mistaken tenfold
Oh, wow, wow, wow
Twelve million good reasons against
The mountain, the light bulb, and the lake
To loosen your lips 'cause you're talking rubbish
To loosen your neck 'cause you're talking rubbish
Oh, wow, wow, wow
Ohhh, let's make some plans, let's makes some plans
Let's make some plans, let's make some plans
Oh, wow, wow, wow
Let's make some plans, let's makes some plans
Let's make some plans, let's make some plans
Oh wow, wow, wow
Let's make some plans, let's makes some plans
Let's make some plans, let's make some plans
Oh wow, wow, wow
