Let's Talk About...KICK IT

[Lala]

...because I can't stop listening to it!

I finally bought Street Angel last weekend and I found the first listen sort of unfulfilling, but I stuck it in my car stereo anyway. The other night I was driving to meet some friends and Kick It came on...and the first verse and chorus kind of grabbed my heart and pulled it out of my chest. A pleasant analogy, I know. But you know when you totally miss how good a song is, and then in the right context, it totally makes sense? I was having lunch with my sister the other day and she was talking about the really vague idea of moving away at some point...and I always struggle between really wanting to tell her never to do that, and KNOWING that I love her enough that I want her to be happy, whatever and wherever. Anyway, the song was sort of inspiring to me...bittersweet, but positive.

I'm guessing for Stevie, this was sort of half about relationships that didn't work out and half about drugs. Oddly, this one doesn't strike me as being about Lindsey (this goes against my typical response that EVERYTHING is about Lindsey...go figure).

Tell me more...
