From ANDRAS JONES: STEVE SMITH  (of Dirty Vegas, Squeeze, The English Beat) joined us as the musical guest on a dark day in American history. While we engaged the Pop Oracle at The Record Co. in Boston, Massachusetts, several hundred miles to the south Dr. Christine Blasey Ford and Brett Kavanaugh testified before congress. This terrible spectacle informed my question and one more, later in the show. We may still be too close to the trauma of this day to want to spend 8 musical divinations micro focusing on it, and I get that. I also trust this format to such a degree that I can absolutely promise you this is a document of that day and, when we have a better sense of the full context and impact of it, we will marvel at how much was revealed here. 

POP ORACLE Song of The Day (December 8, 2018): BLOODY DEATH SKULL – “New Age”

SIMPLE THINGS

I HAVE RUN A MILE IN MY HEAD
I DIDNT LISTEN TO A THING THAT YOU SAID
ITS THE SIMPLE THINGS
THAT MAKE YOU SMILE
ITS THE SIMPLE THINGS
THAT MAKE YOU SMILE

SO WHAT WENT WRONG
WAS IT ME THAT LET YOU DOWN AGAIN
WHAT WENT WRONG
HOW COULD I EVER LOSE MY BEST FRIEND

I HAVE CLIMBED THESE WALLS
TO CLEAR MY HEAD
THOUGHT I WAS SOMETHING MORE
BUT IM A FOOL INSTEAD

ITS THE SIMPLE THINGS
THAT MAKE YOU SMILE
ITS THE SIMPLE THINGS
THAT MAKE YOU SMILE

SO WHAT WENT WRONG
WAS IT ME THAT LET YOU DOWN AGAIN
WHAT WENT WRONG
HOW COULD I EVER LOSE MY BEST FRIEND

ITS THE SIMPLE THINGS
THAT MAKE YOU SMILE
ITS THE SIMPLE THINGS
THAT MAKE YOU SMILE
