Last night I went to a Pedro the Lion show… first one not at Cornerstone ;). Show started pretty late… was supposed to have started at 8:30…. doors didn’t open till 9, and I think it started slightly after 9:30. Opening bands were pretty good… but Ester Drang had too long of a set, especially considering that the show started late. And I didn’t really like the vocals for them… the next band, Stratford Four, was pretty good overall. I enjoyed them. Anyway, then of course was Pedro. I was very happy to get to see him live. He was playing bass, which was new, since both times i saw him before he was playing guitar… He played like 6 new songs… I pretty much liked them all… was kind of a cool touch because they haven’t written all the music for them yet, so it was just him playing on acoustic, rather then the whole band. I tried to find the lyrics to one of the new songs online somewhere, but haven’t been able to do so as of yet… but the song had what I felt was a really cool line in it… I dunno… when I heard it I just thought it was a great line:
“My old man always swore that Hell would have no flames, just a front row seat to watch your true love pack her things and drive away.”
And also for another song, which now that I have read the lyrics I think it makes a pretty good point… but umm.. yeah, I think it should spur some kind of good discussion maybe? Anyway, here you go:
“I don’t wanna believe that none of the above is true
But I couldn’t resist it, if you were to give me proof
Why don’t you come over Thursday, maybe we can talk it through
But I’ll be packin my pistol just in case you aren’t true, I’ll shoot you
After all, you and I are nothing more than Foregone Conclusions
You were too busy steering the conversation toward the Lord
to hear the voice of the Spirit saying “shut the fuck up”
you thought it must be the devil trying to make you go astray
besides it couldn’t have been the Lord because you’re pretty sure
he doesn’t talk that way
After all, you and I are nothing more than Foregone Conclusions (repeat)”
