Ted Leo / Pharmacists - “Biomusicology”
Ten years ago this weekish I went to two Rainer Maria shows—one at North Six in Brooklyn, one at First Unitarian Church in Philly—and Caitlin’s voice was broken for both, so Ted Leo and the Pharmacists opened. I bought the CD at the first show and was floored again at the second. This is a song about youth, and an anthem about coming up for air after a few years of “action,” among other things. It was a good anthem for me for the past ten years, and I’ll be listening to it ten years from now. It makes me wish I lived near an ocean. The whale on the album cover was so cool.
Had we never come across the vastness of pavement
The barrenness of waves and the grayness of the sea
Never lost or ne’er been misguided
We’d have ne’er reached seas so shining
