Modern Artists like Leon Bridges and Son Little marry hip hop or RnB rhythms often to acoustic based songs. Its an opportunity to blend elements that you love from 2 generations of music into one song - some lyrical bite, sweetened by 60s vocal harmonies.


FAKING IRONY

I see your troubles start from within
And she is prickling cause you’re so wooden
Look at her sparkle like the lemon
Floating on her pour of bubbly gin

Life is serious but only at certain times of day
Where’s the gazelle leap to release your mind to play

It’s a hard road when you take everything literally
If only you could take a course in faking irony
But here you are your face is pinched and spidery
If only you could take a course in faking irony

For you gravity and time operate differently
You’re drowning in the history of epiphany
Will you ever get to feel for the other side
Letting go that crippling brainy ultra-pride

She needs a belly laugh that drops her to the ground
Nothing sexy ‘bout your analysing head up in the clouds

It’s a hard road . . . faking irony

Your birth blueprint and childhood pricked you like a thorn
But your conscience can’t be faulted and you’re always doing good
You probably can’t be changed and that’s an awful thought
Cause things I’m advocating - they probably can’t be taught

She needs a belly laugh that drops her to the ground
Nothing sexy ‘bout your analysing head up in the clouds

It’s a hard road . . . faking irony
