Clocking in at eight-and-a-half minutes, [SONG] is their most expansive and adventurous track to date. It opens with a country-tinged sound, and as the instrumentation swells, so does [ARTIST]’s voice: “Singin’ hey now // What was that sound // Lighting a match // Just to freak you out // Then on the other side // I saw fifty yellow lines // Pushing up against the window // And with One almighty lightning strike // The Great Lake rose up behind // Said, ‘Baby, you best turn around.’”
