4-28-11 - "Pumped Up Kicks" ~ Foster The People

This is one of those incongruous songs - super catchy, but pretty heavy if you listen to the lyrics.  Great for head-bobbin', cruisin' on a gorgeous spring afternoon in a glorious city (guess where I heard the song today?), but sobering if you give the lyrics a good listen.  I'll leave you to analyze the meaning if you so choose, but I like the song based on musical and lyrical merit alike:




"I've waited for a long time,
yeah the sleight of my hand is now a quick pull trigger..."
