And they don’t even have a story to back it up. Even Explosions in the Sky take ten minutes to create a buildup this cataclismic. “Motorcycle Drive By” does this in four minutes, all while telling one of the most sad and truthful stories ever I have ever had the pleasure of reading.
Best third eye blind albums stereogum full#
First off, not many songs can start with a beautiful acoustic ballad, transition to a full on rock song, then drop out at the moment of most tension straight back into the beautiful song it started out as. Reasons the song is fantastic are numerous. That doesn’t detract anything from this song, though. Lots of love is what I have for this band, even if Stephan himself is widely known to be an asshole (my friend who loves him met him recently, after waiting for an hour, and he told him to go to the back of the line because some girls wanted to talk to him instead). In fact, all of their albums are amazing. Listen to their first album, because it’s amazing. He can take a simple subject like love and flip it upside down, onto its side, inside out, and all within three minutes. As a bona-fide English major, his lyrics are introspective, complex, verbose, and grandiose. Stephan Jenkins is one of the best songwriters on Earth, hands down. Being that it’s Perfect Song Thursday, I figured I should do a post on one of their greatest, if not best song, “Motorcycle Drive By.” Where to begin with this song– okay, I got it! I grew up with them, learned most of their lyrics, and they are one of my best friends’ favorite band. So, I mentioned yesterday that I love Third Eye Blind.
