The breezy, accessible track, which instantly recalls Tom Petty, features the jangly interplay of guitars and organ alongside Ocean’s warm as the California sunshine vocals.
“We’ve been here so many nights
Side by side through the same old fights
Round and round while the record plays
Looking back on better days
And here we go again
It’s like this road won’t ever end
It circles back to you my friend
And here we go again”
Ocean was born in a small woodland house in the Hudson Valley, raised in rural Maine, and enlightened by time spent in New York City. He’s landed in Los Angeles for now, where the Sunset Strip is a wasteland, Silverlake has peaked, and the spirit of Laurel Canyon echoes through the hills of Highland Park. The end of the world is a damn inspirational place to be.
