HAIM - Days Are Gone
This is my favorite song from 2013. I keep waiting to come to my senses and realize that this is just a corny throwaway pop song, but it's just not happening. This is the ultimate "happy place" song, and it never stops working. I could be in any of the following situations and still smile when this came on:
- stuck in the DMV all day long with flesh-eating zombies slowing chewing on my ankles, unable to move due to temporary paralysis caused by eating a poisoned Reuben sandwich.
- taking a thirty- five hour long Improv Comedy Traffic School course, surrounded by eighty-three cantankerous octogenarians on trial for vehicular manslaughter for having barreled through a farmer's market yelling, "PESTICIDES FOREEEEVEEEEERRRR!"
- working a double shift at the zoo, assigned to elephant dung clean-up after someone switched out all the elephant food with Taco Bell's new Taco Waffles.
- riding the NYC subway 24 hours straight during a record heat wave with mandatory breaks every three hours during which my only task is to crawl on empty tracks and catch as many rats as possible.
- working as Toby Keith's personal assistant, my main duty being to point out any males that don't appear to be "Ford Tough," so they can be summarily executed via strangulation by American flags woven out of moldy bread left over from Guy Fieri's last cookout.
I was morbidly curious about Haim after hearing this song the first time, and despite looking like they flew straight from an American Apparel shoot, it turns out they're sisters who have been playing music together since they were small kids. The psychotic bassfaces the one sister makes cements them as the real deal. They apparently co-wrote "Days Are Gone" with Jessie Ware, which makes sense, cause she also rules.
