The music was new, black polished chrome
And came over the summer like liquid night
The DJ's took pills to stay awake
And played for seven days

They went to the studio and someone knew him
Someone knew the TV showman
He came to our homeroom party
And played records and when he left
In the hot noon sun and walked to his car
We saw the Chooks had written
F-U-C-K on his windshield
He wiped it off with a white rag
And smiling coolly, drove away

He's rich, got a big car

    My Interpretation

    It's about a record producer who lives, works and hangs out around sunset blvd. He's rich from being a producer and he's got a fast car.

    Either a record producer or a tv presenter.

Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
