Cover art for Ah, Mary lyrics by Grace Potter and the Nocturnals

This song is clever and political; somewhere GP claims to have never ventured before in song. My favorite part of the song is when she sings, ever so coolly, “Ah, Mary, she’ll bake you cookies then she’ll burn your town.” Before I looked up the lyrics, I thought she sang “tongue” instead of “town”. Either way, she gets her point across. Another bit that gives her stance away is at the end when she sings, “Ah, Mary, Mary, Mary, America.” I love how the words connect. Ah-Mary, America. It is the simple profoundness only a classic rocker can achieve.
