“Someone Who’ll Get It” by Highasakite – A Song Review

     If this band just needs “that one song” in order to experience a recognition explosion in the U.S., then get your protective gear. Highasakite released “Someone Who’ll Get It,” which is a politically motivated song. It has nothing to do with last night’s contentious Republican debut, but applying the lyrics (included in this post) to what’s happening can be entertaining:
Send somebody out of his mind
Send a God Damn leader
Send someone not psycho polite
Send some God Damn freedom
Someone breathing.

     Highasakite is a Norwegian Pop/Folk band. The members are Ingrid Helene Håvik (zither, steeldrum and vocals), Trond Bersu (drums), Øystein Skar (synths), Marte Eberso (synths), and Kristoffer Lo (guitar and flugabone). The use of the flugabone sets the band’s music apart from almost any other Indie band. But we don’t hear the instrument in “Someone Who’ll Get It.”
     “Someone Who’ll Get It” will be included in Highasakite’s forthcoming sophomore LP ‘Camp Echo,” which is scheduled for release on May 20 via Propeller Recordings. The eight tracks on the LP will be: 
1. My Name Is Liar
2. Samurai Swords
3. Someone Who´ll Get It
4. My Mind Is A Bad Neighborhood
5. God Don’t Leave Me
6. I Am My Own Disease
7. Golden Ticket
8. Deep Sea Diver

Lyrics of “Someone Who’ll Get It” by Highasakite
Send somebody to me alive
Send somebody vital
Send someone not likely to die
Send someone who's vital
Send a fighter
Send a fighter.

Send somebody to me tonight
Send somebody bolder
Send someone not likely to break
Send someone who's older
Send a soldier.

Tonight is all you got to go with me
There's no more everyday
Tonight is all, and then it’s over
There's no more everyday
Send a soldier.

Someone who'll get it
[Repeated]
That's all
Someone who'll get it
[Repeated]
That's all

Send somebody out of his mind
Send a God Damn leader
Send someone not psycho polite
Send some God Damn freedom
Someone breathing.

Tonight is all you got to go with me
There's no more everyday
Tonight is all, and then it’s over
There's no more everyday
Send a soldier.

Someone who'll get it
[Repeated]
That's all
Someone who'll get it
[Repeated]
That's all
Someone who'll get it
[Repeated]
That's all
Someone who'll get it
[Repeated]
That's all

Send a soldier
