“Take A Walk” by Judah & the Lion – A Song Review


      In “Take A Walk,” Judah & the Lion shared their most robust “band vocals” release. Such vocals are an accomplishment for a band with a core of two members - Judah Akers (vocals, guitar) and Brian Macdonald (mandolin, vocals). But the richness is appropriate for a song with lyrical content about a group of friends, even though the friends are not in the condition that envisioned as kids.
 
     In talking about the song, Judah & the Lion said:
  “Take A Walk” feels like the right time for us to reclaim some of the joy that can be hard to come by these days. We don't want to be positive just for the sake of being positive, we've seen our fair share of pain, and we hope that comes across in our music, and lyrics too. Hopefully, this song represents both sides: pure fun and excitement alongside the reality of life being really hard.

Lyrics of “Take A Walk” by Judah & the Lion
All of my friends are a mess
Just trying to make sense
Of how to live in a world
I can be so depressed
'Round and 'round we go
 
Me and my friends we get stressed
About the stupidest things
It's hard to get out of bed
Hard to get any sleep
'Round and 'round we go
 
Oh, we were gonna save the world
Oh, we can't even save ourselves
 
Let's go take a walk downtown
And act like we're the heroеs
That we dreamed wе'd be when we were young
We can be the giants
In the streets we learnt to drive in
And we'll ride away into the sun
(Two, three, four)
 
Me and my friends used to laugh
Without having to try
Now they're off to rehab
And I'm saying goodbye
'Round and 'round we go
 
Oh, we were gonna save the world
Oh, we can't even save ourselves
 
So let's go take a walk downtown
And act like we're the heroes
That we dreamed we'd be when we were young
We can be the giants
In the streets we learnt to drive in
And we'll ride away into the sun
 
One day, we'll be happy again
And we'll be innocent
Just like when we were kids
One day, we'll be happy again
And we'll be innocent
Just like when we were kids
 
So let's go take a walk downtown
And act like we're the heroes
That we dreamed we'd be when we were young
We can be the giants
In the streets we learnt to drive in
And we'll ride away into the sun
[Repeat]
