“Slide” by LPX – A Song Review

     LPX is a Category 5 swirl of strength and power. That applies to her song releases and is even more accurate in describing her live performances. We grabbed an opportunity to see LPX when she opened for Haim at the Fox Theater in Oakland. Too often, gig-goers are easily distracted until the headliner hits the stage. That was not a problem at the Fox. Embedded at the bottom of this post are two videos from the evening (they are not from our camera – Thank you “AdmiralNeeda”). The cover of Le Tigre’s “Deceptacon” is included to show the energy LPX expends during a performance, while her track “Tremble” is included because it was our favorite song of the evening.

     LPX dropped another single from her six-track EP “Bolt In The Blue,” which is scheduled for a January 12, 2018 release. It’s another Powerhouse Pop track. She took a melancholy theme and made it dance. “Slide” is about a relationship that has the promise of greatness, but the other member is willing to “let it slide.” LPX adds voice inflections to the melody to emphasis the emotion.

     LPX is Lizzy Plaginger, who is the MS member of MS MR. “Slide” was co-written with and produced by Jenny D (Jenn Decilveo).

Lyrics of “Slide” by LPX
I'm not acting my age
I've been playing a spade
Playing it over and over again
I don't wanna feel pain
But I want you

Our hands trapped in a wire
I could call you a liar
I get no relief when I call you a name
But it's hard not to cave
When I want to

No one ever warns, no one ever warns ya
No one ever warns, no one ever warns ya
No one ever warns, no one ever warns ya

The sweetest love in life
Cuts you like a knife
Ripping your insides
Leaves you paralyzed
Can't believe you let it slide
Let it slide, let it slide

We could've had the world
But you let us burn
Like a curse
Can't believe it doesn't hurt
For you to just let it slide
Let it slide, let it slide

Like sand inside of Vaseline
There's friction in the space between
I'm just picking a fight
‘Cause I want you
Attached to who we used to be
Like lead balloons that weigh on me
Hard to erase what I feel, do I need to?

No one ever warns, no one ever warns ya
No one ever warns, no one ever warns ya
No one ever warns, no one ever warns you now

The sweetest love in life
Cuts you like a knife
Ripping your insides
Leaves you paralyzed
Can't believe you let it slide
Let it slide, let it slide

We could've had the world
But you let us burn
Like a curse
Can't believe it doesn't hurt
For you to just let it slide
Let it slide, let it slide

The sweetest love in life
Cuts you like a knife
Ripping your insides
Leaves you paralyzed
Can't believe you let it slide
Let it slide, let it slide

We could've had the world
But you let us burn
Like a curse
Can't believe it doesn't hurt
You just let it slide
Let it slide, let it slide

Ohhhhh!
Ohhhhh!
Let it slide, let it slide, let it slide
Let it slide, let it slide, let it slide
Ohhhhh!
