"Sing Along" by Sturgill Simpson - A Song Feature


     The man is talented. But we didn’t see an association between Sturgill Simpson and Indie Obsessive. Simpson has left his Indie days behind him and he is aligned with a genre that is outside our area of expertise. We are pleasantly surprised at our attachment to his single “Sing Along.” It is a Rocker, perhaps most along the lines of a fully energized Black Keys single.

     It gets better! The video is a post-apocalyptic animation with a Robin theme - a futuristic Robin Hood-like hero in a Batman and Robin-like vehicle. The video is a preview of an anime film that will be released via Netflix on September 27, 2019.

Lyrics of "Sing Along" by Sturgill Simpson
Words can stab as deep as night
And cut like razor thorn
Bitter air and winds of spite
Like the cold of winter’s scorn

Leaves may fall on sleeping ground
But the wind sweeps them away
Like hurt lovers in the final round
What once was in now decay

I can't go on
Living alone
Now that you're gone

A single strand of spider's weave
Just dancing in the sun
Please don't turn around and leave
You are my only one

Compromise is made out of peace
But history is made out of violence
After the war of words has ceased
All that's left is the deafening silence

I can't go on
Living alone
Now that you're gone
You done me wrong
So, here's your song
Now sing along, baby

Hell, I know you know that you're killing me
But its’ worth it just to see you smile
Tell ‘em to carve my name in the barstool baby
You know I'm gonna be here awhile

A single strand of spider's weave
Just dancing in the sun
Please don't turn around and leave
You are my only one

I can't go on
Living alone
Now that you're gone
You done me wrong
So, here's your song
Now sing along
