A New Indie Song Everyday (A Bitter Mind) 3-13-11

This one is going to be personal and humorous.  Every song that comes on the radio my husband decides to interject the word squirrel and it is just random and silly  The song for today comes very close to his radio interpretations.  He approved of this song by A Bitter Mind called Secret Life of Squirrels.

A Bitter Mind can be found here:

Is Secret Life of Squirrels a  punk/ska comedy song?  Noticeably ska sounds starts out and lyrics early on reveal the point of the song," In my Rock'n Chair away from the world... think'n bout the Secret Life of Squirrels"   My imagination goes wild as A Bitter Mind sets in on the guitar playing.   

Are these squirrels like the guinea pig show G Force?  No I think we miss the point when we get into the comedy aspect.  A Bitter Mind actually seems to be locking the world out and really sick of everything.  The squirrels are merely the scape goats in this song.  The song rocks out a little anger with some humorous ska beats and weird sound effects and shortly ends with "Sick and tired of Shit".  He Sums it up that the secret life of squirrels could actually be better than his little world for that moment or two.

Secret Life of Squirrels makes me chuckle, but examining it to true potential, the little quirks of sound effects in the song help me to visualize the escape method focused on in A Bitter Minds song.
