A reverb-guitar-driven song with a fine arc that has been on my mind of late. If you can hear through the accent (or read the lyrics), you'll find a short, sad, poignant story about patriarchal pressure and schoolyard fighting. Pay special attention to the beat, which morphs from a tick to a pound over the course of the song, eventually representing a fast-paced heartbeat and, later, I interpret, actual punches. The lyrics don't give you an ending to the story, but the music does. I love that. For being 3 minutes, I'm surprised by the emotional resonance I have with this one.   1
