Summer Power Punk: Braids – “Joni”
Braids
“Joni”
Companion
Braids is from Montreal. Wow, what a wonderful sound. Somehow this trio reminds of Letters For Cleo. They have a very distinctive sound. Also, they are very secretive, and extremely good. Check them out. Live they are unbelievable. Wonderful band. A pop sound that totally kicks proverbial ass. Oh, posted below are the lyrics of “Joni”, a great poetic song.

Are we ok? Are we afraid? A river running inside of me Of all the unknown along the way Joni’s playing in the car on a highway Saw a man driving with his front window smashed in He was swerving with the wind and its guidance If he felt loved would he be doing this? We don’t know where we are going I wanna be fine with not knowing darling Can my home be here inside of me Even when I’m on the other side of where I wanna be What I wanna see in myself Can’t ask nobody else to find I am the day Freer than I ever felt before We don’t know where we are going I wanna be fine with not knowing darling Can my home be here inside of me Even when I’m on the other side of where I wanna be |
