Starbucks Single of the Week Review: ‘The High Road’ by Broken Bells
Broken Bells’ “The High Road” has been on multiple U.S. and foreign rock music charts since its release in fall 2009. Written by James Mercer (Lead singer of The Shins) and Brian Burton (AKA Danger Mouse the producer) “The High Road” is a collaboration where these men mix electronica and standard instruments that create a successful experiment in sound. What is odd about this track is the lyrics. “The garden is sorting out/She curls her lips on a bar/I don’t know if you’re dead or not/If you’re anyone” are some of the oddest combination of words you may hear, however as the track progresses you can make some sense of them. Your idea of what the song is about may not be the lyricists’ intentions, but that’s irrelevant. The good thing about this song is that it’s whatever you make of it – and that’s all that matters for solid replay value.
