Song Review: Lake Street Dive - “Twenty-Five” (Live at the Bridge Studio)

Bridget Kearney wrote it. Akie Bermiss played it. And Rachael Price sung it devastatingly.

It is “Twenty-Five,” the most-recent single from Lake Street Dive’s forthcoming (June 21) Good Together. And while the album version is, itself, incredible, this latest take, recorded at Brooklyn’s Bridge Studio bests it for the purity of Price’s generational voice and Bermiss’ piano.

In it, the narrator looks back and forward and in the middle of life finds herself conflating her fond memories of being young with love for the person she was young with. It’s a feeling everyone who had relationships in their 20s must have from time to time. But Kearney captured it perfectly and Price set it free as she sings:

But all of the joy we had and love we gave away back then/well, it never went to waste/’cause I’ll be an old woman with somebody else by my side/but I will always be in love with how you loved me/when we were twenty-five

Composition. Performance. Delivery. It all comes together for Lake Street Dive on this version of “Twenty-Five.” Listeners who don’t feel it are advised to check their pulse to ensure they’re not already dead.

Grade card: Lake Street Dive - “Twenty-Five” (Live at the Bridge Studio) - A+

I’m getting the feeling that there’s nothing we couldn’t do together.
