#roger's theme

[tom-hiddleston-ass]

When a man is running from his boss Who hold a gun that fires "cost" And people die from being cold Or left alone because they're old And bombs are dropped on fighting cats And children's dreams are run with rats If you complain you disappear Just like the lesbians and queers No one can love without the grace Of some unseen and distant face And you get beaten up by blacks Who though they worked still got the sack And when your soul tells you to hide Your very right to die denied And in the battle on the streets You fight computers and receipts And when a man is trying to change But only causes further pain You realize that all along Something in us going wrong... You stop dancing.

Still posting some of the Features oldest material. The Features "Roger's Theme" The Features, EP release (1997) Aside from the songs that were re-worked for the Mahaffey Sessions in 2000 ("Armani Suede" and "Paid to Think"), this is easily my favorite pre-Rollum Features track. I don't even know how this happened. It just started coming up when my iPod was on shuffle and I took to it. The song is a lot of fun and pretty much contains all the highlights of the five-piece Features lineup. The song cruises along at midtempo, way relaxed and chill, and only takes a second to get even more relaxed in the bridge before freaking out in the chorus. Just like Pelham howls, this song is dynamite. I love the drum sound on this song, with almost every hit of the snare drum having that echo on it. Musically this is a great song, and lyrically it's a lot of fun. The way Pelham uses his entire range, going high at the end of lines, it makes it a fun song to sing along to. I don't really know how much this song has in common with bassist Roger Dabbs, who I assume is being referenced in the title, but I do know that Roger is pretty funky dude. "Roger's Theme" was active in 1996 and was recorded here for the band's debut EP in 1997. The song was demoed again in 1998 for the Dortch Sessions before being dropped at some point between then and, I'm assuming, Rollum joining. Since I wasn't a fan of the song in 2003 when the band was doing the All-Request Show, I used all my power and votes to get "Jurley" played. "Roger's Theme" has, to my knowledge, not been played live in over a decade. THIS VERSION APPEARS ON: The Features, EP release (1997)
