Artist:Loquat
Song:Swingset Chain
There's a playground that we used to run on
The penny-drop that broke her arm
The monkey bars that you fell from
The swingset chain that stuck with my tongue
It's thirty below and we're far gone
If you plant yourself here I wouldn't miss you for long
But then comes the day when you leave town
I'm back to the way I was when you weren't around
If you want to know what that was like
I'll tell you first, it was way too quiet
It rained a hundred nineteen days of the year
I spent my time falling down the stairs
I know I can't tie you to a leash
But something tells me you'd go further than Greece
And then I'll have to figure out what to do
I'm kind of afraid I'm co-dependent on you
I'm freaking out that we've started breaking down
Before momentum picked up
Now all these doors are locked
The trees trick you 'cause they're always standing still
If time was really racing by
You could see it when you drive
There's a rooftop deck where we still hang out
A couple of bars where we're not allowed
The roller-skates that threw you on your face
The park on the hill which was our only space
The fog is fast and it rolls right in
About the time I struck my first fifth of gin
I really don't mean to complain too much
But this is turning me into quite the lush
I'm freaking out that we're running out of time
But to do what?
Should I stop and think of that?
Is there something I could do to slow it down?
Live in a day for once
Instead of watch it screaming by
You're a dandelion seed
That flies through the air
And lands randomly
Then disappears
x2
I'm freaking out that we've started breaking down
Before momentum picked up
Now all these doors are locked
The trees trick you 'cause they're always standing still
If time was really racing by
You could see it when you drive
1996年Kylee Swenson 和 Earl Otsuka相识开始创作音乐。五年后，贝斯手,鼓手和键盘手相继加入，于是他们的乐队生涯正式开始了。
2002年Loquat发行了两张EP《The Penny Drop》和《Fall》。2003年又发行了EP《Before the Momentum》。这一年是他们丰收的一年，他们和The Cardigans 以及 Evan Dando一起演出，并获得2003 SF Weekly Music Awards最佳流行组合奖。紧接着他们又于2004年发行了专辑《It's Yours to Keep》，最新专辑是2008年发行的《Secrets Of The Sea》。
Loquat的音乐虽然让人听着非常舒服，但不同于一般甜甜蜜蜜的小清新，因为你可以从女主唱的声音中感受到与众不同的气场。（文/橘子郡达人）
