This is just too good to not share. I love finding good music and new bands. It was HAIM’s pretty amazing cover of Fleetwood Mac’s Hold Me that had me looking for more music from the band. Seek and ye shall find and I loved what I found! (I have sought beautifully as one shopping site would always exclaim haha)
HAIM (sounds like rhyme) is made up 3 sisters from California. They will be releasing their debut album on Sept. 30. Forever (the video below) is a gem of pop-rock-punk song that’s just at the cusp of being too polished. It still has grit but it’s fresh. You can also hear familiar rhythms of songs past but they’ve made it entirely their own. I hear a lot of Fleetwood Mac in their work but really what they’ve created are great tributes to their influences.
One more thing, I can’t get over Danielle’s (the lead singer’s) tomboy style. I want the black moto jacket she’s wearing! I’m going to stalk her style soon haha 😀

Have a great weekend guys 🙂 See you on IG and twitter!
“Forever”
Hey you!
Remember me? Remember love?
Remember trying to stay together?
My time, you took it all.
You tried to see.
You tried to bring yourself up without involving me.
It isn’t fair, to have your way,
To try and get up and go and na na na na now can’t you see,
It isn’t fair to have your way,
But I’m trying to get your attention and I need you to know that.
Hey you! Hey you!
Can’t you make this thing?
I know, I know, I know you ain’t the one to play the game.
Now I know I’m gonna go your way.
Here we go, now I know, I know know know.
Forever I try to make it right,
Together we suck, end in sight,
I’m tired of fighting the good fight,
If you say the word then I’ll say goodbye.
Forever I see you and me,
Forever I’ll try for you and I,
No I never believed in the reason,
Just another good reason to get a ride.
I don’t want to turn around,
So come on baby,
Come on and try to let it out,
Let it go.
We’re still the same,
So come on baby,
Kick to the sounds, figure it out,
Let’s get back to where we started out.
Hey you! Hey you!
Can’t you make this thing?
I know, I know, I know you ain’t the one to play the game.
Now I know I’m gonna go your way.
Here we go, now I know, I know know know.
Forever I try to make it right,
Together we suck, end in sight,
I’m tired of fighting the good fight,
If you say the word then I’ll say goodbye.
Forever I see you and me,
Forever I’ll try for you and I,
No I never believed in the reason,
Just another good reason to get a ride.
Go go go go get out, get out of my memory,
No no no not tonight, I don’t have the energy.
Go go go go get out, get out of my memory,
No no no not tonight, oh not tonight, oh not tonight.
Forever I try to make it right,
Together we suck, end in sight,
I’m tired of fighting the good fight,
If you say the word then I’ll say goodbye.
Forever I see you and me,
Forever I’ll try for you and I,
No I never believed in the reason,
Just another good reason to get a ride.
Forever I try to make it right,
Together we suck, end in sight,
I’m tired of fighting the good fight,
If you say the word then I’ll say goodbye.
Forever I see you and me,
Forever I’ll try for you and I,
No I never believed in the reason,
Just another good reason to get a ride.
