Roman Candle: “Modern Radio Is A-OK”

Now he didn’t know, but while he was in jail
I’d had my heart broken by a woman too wondrous to tell
And we‘d fallen in love to half the songs that jukebox played

So when he flattened his dollar on the side of the machine
and I saw “Comes a Time” come on the karaoke screen
I knew there was a couple things I had forgot to say:

Don’t play Neil Young
Don’t play Van Morrison
Just let some high school emo band start versing and chorusing
Because there’s no way it will break my heart as far as I can see
And that’s why modern radio is A-OK with me.

Roman Candle’s latest—Oh Tall Tree In The Ear—has been on heavy rotation in my living room and this is absolutely my favorite song for today.  I highly suggest a stop by their website to stream more of their stuff.
