Girls - Hellhole Ratrace （10" single）
"It happened just like that..."
喜歡上一個人，一首歌，一個樂團，往往沒什麼理由，沒什麼可以或需要清楚解釋的來龍去脈。
某次偶然的機會，在youtube上看到了一個來自舊金山，主要由Christopher Owens和Chet JR White組成，叫做Girls的樂團，在The Hemlock Tavern, San Fransisco表演Solitude這首歌的錄音。我不知道會有多少人和我一樣，就這麼的，愛上了，然後像上了癮一般，反覆地，一天要聽上好幾次。
不久之後，Hellhole Ratrace的MV發行，滿滿的舊金山場景，美麗的人們，音樂之外，一種無形中已經逐漸重生活當眾逝去，無以名狀的感覺，彷彿都在歌曲當中重拾。"I work to eat and drink and sleep just to live, feels like I'm never getting back what I give."，怎能不感嘆，怎能不跟著在吉他噪音切入的當下，跟著亢奮起來。什麼時候，能有這樣的機會，伴著街燈，看到灰藍色的日出。
True Panther Sounds提供了Hellhole Ratrace的單曲下載，B-Side正是Solitude，意外地，Solitude並不會收錄在9/22即將發行的新專輯。不禁讓我更期待新專輯的到來，以及即將在現場見到他們。
Girls - Hellhole Ratrace
I'm sick and tired of the way that I feel,
I'm sick of dreaming and its never for real.
I'm all alone with my deep thoughts.
I'm all alone with my heartache and my good intentions.
I work to eat and drink and sleep just to live,
Feels like I'm never getting back what I give.
I've got a sad song in my sweet heart.
And all I really am is needing some love and attention.
And I don't want to cry my whole life through,
I want to do some laughing too.
So come on, come on, come on, come on, laugh with me.
And I dont want to die without shaking up a thing or two,
Yeah, I want to do some dancing too.
So come on, come on, come on, come on, dance with me.
Sometimes you've just gotta make it for yourself.
Sometimes sugar, it just takes someone else.
Sometimes you've just gotta make it for yourself.
Sometimes baby, you just need someone else.
And I dont want to cry my whole life through
I want to do some laughing too
So come on, come on, come on, come on, laugh with me.
And I dont want to die without shaking up a thing or two
Yeah, I want to do some dancing too
So come on, come on, come on, come on, dance with me.
Sometimes you've just gotta make it for yourself.
Sometimes honey, it just takes someone else.
Sometimes you've just gotta make it for yourself.
Sometimes darling, you just need someone else.
And I dont want to cry my whole life through
I want to do some laughing too
So come on, come on, come on, come on, laugh with me.
And I dont want to die without shaking up a thing or two
Yeah, I want to do some dancing too
So come on, come on, come on, come on, dance with me.
