Don Vigil, from The Prelude Press, reviews Bear Hands newly released album, You’ll Pay For This and “Deja Vu”.
“Déjà Vu” is the perfect example of the wide array of sounds and moods on You’ll Pay For This. Lyrically and vocally, this song is fun and smart, with catchy nearly-rapped lines such as, “...
[Verse 1]
I'mma get shit started while you watch, stopping at the bar
Yeah, I'mma get fucked up while you sip on your Evian
Exit as my song comes on
Argue all you want, you know I'm driving home
Oh, did I just see you crying in my rear-view?
It's like déjà vu, déjà vu
[Chorus]
We could go the distance
Nothing you could say to me would make it different
Déjà vu, déjà vu
(Déjà, Déjà vu)
[Verse 2]
Back and everybody's asking
'Bout whatever happened with that girl last week
As you can imagine I don't have the answers
Maybe how I acted?
Can't regret that which I can't remember
Oh did I just hear you? New lyric but same tune
It's like déjà vu, déjà vu
[Chorus]
We could grow the pinion
Nothing that you could say to me would make it different
Déjà vu, déjà vu
[Bridge]
Broken rib, a broken jaw
Open up and say ahhh
A list of all my symptoms
Tell me what you think I'm missing
But you got to kill the pain doc
[Outro]
Déjà vu, déjà vu
But you got to kill the pain doc
Déjà vu, déjà vu
Déjà vu, déjà vu
Déjà Vu was produced by Ted Feldman.
Bear Hands released Déjà Vu on Fri Apr 15 2016.
