O: Over and Over by Rio Romeo

 

Welcome AtoZ-ers and other blog friends! This month I'm participating in the AtoZ blogging challenge, and you'll see a post every day (except Sundays) about one of the Songs of my Heart. Today's edition: Over and Over by Rio Romeo.  (If my embedded video won't work, you can listen at this link).

 

The youngest Bryant is fond of songs where there's a contrast between the sound and the content and it's a vibe that has really grown on me after all these years of letting them DJ when we're in the car together. 

This one sounds very cheerful on the surface with all those bouncy "boom ba da"s at the outset, but there's a rough edge to the voice and the strain begins to show. It appeals to the dark humor side of me. The one that thinks ya gotta laugh or you'll cry.

Lyrics from AtoZ:

Boom ba da
Doom ba da
Boom ba da
Doom ba da
Boom ba da
Doom ba da
Boom ba da
Doom ba da

Aaaaaaaaaaa

Over and over and
Over and over and
Over and over

Over and over
I f*ck myself over
And under and under
I do it again

Morning and evening
I felt I was grieving
Until I said f*ck you
And never again

Daytime or night time I feel I'm on my time
But my time is fickle
Just like a friend

And with my departure
From the pain I harbor
I feel I am sinking
And sailing to swim

Over and over and
Over and over and
Over and over and
Over and

Over and over and
Over and over and
Over and over and
Over and over and

Over and over and
Over and over and
Over and over and
Over and over and

Over and over and
Over and over and
Over and over and
Over and over

Over and over and
Over and over and
Over and over and
Over and over and

And with my departure
From the pain I harbor
I feel I am sinking
And sailing to swim
