about

Smokey Bright’s new single, “72,” is a love story that takes place on a city bus. The 72 bus line, now defunct, previously ran in North Seattle in 2009, around the time lead vocalists Kim West and Ryan Devlin began dating. The song reimagines the now-married couples’ romantic reconnection taking place on that city bus as they’re both coming home from their respective dismal and mundane work days. West heartbrokenly sings “I spend my days with people that just look right through me, wishing someone would look at me like you used to.” The instrumentation on “72" mirrors the clangs, thumps, and bustle of a crowded city bus as West works up the courage to ask, “So what are you doing tonight? I ain’t got nothing tonight. My stops just after the light. People can start again right?”

lyrics

I saw you last night on the 72
wasn’t sure at first if it was really you.
You caught my eye, said-
“Hey it’s been a minute or two
Crazy, lately I’ve been thinking of you.”

Tell me what’s new,
you stuck here too?
Are you headed home,
Is someone waiting for you?
Been way too long,
Just heard our song.
You Make-a My Dreams Come True
That made me think of you.

Spend my nights playing games
that I know I’ll lose.
Lately I’ve been thinking about you.
Spend my days with people
that just look right through me,
wishing someone would
look at me like you used to.

No there’s not much new
I’m stuck here too
Same place same job
Been on a date or two
But it’s all felt wrong
‘till i heard that song
I thought I moved on too,
I guess I’m stuck on you.

I’ve been thinking about you

So what are you doing tonight?
What are you doing tonight?
What are you doing tonight?
I ain't got nothing tonight
And my stops just after the light
People can start again right?
What are you doing tonight?

I’ve been thinking about you

IMPOSSIBLE WEIGHT
by Deep Sea Diver

supported by 5 fans who also own “72”

I'm going to say Beatlesque. Not for the arrangement. That is something unique to the record and really shines on headphones. Such a great mix! No, the B word is because each song has such a rock solid but never ever cloying melodic hook. You may find yourself whistling. Singing along! And then there's the guitar shredding! Grant Blankenship
