ECHOSMITH ~ COOL KIDS

Recently, we were at an Arts & Gardens festival in a beautiful Sussex village called Henfield. It is an event we have been going to for some years now.

Alongside being able to visit some beautiful private gardens which people open to the public for the weekend, these gardens often have musicians playing in them too. Needless to say, I pick these ones out from the programme of events and head right for them!

This year, right at the end of the schedule I spotted an event in the beautiful old parish church where some young local musicians vere playing. It was one of the last events of the weekend on the Sunday afternoon and - rather sadly - not many people were there. This is there loss, as they missed some great music.

One of the bands was called Route 42. (See reviews in Sussex Life  and All About Horsham Magazine) They were brilliant and we bought their album.

Unfortunately, I cannot find any of Route 42's music on You Tube.... but they did a brillant cover of this song from Echosmith's 2013 album entitled 'Talking Dreams'.

This has now become one of my 'Me Songs' because I relate to it so much. I can really identify with wanting to be one of the 'cool kids', but never quite making it..... I still feel like that today actually, even at the ripe old age of (almost) sixty-four!

I guess it is a little bit late for me to become one of the cool kids now though! :-) :-) :-)
  • I wish that I could be like the cool kids,
    Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in


She sees them walking in a straight line, that's not really her style.
And they all got the same heartbeat, but hers is falling behind.
Nothing in this world could ever bring them down.
Yeah, they're invincible, and she's just in the background.
And she says,

"I wish that I could be like the cool kids,
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in.
I wish that I could be like the cool kids, like the cool kids."

He sees them talking with a big smile, but they haven't got a clue.
Yeah, they're living the good life, can't see what he is going through.
They're driving fast cars, but they don't know where they're going.
In the fast lane, living life without knowing.
And he says,

"I wish that I could be like the cool kids,
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in.
I wish that I could be like the cool kids, like the cool kids.
I wish that I could be like the cool kids,
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to get it.
I wish that I could be like the cool kids, like the cool kids."

And they said,
"I wish that I could be like the cool kids,
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in.
I wish that I could be like the cool kids, like the cool kids.
I wish that I could be like the cool kids,
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in.
I wish that I could be like the cool kids, like the cool kids.
I wish that I could be like the cool kids,
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to get it.
I wish that I could be like the cool kids, like the cool kids."

Whoa [3x]

Like the cool kids
