The World Is Full Of Saturdays

Lacrosse “It’s Always Sunday Around Here”

The wonderful thing about Lacrosse is that even when their songs express some great frustration, they still convey this incredible joy and overwhelming optimism, as though any obstacle could be overcome with focused positivity and willpower. “It’s Always Sunday Around Here” is essentially about wanting to get out of a boring rut, and though lyrically it never offers any real solution, the music sounds like six Swedes punching and kicking and smiling at life until it yields to their indomitable will, and everything becomes magical and exciting. The words may be passive, but the sound is so incredibly active — they’re earning their happy days, and working hard. The song is incredibly pleasurable, but more than that, it’s so useful: How could you not want to make your own life much better while listening to this?
