As you may have just noticed, I've already gotten rid of the "all covers posts." All of a sudden, I'm beginning to find posts of that nature very restrictive and slowly morphing my schedule to include generalized themes. I like to give myself some leeway (I just discovered leeway is an actual word!). So, instead, I've now dubbed Mondays "Song(s) Of The Day" posts on Looks Like Coffee, Tastes Like Juice, which ties in nicely with the, "Album & Band Of The Week" posts. So, join me now in the celebration of the first ever Looks Like Coffee, Tastes Like Coffee Song of the Day post.
The song of the day today is The Reputation of Ross Francis by My Latest Novel. My Latest Novel are from the small town of Greenock, near Glasgow in Scotland, and it is very evident, as you can definitely hear the influences of many other Scottish bands in their music. Anyways, this particular song is off their 2006 release Wolves (which is a wonderful CD as well) and has been released as a single.
The song seems to be about the (fictional?) character Ross Francis and his eventually prevailing pleas to get into heaven, as he stands outside the gates. He makes various claims, such as, "A savoir I've been called, and it's justified, it's true" and "The lives I've touched are frivolous or few." Somehow, though, judging by his incessant claims, stating how he's changed and he's not as he's used to be, I think that our very hero isn't as heroic as we all are lead to believe. I also say this because of one of the last lines in the second verse, where he finally is let in and uncrosses his fingers and grins. Well, that's my interpretation of the lyrics of this wonderful song. I know you didn't ask for it!
