Independent Journalism in Phoenix Needs You
We need to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
Banana Gun is a busy band. On average, this local blues/rock group performs twice a week, often playing free shows at Long Wong’s Firehouse and Yucca Tap Room. Drummer Ian Breslin describes “Sometimes,” a rhythmic guitar-driven song from the band’s debut EP, as a fan favorite.
“‘Sometimes’ is a song about how inspiring heartbreak can be. It’s common for expressions of art and creativity to be centered around a broken heart. There has been a lot of really good songs written over the years about it. When things are rough, it’s easier to write songs,” he says.
Check out lyrics and a stream of “Sometimes” after the jump.
Lyrics by Kevin Loyd
I don’t want to lose you girl
But I know you gotta leave
Said if you love someone
You know you gotta set them free
You’ve been talking lot about leaving
I hate to see you go
You know I’ll never be the one
Never be the one to tell you no
Sometimes
Sometimes you really blow my mind
You really blow my mind
I don’t want to lose you girl
But I know you gotta leave
Said if you love someone
You know you gotta set them free
You’ve been talking lot about leaving
But you left me with no doubt
Cause every time you do me wrong
You give me something to sing about
Sometimes
Sometimes you really blow my mind
You really blow my mind
Banana Gun Sometimes by bananagunband
