Riff: Passion Pit – “Take a Walk”

Oct 31, 2012

I sit and watch my children play some board game in the kitchen/And I pray they never feel my strife

from Take a Walk lyrics by Passion Pit

Oppressively catchy – in a good way. Resolve through economic desperation makes for an interesting story for such a heavy dance hit, but it gives you something real and timely to sing on the floor. Don’t worry: the hook will save you from how dark the lyrics can get.
