Exemplary Girl

about

What was said:

Indie Roundup:
The catchy “Exemplary Girl,” probably my favorite track, suggests vintage David Bowie in both its metallic sound and its androgynous subject matter

Power Of Pop:
“Exemplary Girl” brings Beatlesque psychedelic rock channeling to its logical conclusion with melodic hooks coming at you left, right and centre, in particular the revolving violins!
Itunes:
and if Paul McCartney ever took on blue-eyed soul, it could very well sound something like the standout cut “Exemplary Girl.”

lyrics

Exemplary Girl (4:19)

Daddy knew, momma should have
What about you might you could have
Caught confused make up tearing away
No more different than you
The pretty things not afraid of you
Girl he’s a girl he’s a girl
An exemplary girl (2x)

Stood it good androgynous apple wood
Don’t tell and play
Boys who discover matches say “what are you?”
Caught between what’s kept and true
High heeled not running away
Not for the fear of god to say
Girl he’s a girl he’s a girl
An exemplary girl (4x)
Oow, oow, oow, aah
Oow, oow, oow, aah

Girl he’s a girl he’s a girl
An exemplary girl (4x)
Oow, oow, oow, aah
Oow, oow, oow, aah

Another and me got married away
Daddy left us in the park and drove away

Brad Brooks Oakland, California

Brad Brooks is that rare quadruple threat of writer, player, singer, and performer.
His songs combine the melodic sensibility of Elvis Costello, the best instincts of Wilco and Brian Wilson, the orchestral sophistication of Queen, along w/the Stonesy/Bowie gritty edges of rock/soul.
"If you're anything like me, you need some good news. Brad Brooks' music is that good news”……….Wayne Kramer ... more
