LOVERS ON THE RUN BY THE PLASTIC CHERRIES

I have been making year-end lists, sharing my top songs and albums of 2022, and I don’t know how I kept forgetting to include this song. “Lovers On The Run” by The Plastic Cherries should have been in the running for the Mommy's Song of the Year, and I just spaced it.

I feel stupid for forgetting about it, especially when I remember the first time listening to the song. The pounding of the drums like the call of Jumanji. A guitar riff badass enough to be played while standing on top of a doomsday vehicle from Mad Max: Fury Road. All combined with a voice so hypnotic that sirens would envy it.

So, I’m sorry. I am making an entire post as an apology—an offering to not only the band but the music Gods themselves so they don’t strike me down in my forgetfulness, my ignorance, my hubris, thinking that I had covered all of my bases.

​Will they forgive me? Only time will tell.
