Occasionally, you come across a song where the melody immediately catches your attention, and as you listen to it again and again, you think to yourself, Hey maybe I should listen to the lyrics, see what this song’s actually about. As you embark on this journey to listen to the lyrics, you realize something: you have no fucking clue what this song is even about. You could take an entire college course on "My Unkempt Billies" by Bly Wallentine, and you still might not know.* But that’s okay because you don’t even care what it’s about. You shrug it off because it’s a certified banger.
Imagine such a song, a certified banger, with a clear Bowie influence mixed with indie artists such as Mt. Joy or Rainbow Kitten Surprise. Can’t really imagine it? Just listen to “My Unkempt Billies.” 

It’s part psych rock but a much happier version, not that these two things are mutually exclusive. Psychedelic rock can be happy, but it is literally impossible to listen this song and not have it pick up your spirits. As a chronic sad boy who is addicted to the melancholy and goes months at a time without listening to a single "happy" song, I should avoid this track. Yet like a dog to its own vomit, I come back again and again to get my daily dose of musical upper.
*Now did I reach out to Bly to ask them what this song is about? Of course not!
