about

In “Chelsea,” front woman, Jane LeCroy, applies her hedonistic imperative to survival. We must persist in the twisted world that burns around us. Born from a text sent from a friend in the throes of a bitter divorce, this song teases out the silver lining from all pain. It is the second single from The Icebergs’ forthcoming sophomore album, Add Vice. The political climate demands we survive this dark time, we must crush the wave of fascism crashing down on the world. We have to maintain a joyous resistance, lest the bad guys win. Martin Philadelphy’s guitar improvisation imbibes the song with a drunken determination.

lyrics

I love being
in the flat in Chelsea
You must come
sit on the patio
with me
Swept up the dirt
and dying leaves
You’ll be pleased
You’ll be pleased

Wheel of Time
same old grind
nothing stays
and nothing’s mine
see the signs
heinous crimes
everything’s wrong
but we’ll feel fine
we’ll feel fine
everything’s wrong
but we’ll feel fine

bring some smokes
bring some jokes
bring some other herbs to toke
We’ll have wine
troubles left behind
clear the mind
everything’s wrong
but we’ll feel fine
