Band pop-punk asal Chicago, Real Friends telah merilis album terbaru di bulan Mei 2016 bertajuk “The Home Inside My Head”. Dan nggak salah kalau album ini memiliki rating yang tinggi, karena hampir semua track memiliki kesan tersendiri.
Sebagai single pertama “Quicker” (april) cukup impresif. Dan di bulan Mei ini, Real Friends merilis single baru plus video musik “Mokena”.
Agak berbeda dengan sebelumnya, lagu ini justru lebih calm, namun tetap seperti lagu-lagu Real Friends sebelumnya, memiliki nuansa emosional. Mid-tempo rocker yang mengemas lirik introspektif.
Mokena sendiri merupakan sebuah desa di Illinois. Lokasinya dekat dengan tempat asal Real Friends.
Lirik :
[Verse 1]
Staring out the window in my bedroom makes me think back
I see me as a boy out there
Lying in the grass
Singing songs with all the wrong notes
And graduating high school as my mom cries
I’m writing the same song over and over again
And feeling lost
I’ve always felt so lost[Pre-Chorus]
I’m f**king up and getting over it
I’m over it
I’m f**king up and getting over it
I’m over it
I’m over it[Chorus]
I used to get half way home and give up on getting there
I’ll stumble over my own feet
Thinking about everyone and everything that got past me[Verse 2]
I clenched the wheel the whole way home from Cleveland
With nothing more than my eyes half way open
And my hand smelling like smoke
Each mile I drive gets me closer to the streets that made me feel alone
I’m out of place and it doesn’t feel wrong[Pre-Chorus]
I’m f**king up and getting over it
I’m over it
I’m f**king up and getting over it
I’m over it
I’m over it[Chorus]
I used to get half way home and give up on getting there
I’ll stumble over my own feet
Thinking about everyone and everything that got past me[Outro]
I’ll stumble over my own feet
Thinking about everyone and everything that got past me
Note : Dua track tambahan di album The Home Inside My Head (Deluxe Edition) “I Was Blind The Whole Time” dan “Seed”
