Gold rose crown, you broke down, and left me with a
Chest hum, a black gun, and forty dollars

Three weeks down, I drowned myself in whiskey
Came back round, and drowned out, and left me with a
Chest hum, a black gun, and forty dollars

Streetlights talk the same way my mother told me
I walk the same way my father told me
Back straight, chest out, just like a soldier

Minnesota indie rockers Hippo Campus are clearly still growing as a band and willing to dig deeper as their popularity has dramatically increased the last year or so. Their first full-length LP (Landmark, just out) has some great tracks worth repeated hearings, but I wanted this to be their first Most Important, as it's is the hit that gained them their label signing IMO, and was my fave when I saw them play at Blackheart during SXSW.
