New Music Alert: Warbly Jets' "NASA"



I still remember Warbly Jets' The Satellite Residency back in January 2017. I went to two of their nights. The Satellite was just packed. This music video captures the joy and wildness of their residency. You have the band singing to the camera in a white room that quickly turns into a party seen filled with people. The white room shifts to a disco dance floor. The music has a pulsating dance club sound that will keep a house party going. 

The lyrics get you thinking, "Right on time We’re electrified Like spirits in the static We’ve been under the lights Oh my my From earth to the sky We keep on falling like we’re learning to fly." There is just something thrilling there. Electrified. From earth to sky. And yet it ends with "We keep on falling like we're learning to fly." What exactly is meant here. Flying makes us think of birds soaring above or Superman coming in to save the day. Yet falling, who wants to fall. Perhaps the point is that failing is something we need to learn to live with and that we should keep going on with life, finding it electrified, even if we're met with failure all the time.
