I’ve been havin’ dreams
Jumpin’ on a trampoline
Flippin’ in the air
I never land, just float there
As I’m looking up
Suddenly the sky erupts
Flames alight the trees
Spread to fallin’ leaves
Now they’re right upon me
That would be Chelsea Lee, of the Washington, DC trio Shaed (pronounced Shade) singing “Trampoline” a massive hit on Alternative radio that’s now breaking into Adult Top 40.
“Trampoline” isn’t literal, rather, it communicates a mood and a vibe, and while the tempo is slower, it shares DNA with Blondie’s 1980 “The Tide is High,” especially in the lead vocals.
The video is weird, as is the song. In real life, Chelsea Lee looks normal and natural, but here she’s very made-up, wigged, and wrapped in chiffon. Artsy.
zero connection between these 2 songs, just my 2 cents, question do you care if you ever hear mesmerized again or would you spend money to buy it? No
Dear Randy,
Thank you for taking the time to comment.
You have a good point–not all songs are instant “clicks”, like, “oh yeah, those two songs are a match.”
Our objective is to keep readers connected to what’s new by making “suggetions”–“ball park”–“maybe you’ll like this”…
In this case, the link is the mood and the vocals.
Thankfully, the posts are short, so the time invested, or in your case, wasted is minimal.
We happy to have you as a discerning reader.
