FJODOR

It Be's Like That Sometimes

music

I'm so happy this song was released. To me at least, it was a complete surprise that this song
even existed. Never heard or read anything about it before it was included on the SOTT SDE.

It's one of the tracks I return to most often.

It's sparse but it doesn't feel like a demo to me at all, it seems like it's complete and fully
developed. And I love everything about it.

Together with a bunch of other tracks from the SOTT SDE, this makes me so happy each time
I get to listen to it again.

I'm with you FJODOR. The song is a gem to me, also. It seems to me the lyrical content is atypical for him--not lovelorn but a preponderance on the downbeat of life.

Really love it and was also surprised to found out about this one.

This song to me is proof there possibly are many other songs in the vault we have no idea they excist.

-

It has that funky happy vibe and great melodic guitar.

That sped-up vibraphone is cute in the break.

The whole song sound like a sketch, but so damn nice, as if it's cut off/faded out too fast.

(Maybe there's a longer version?)

I can even hear horns over this in my mind. smile

Some of the sung parts sound very much like melodic sketches as in 'The Ball'.

(that probably was already mentioned here by others)

It's a joyous song, at least musically, just like "The Ball" and "Eye Know". I like it.

Great track! I've been playing the SOTT vault tracks a lot lately. I OD'd on them when the SDE was released and had to take a break for a bit. SOOO many top tracks including this one. Soul Psychodelicide is the one I just can't get enough of. But seriously they all are top.
