Berkeley Social Scene

When you're jonesing
They'll come running
They lift you up
They’ll get you high

Up Up Up
Down Down Down
There go the Elevator Men

Give them a call
When you’re down low
They deliver you
That pure white snow

Up Up Up
Down Down Down
There go the Elevator Men

Life of crime
On the climb
Hustlers rise
Ghetto demise

Up Up Up
Down Down Down
There go the Elevator Men
Up Up Up
Down Down Down
There go the Elevator Men

These guitars are fun! Not entirely sold on the hi-hat at the chorus because it distracts from the other stuff, but it's fun, too. I think I'd have preferred a different drum mix or sound, but I really like the funk beat at the verses. Thoroughly enjoy the bridge. The chorus leaves a little to be desired, as it feels like a pre-chorus transition. I think I would like the vocals dryer and a smidge louder on this one.

God I’m dense. At first I’m thinking this is a positive song about the elevator guys that actually hit the buttons & shit for you. Then the snow line & I spend 2 minutes trying to figure out what snow has to do with it. Not your fault, I’m just not hip with the drug lingo...and as I said I’m just dense. After I checked the lyrics page & saw the “jonesing” line a lightbulb went off & I enjoyed the song as a whole MUCH more. ;p Thought your musical hook was really strong. Well done, strong entry overall.
