Blues rock funk heartbreak gone right - "Tighten Up" The Black Keys

"Tighten Up" The Black Keys

So many things to say here. This is how you make blues rock funky and relatable and enjoyable and edible.

The breakdown at 3:00 mins makes my friend Raf wiggle his body all around.

How you'll feel: Filled up. I feel this song in my soul. That's right, I said it.

When to play it: Living room dance party with your friends while drinking beers; air guitar contest; if you feel like tapping your food and bobbing your head with your eyes closed like you've never tapped and bobbed sightless before.

Side note: Did you see that thing I wrote about my soul? This is from the latest Black Key's album which rocks in general (pictured here). Also, there are 2 videos out there - the official one that I've posted here and another one with a puppet TRex, and honestly, both of these videos ruin the song for a first listen, because they're distracting from the music. I highly recommend that you first try to just LISTEN and NOT watch the video. Then watch the video; it's really cute.

"Living just to keep going, going just to be sane," sing it man, sing it.
