Well, this is a fine example of how ambitious lyrics can stimulate you to dance. Milano based easycore / pop punk band 4th ‘N GOAL has released a new music video for their song “Pickles”, filmed and edited by one of the band’s vocalists, Sam Ionsio. The track comes from the band’s new EP Turn On The Light – Supreme Edition, a deluxe version of their last release. The band has signed with Sliptrick Records for the release that came out on November 27th. It was produced and mixed by Andrea Fusin (Upon THIS DAWNING, DAYLIGHT, LAST DAY BEFORE HOLIDAY) and Sam Pura (THE STORY SO FAR, STATE CHAMPS).

The group’s other vocalist Mocho says:
“This song fully reflects the spirit 4th ‘N Goal. We like to talk about everything in our songs and this time we decided to dedicate a track to the life of cucumbers. When we order a hamburger we all know that we will find a pickle inside, but it’s only after we ordered it that we tear it out. It’s a song about honesty and struggle and food, of course. The video is totally DIY. Sam did an awesome work, and we’re really excited about the result.”
Lyrics:
Morning lights, we run into each other
what are we going after? a stupid game of love and hunger
I thought you’d be honest while making your choice
it’s not my call… so where am I standing? where am I standing?Tell me why you tear me out
I’m safe inside my box and you cannot figure me out
and you tell yourself it’s for the best
tell me why you tear me out, you knew that I’d be here
but you still tell yourself it’s for the best…and it takes your breath away… when everything it’s like it should
on and on but gone is gone
‘cause you need it more when you’re caring less
‘cause you need it more when you’re caring less
I don’t see it getting betterTell me why you tear me out
I’m safe inside my box and you cannot figure me out
and you tell yourself it’s for the best
tell me why you tear me out, you knew that I’d be here
but you still tell yourself it’s for the bestkeep telling yourself it’s for the best
tell me why you tear me out
I’m safe inside my box and you cannot figure me out
and you tell yourself it’s for the best
tell me why you tear me out, you knew that I’d be here
but you still tell yourself it’s for the best
I guess it’s for your best
