Black Leather Jacket

by Sorry Gilberto

/

about

The second single of Sorry Gilberto’s fifth record (spring 2022) is called „Black Leather Jacket“ and it's not your average pop-song with its length of 6:19 minutes.
But an homage to the feeling of otherness between pride and alienation and to the desire for being part of some kind of subculture needs time to develop. And it also needs a wall of sound that dissolves the ambiguity of those thoughts. Here's to guitars and to Velvet Underground!

lyrics

Black leather jacket
Hot sunny day
Streets are all empty
Nothing to say

Dead cars in silence
All stores shut down
Things you can look at
By walking around

Wowwowwow...

Nightmares and daydreams
Gave birth to a child
Of boredom gone heavy
And tv's gone wild

It's calm and it's quiet
It's almost too much
A force is awakening
Like in movies and such

Wowwowwow...

Black leather jacket
Curtains kept close
Every step's like
I'm not one of those

Blue sky's the limit
But where does it start
Black leather jacket
Straight from the heart

Wowwowwow...
