Prompt: "A song that at least partially takes place on a roof"
Selected by Nate
"Someone Else's Dream"
Restorations
Restorations, 2024
Hey, look, it’s the fuckin' record of the year! The roof lyric is somewhat suspect here—"In a see-through umbrella / On the roof of the seventeenth floor / You're still a kid to the grown-ups / And you're still a cop to the kids"—but you get what you pay for on these lyric-specific prompts, and bloggin' don’t cost a thing except time. First half of that lyric bar is nonsense, but the second half is more or less the aging punk manifesto condensed into its most concise form. Wherever Restorations are in your personal ranking of the Boss-inspired punk bands, move 'em up higher.
