First the lights, then the collar goes up, and the wind begins to blow
Turn your back on a pay-you-back, last call
First the glass, then the leaves that pass, then comes the snow
Ain't much to rake anyway in the fall

…”I Will Dare” is a tonic, a sheer mood elevator: three minutes and 19 seconds of pharmaceutically pure serotonin injected into the listener’s ear…

Brilliance from Elizabeth Nelson as usual📚⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thanks, Melanie @powerpop.bsky.social !
A vintage-style comic book illustration featuring the bold text "POWER POP!" in large yellow and red letters at the top against a blue background with radiating speed lines. The center shows a red and yellow electric guitar surrounded by white explosive clouds and yellow lightning bolts. Comic-style sound effect words are scattered throughout: "ZAP!" in red at the top left, "KAPOW!" in black, "CRUNCH!" in red at the right, and "MELODY!" in blue at the bottom right. Black musical notes float around the composition. The overall design mimics classic pop art and comic book aesthetics with bold outlines, halftone dot patterns, and dynamic action lines emanating from the center.

“Grounded” by Soul Asylum

What once seemed like dying
Soon turned into flying
So you settle for trying
And you wish you were grounded
