Greenskeepers - Vagabond
This post was written by Benjiposted in Dance Rock, chicago bands, greenskeepers |
If you’re at all familiar with Grand Theft Auto IV (i.e. the commercial), you may have heard a bombastic bass line with the lyrics “I came a long way to see you / now I wish you were dead”. Put aside the dark imagery, because this song was made for GTA IV and essentially sums up the plot line of the video game. Niko, a Serbian, is convinced by his brother to come to America for unfathomable riches and women. Niko soon finds out that it was all a lie and that he is a pawn in his brother’s schemes in America. And so, Chicago natives Greenskeepers aptly sing “another lookout for the amber waves of grain / green lady moved away and changed her name”. Really wonderful song, through and through.
Purchase Greenskeepers’ most recent album Polo Club. See CSV’s review here.
