Song of the Day #2,163: ‘It’s Cool’ – Kevin Drew

kevin_drewI’m not sure where I read about Kevin Drew or the song ‘It’s Cool.’ Probably Rolling Stone. All I know is this is the first song in a long, long time that I haven’t been able to locate on YouTube.

Drew is a founding member of the Canadian band Broken Social Scene, which has been around for 15 years. He has released two solo albums, including this year’s Darlings.

‘It’s Cool’ is a simple, delicate song with a vibe I generally enjoy. It’s a bit too thin, though — it might just float away.

I found there lyrics on several sites across the web but I suspect they’re incorrect. Drew is a bit of a mumbler so it’s hard to tell.

In a land of a woman’s dream
Can we lie down with the surface scenes
Reach our hand down below her waist
And give thanks and prayers for all it takes

In the sky failed emergency
Does the car form the golden grief
And by skin that believes its late
To be loved is this lonely way

But IT’S COOL
Yeah, IT’S COOL

All the fingernails are fair
Will the cloud down and believe it still
And I hope to connect the knees
Will we try out before we bleed

But IT’S COOL
Yeah, IT’S COOL
IT’S COOL
Yeah, IT’S COOL

Got my exist inside of my mouth
I got my exist inside
I got my exist inside of my mouth
With my balls and my beams and my bits
I got my exist inside of my mouth
I got my exist inside
I got my exist inside of my mouth
With my balls and my beams and my bits

But IT’S COOL
Yeah, IT’S COOL
SO COOL
Yeah, IT’S COOL

    Not bad. This sounds like Jack Johnson doing Pink Floyd. And, is it just me, or does the guy look a little like Paul Rudd?
