Pick four songs from any band and you can tell a lot about their sound. This summer, I’m featuring #RockBlocks, four picks from bands across various genres. They might be wildly different from each other, but what binds them together is the fact that they’re all a part of my life soundtrack.

Break it Yourself is one of those albums that I can listen to over and over again. In fact, there have been times when I simply lost track of time and didn’t realize that I was listening to it on repeat. After long, busy, stressful weeks, it’s an album that I can get lost in and find some reprieve. And that’s especially the case with a slow-paced and unassuming track that helps bring up the rear, “Lusitania”.

One of Bird’s finest and most distinct whistling intros kicks off slow and dreamy. The song meanders into the night. Close your eyes and you might just see a ship slowly sinking on a moonlit ocean. But in this case, the Lusitania isn’t a boat, it’s your soul. And even while it sinks, the song seems to lift you up every single time.

“If you loosen liable lips, you keep sinking all my ships.”
