Rev’s DJ Pick of the Week is “Spaceman In Tulsa” by Counting Crows!
The 1990s California rock band is back with a brand-new single! “Spaceman in Tulsa” serves as the first release from their upcoming album, BUTTER MIRACLE, THE COMPLETE SUITES, set to drop this May. This new track stays true to the nostalgic sound that Counting Crows is known for, while also offering a sneak peek into what fans can expect from the new album.
“Spaceman In Tulsa” is an upbeat tune that tells the tale of artistry. It features the same soulful, cinematic elements the band is known for, which pull listeners right into the story. It documents the ways music morphs and changes an individual. It tells the story of separate artists who have used music to change their lives trajectory. “I’m a painkiller, and I’m a caterpillar / They can’t break you, man (Yeah, they can’t break you apart) / Another well-nigh butterfly found on a bus out of town.” Music, in this tune is compared to metamorphosis, and much like the process of transformation, takes a person and over time, creates an entirely new version of them. This change is what allows each character in the song to find their escape, their ticket to a new life. It takes an individual, and in time, creates an entirely different person. It is what allowed each character in the to find their ticket to a new life and created who it is they morphed into.
