about
Acclaimed Swedish singer-songwriter I'm Kingfisher, real name Thomas Jonsson, returns with new single "Peer Pressure". "Peer Pressure" is a first taste from his upcoming fifth full-length under the I'm Kingfisher moniker following a series of records that have been praised by ex NPR, Uncut, KEXP, Clash and more.
Joined by Tom Waits collaborator Bebe Risenfors and featuring guest vocals from Vilma Flood, "Peer Pressure" finds Jonsson expanding his soundscape while honing his songwriting.
lyrics
Come on, did you do your duty?
I just wanted to be better than anyone.
Life's unfair to pedestrians.
Rolling down lovers' lane,
Picking a route with my eyes closed.
I chose life but I ended up in a sea of strings,
my armed resistance got a different goal.
I didn't leave the house for the whole of April once.
I don't know if you can rely on me,
I'm tripping on all I miss the most.
Take it on, this time I think I won't.
Hey, I'm watching you when you're walking
sad and alone. (Is it over now?)
When it's getting hard to take
the sheer peer pressure.
Don't you know it's the second coming?
Won't you, did you, do your duty?
Whatever comes hereafter I wouldn't know.
Turn me on, this time I think I won't.
Hey, I'm watching you when you're walking
sad and alone. When it's getting hard to take
the sheer peer pressure.
I'm watching you, it's a fight you
cannot win. It's getting so hard to take
the sheer peer pressure.
Hey, I'm watching you when you're walking
sad and alone. You were the love of my life,
but what kind of life was that?

Hearing this was like discovering Desire, or London Calling for the first time. Derivative yet original, the songs are immediate and the melodies will get stuck in your ear for days. tideracer
