Sunday April 18, 2021 “Hypotheticals” Lake Street Dive

This is a cool, intelligent, pop, motown, jazz influenced sound.

 Formed in 2004 by students and friends at the New England School of Music, Lake Street Dive is comprised of Rachael Price, vocals, guitar; Mike "McDuck" Olson, trumpet, guitar, piano, organ; Bridget Kearney, upright bass, electric bass, piano; Mike Calabrese, drums, organ; and Akie Bermiss, keyboards, organ.

 Before current situations, Lake Street Dive was one of the hardest touring bands in the business. As an example in September and October 2011 they traveled to 13 states and played in 22 venues.

 When asked to describe their sound drummer Mike Calabrese said, “We want it to sound like the Beatles and Motown had a party together” and one critic suggested that they sound like “...Motown meets the Brill Building with a jazzy, soulful, woulda-been Sixties chart toppers.”

Rachael Price was part of the Jefferson Airplane 50th Anniversary Tour in 2015, she sang all of Grace Slick’s vocals, who apparently has retired.

Stay safe and well...and give the video .38 seconds before the band really gets into it.

Obviously, we're at the beginning of something

I don't expect you to know how it's gonna go

But I believe we might be onto something

And I just thought maybe you should know

I've been playing out a lot of hypotheticals in my mind

I've been writing your name down next to mine

Been imagining all the things you and I could do

I've seen all the possibilities in my dreams

You're alone when you should be livin' next to me

Baby, let's not wait and see

Immediate action is unnecessary

It's a fatal attraction, it's a little scary

But I got a plan of attack

And I'll get us there someday soon, I know it

I got a Plan A, and I got a Plan B

And if it's absolutely necessary, we'll go to Plan C

Whatever I gotta do to be with you

I've been playing out a lot of hypotheticals in my mind

I've been writing your name down next to mine

Been imagining all the things you and I could do

I've seen all the posibilities in my dreams

You're alone when you should be livin' next to me

Baby, let's not wait and see

Nobody can see into the future

Even the weatherman gets caught in the rain sometimes

But I see something in you that I've never seen before

And I can't be sure, no, maybe not

But I think it's worth a shot

Hypothtically, yes

Theoretically, forever

We'll see what happens

But I hope we will never be apart

Hypothetically, yes

Theoretically, forever

We'll see what happens

But I hope we will never be apart

Oh, hypothetically, yes

Theoretically, forever

We'll see what happens

But I hope we will never be apart

Oh, hypothetically, yes

Theoretically, forever

We'll see what happens

But I hope we will never be apart

I've been playing out a lot of hypotheticals in my mind

(Playing out a lot of hypotheticals)

I've been writing your name down next to mine

(I've been writing your name down next to mine)

Been imagining all the things you and I could do

I've seen all the possibilities in my dreams (all the possibilities)

You're alone when you should be livin' next to me (oh, yeah)

Baby, let's not wait and see
