Sunday November 1, 2020 “Come for Me” Sunflower Bean

Let’s lighten up a bit after all that Halloween stuff with this pop gem from indie group Sunflower Bean.  A palate cleanser so to speak.

This New York based trio was described by NYTimes rock critic Jon Pareles as a band ’... whose music suggests what might have happened if psychedelia had emerged after punk and the Police rather than before." Maybe even a little Prince, lyrically and musically.

The band was founded by Nick Kivlen and Jacob Faber when they were students at North Shore High School and writing and playing in Faber’s parents basement.  Singer and bass player, and sometime model for brands like H&M and Diesel, Julia Cummings was coming out of the band Supercute! as they dissolved and connected with Faber and Kivlek and the lineup was complete.

“Come for Me” according to Cummings was "Inspired by inner strength, power, and sexual freedom." and by listening to a lot of Cardi B. Lyrically it is about as straightforward as it sounds.  It is included on their very interesting 2019 album/CD King of Dudes. 

Stay safe and well...and yes this does get played on the radio.

I'm leaning towards a manly solution

You know this time, you've gone too far

If you got the balls to meet me in the alley

When I hit, I hit hard

Yeah, hard for you, baby

Hard for you, baby

Just like your favorite movie star

Come for me, baby

Come for me, baby

If you come, I'll know where you are, yeah

Do you really wanna come for me?

Do you, do you, do you, do you?

You know I got all night (Ooh)

Do you really wanna waste my time?

Do you, do you, do you, do you?

If you do, then do it right

I'm looking for some handsome destruction

Just take me to your car

I felt the jewelry of a man disillusioned

As I wished upon his star

Hard for you, baby

Hard for you, baby

Just like you wish you were

Come for me, baby

Come for me, baby

I'm in love with vacant hearts

Do you really wanna come for me?

Do you, do you, do you, do you?

You know I got all night

Do you really wanna waste my time?

Do you, do you, do you, do you?

If you do, then do it right

Do you really wanna come for me?

Do you, do you, do you, do you?

You know I got all night (Ooh)

Do you really wanna waste my time?

Do you, do you, do you, do you?

If you do, then do it right

Do you really wanna come for me?

You know I got all night

Do you really wanna waste my time?

If you do, then do it right

Do you really wanna come for me?

Do you, do you, do you, do you?

You know I got all night (Ooh)

Do you really wanna waste my time?

Do you, do you, do you, do you?

If you do, then do it right

Do you really wanna come for me?

Do you, do you, do you, do you?

You know I got all night
