The first song I’m going to share is “Get Better” by Mates of States. Mates of State are a great two piece indie rock band from Lawrence, Kansas. “Get Better” is poppy but has great lyrics and it just buries itself in your head.

Here is the official video:

Lyrics:

Forget your politics for a while
Let the color schemes arrive

Come on board, it’s a curious site
Absorbing sound that’s never been right
Never ahead of, never behind it
Occasionally guarded, just keeps us surrounded
It’s luck

Everything’s gonna get lighter, even if it never gets better

I propose a less serious boat
Don’t mistake for a party of jokes
You are never ahead of, never behind us
Floating in circles, there’s more to remind them of less

Everything’s gonna get lighter, even if it never gets better

Forget your politics for a while
Let the color schemes arrive

Download the song from iTunes or Amazon and support the artist.
