This feels like an instant classic: I love the sound of double bass, clean electric guitar, a natural drum groove, and a dirty slide guitar, jamming together. It’s my sweet spot, and it might be yours too.

With the recent rise of bands like Penny & Sparrow, this heartfelt recipe for shaking your moneymaker is sure to resonate with a broad folk-loving audience. It has that fun, rootsy groove, a casual cadence, and the requisite lovers’ ultimatum.

Now with a music video, the party-vibe from the band-feel of The Meaning offsets the meditative nature of the visual story from the video, and we are left with a unique and enigmatic look at recreational brinksmanship, over an artistic framework that combines literalism with an interpretive symbolism and a stylistic nod to Shel Silverstein.

Let’s get down to the meaning
Let’s get down ‘til we’re on the floor
