Sloan: Everything You've Done Wrong


It's Friday and alas, still no sun. But who cares, we have Sloan! Those masters of pop rock construction have an uncanny smile inducing ability . . . what is it about those Canadians? Ah, America's hat has been great for smiles and laughs: Mike Myers, Jim Carrey, Pictionary, dental mirrors, those funny accents and of course, Sloan. 

Horn intro, layered vocals and jangly guitar goodness. It's all there in "Everything You've Done Wrong," seemingly a song about redemption . . . and who doesn't need a little redemption? You'll find the song off the fantastic One Chord to Another, the band's third album released in 1996. "Do your time and then come home for good," easy enough to apply to your day, whether you're working, in traffic, locked up, whatever, do your time, come home for good and you'll surely have somebody or something waiting for you! So what if it's just a stack of bills, somebody took the time to send them to you!
