Number 55: Lucky Soul - Struck Dumb

I dig Lucky Soul's vibe, in the style of '50s girl doo-wop bands. On the surface, this is similar to those old love songs, about being so enamored with someone you can't find the words to talk to them. That's the chorus. But looking at the verses, there's some real pain here, and not necessarily the good kind. "Don’t let your guard down, the magic don’t touch when you curl into a small ball and cry"? "silent survival has brilliant thoughts turning grey on arrival"? That's some pretty dark and depressing stuff, all over the ridiculously sweet backing of that old soul.
