I first heard of the band Rainbow Kitten Surprise a few years ago and really liked their music. One of my favorite songs from them is "Cocaine Jesus." I had the pleasure of hearing them live a little over a year ago in New Orleans at the festival, Voodoo Music + Arts. They put on an amazing show with not only a great incorporation of lights and pyro but all of the different instruments they played as well. They have such a great energy they carry on stage and hearing them perform this song live was so exhilarating.
While the song title may be a little controversial to some, the song is super catchy and has a unique sound to it. I always like when music is a little more challenging to me to understand the story behind it and this was one of those songs for me.
Some of my favorite lyrics from this particular song are :
"When you find an old picture of us And you clear away the dust I hope you miss me sometimes When you see a frame that reminds you of me Would you remember the times Oh the times that we believed In a Cocaine Jesus in a black four-seater Got a man, don't need him, but you wait Call me when you want, or just call me when you need it If you only ever need it for the day High won't hold, won't hold, and I have no more Than all you left of me I have, I have, I have no more Than all you leave "
