new single is totaly different from the 1st ...
slow, harmonic singing, reduced instrumentation
"Jansport Backpack"
JanSport Backpack
She wears a JanSport Backpack
JanSport Backpack
She wears a JanSport Backpack
Oh why, do you keep walking away?
Then why, do you always treat me this way?
JanSport Backpack
She wears a JanSport Backpack
JanSport Backpack
She wears a JanSport Backpack
We're face to face
We're toe to toe
We're eye to eye
You're turning slow
Strap on your pack
Now fully turned
I feel a hint
I will be burned
You walk away
Open the door
Enter the night
What is this for?
Out then you go
I know not where
I know not why
Not just for air
I start to trail
But you walk fast
All of the girls
Seen from behind
JanSport Backpack
They wear a JanSport Backpack
JanSport Backpack
They wear a JanSport Backpack
Oh why, I try my best every day
Oh why, oh why, oh why
Please put your JanSport away
Oh why, do you keep turning away?
Oh why, I try my best every day
Then late each night
Silent return
Take off your pack
Hard to discern
We all need time
Time to ourselves
But don't we owe
Someone in Hell?
Some little phrase
"I will be back"
Something like that
And why the pack?
It's not my place
To eye and pry
Into your pack
Tempted to try
JanSport Backpack
She wears a JanSport Backpack
JanSport Backpack
She wears a JanSport Backpack
And why, do you keep walking away?
And why, oh why, oh why
Do you always treat me this way?
JanSport Backpack
JanSport Backpack
Walking away
Walking away
Walking away
Walking away |

Do the Backpack brand advertise on TV then?. Could be some sort of tie in . Not many bands approaching the subject of Hiking to the best of my knowledge.

| JanSport ought to use this in ads (and compensate Sparks fairly) whether or not that was planned from the start... another reason to look forward to MAD! |

I said on another post the brand name was quite unknown to me.
Is the new back-pack in the merch section by Jan Sports?? |

It looks exactly like a JanSport backpack, but I don't know if the Sparks one is made by JanSport. Here is a link to a video review of 3 JanSport backpacks. You will see that the one on the left looks like the one Sparks are selling BUT ONLY ON THE BRITISH SITE!!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kJ8G51g43o

This song has become an earworm. I like it a lot. Does anyone have any thoughts about the meaning of this line:
"But don't we owe
Someone in Hell?"
Is that an expression that I don't know?

it`s almost acapella with a somewhat stylized accordeon sound
slightly sardonic ... and sort of wonderful |

I think the thought continues into the next lines. To flesh it out a little more, it's like "Don't we owe someone who is in hell some little phrase like 'I will be back' or something like that?" Basically, if someone is in hell (i.e. miserable), don't we owe them some words that would make them feel better? |

Yes, I think you are absolutely right. I don't know why my brain just stopped at the end of the line and did not continue forward. But I'm getting old.
