Personally their most impactful single to date – a stylish and catchy rock and roll anthem, with an underlying conceptual depth that’s poignant and powerful. DownTown Mystic top off a sincere and stylish repertoire, with the uplifting and confrontational new gem of a hit Somebody’s Always Doin’ Something 2 Somebody.
Confronting by nature, provocative and purposeful, the song’s title alone intrigues and inspires deeper thought, and the song follows on accordingly. However, it’s a slick and impressively subtle expression. The verses feature short lines, snappy refrains, and that hook section – as long as it is, it provides a brilliant earworm of a crescendo repeatedly throughout.
Directly referencing the story of Adam & Eve, Somebody’s Always Doin’ Something 2 Somebody lyrically spans throughout the ages, reflecting on both conformism and rebellion, the issue of blame, the looping stories of sin and separation across history. It’s all subtle though, a catchy rock and roll track lighting up the space, with an instrumental version also available – to showcase just how established and united DownTown Mystic are as a modern band.
With honky-tonk keys and soaring electric guitars, warming bass, catchy riffs, and the live crash of drums, Somebody’s Always Doin’ Something 2 Somebody is both simple and complex, and sets an impressive and likeable vibe from the moment you press play.
“I think I would want people to just look at the obvious truth we all see every day. I used the “war of the sexes” as an excuse to get to the bigger picture. Somebody is always doing something to somebody. It’s as old as the Bible and everybody knows it. I made it tongue-in-cheek to make it easier to digest. Everyone has experienced it and knows what it is.” – DownTown Mystic.
