Not to be confused with a gaggle of musical ‘cobra chickens’, Geese teases your Monday morning with “Cobra”.
There’s a push-and-pull in the lyrics, shifting between enamourment and resistance. Once entranced, like a snake that’s been charmed, frontman Cameron Winter professes, “Baby, let me wash your feet forever. Baby, you can stay at my house forever and ever.” That captivation has a bite that quickly sours. Some snakes may be charmed, but his is not. “You can make the cobras dance, but not me.” The dichotomized lyrics are all set against an upbeat, jangling tune reminiscent of Milky Chance meets Clap Your Hands Say Yeah.
A certifiable banger, Geese dances away with your PEAK Song of the Week with “Cobra”.
