Reckless has a way with lyrics that lets him deliver a heavy message without bludgeoning us over the head with it. If Climate Change Don’t Change Your Mind is a perfect example of this kind of song…smart, matter of fact and he gets straight to the point, in his usual catchy way!
We’re The Boomers is a wry ode to Reckless’ generation, as he looks at the legacy (“we left a mess and now we’re done”) and gets ready for the handoff to the next generation. “The Boomers lost their innocence in Vietnam” and proceeded to pollute, exploit and not quite save the world, as planned.
America, You’re Beautiful. There’s still plenty of hope, and in this upbeat tune, Reckless gives us the many reasons why. Listen to the man: love is all we need, indeed.
