“Care for another Martini? I could wet my whistle…Brandy Sir?” Then the first cord is struck. A m
an pours out his heart to the bartender; all the while you’re just connecting to the plot with your own life’s problems. Rehab’s Bartender was fist introduced to me my freshman year in high school and I haven’t stopped listening since (see band members in figure 1). When I came to college I soon realized my hometown wasn’t the only place to discover its beauty. I’ve yet to attend a party without this song being played, as the masses sing along with it.It truly is a party favorite. The song starts and ends with an acoustic sound, along with rap in the in between, the mix is pulled off skillfully. It mixes a little bit of everything thus allowing anyone to enjoy it. The rhythm itself is reason alone to have this song on repeat. As soon as the first guitar’s beat comes out of the speakers, your head just starts to nod. The song ends with the fade out of “Laaa laaaa la laa la la laaaa laaa laaa la la la laaaa.” Not only do people listen to the beat, they can’t help but sing along.
The lyrics are a big thing to take into consideration. The beating of the woman isn’t my point of emphasis but the concept is. Every guy has done something he knew to be wrong and attempted to drown his soul in misery. Everyone has had their heart broken and this song shows that but not in the Back Street Boys fashion. This song has a plot about a man’s life that is in absolute ruins: poor, no girl, and is going to jail. Any guy, at one time or another, thinks their life is the exact same as this man’s, and can relate to this song on many different levels. Any listener can take their current problem, swop out the beating of the woman and imagine it’s themselves sitting there talking to the bartender. I will listen to this song tonight, tomorrow, and for years to come.
