Drug Store Romeos “What’s On Your Mind”
Sarah Downey has a soft and delicate voice ideally suited to the dreamy psychedelic music she makes with Drug Store Romeos but that quality in her voice conveys an intense thoughtfulness rather than shyness or a dissociated daze, as is common with this sort of indie rock. “What’s On Your Mind” is an earnest attempt at communication with someone who’s shut down. It’s not a confrontation, and it’s not coming from a place of “are you mad at me?” It’s just an attempt to connect and as much is said in her lyrics as in the instrumental parts, which gradually shifts from spacey parts implying a bit of distance to warmer tones of gentle affection.
