This week's #JukeboxFridayNight theme was Chance. One of the songs I posted was "The Long Shot", and now it has been running through my head all day on a loop. At a surface level, I always liked it because it's about the fans of a chronically losing team, which resonated with me because my dad was a loyal fan of the perpetually frustrated Montreal Expos, and he passed on his fandom to me. But today, as this song kept running through my mind, it connected at a deeper level with our present political moment here in the US. The song says, "I'll take the long shot, if that's all there is... A long shot is better than none." There's no long shot longer than running as a black Democrat for a Senate seat in Mississippi. If that race had gone uncontested because, "c'mon, there's no chance", things would be very different today. If a long shot is all there is, TAKE THAT LONG SHOT! Now we are moving on, towards "What next?" What happens when the new Congress takes office in the new year? I'm hearing a lot of talk about caution, small tentative moves, lowering expectations. But I'm listening to today's musical earworm, telling me, "A long shot is better than none!" I want to see them take those long shots! Medicare for All is a long shot? C'mon, take that long shot! Disbanding ICE and rebuilding the Immigration Service from scratch, too complicated? Really, folks, take that long shot! If you don't try, you'll never win! https://mindly.social/@CommonSparrow/117608112600534350 #NewCongress #MedicareForAll #NoICE

For this week's jukebox music theme, Chance, here is "The Long Shot", written by Deb and Stu Hannah, sung by them as the folk duo Megson. "Was a critical game today, Well we got thumped seven to nowt, If there was a prize for the best own goal, I think we'd be in with a shout. Joe was miserable as sin, And Steve said he's gutted too, Cos there's sod all chance That we can stay up now, But I said any old chance'll do. I'll take the long shot, if that's all there is, And put it in a very safe place Where your doubt can't get to it, Cos once you're certain that all hope is gone, A long shot is better than none, A long shot is better than none." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bhw8nVg4zc #JukeboxFridayNight #Chance

It’s #JukeboxFridayNight and the theme is #Chance, so we took a chance and dropped this track just for the occasion. It’s not the final version, but we love it anyway. The song is called Out Of Time. It was improvised in a rehearsal, but with a structure and parts that Ash and Rohan had already worked out. For a change the lyrics were written later to match the vocal performance by Ash. “It came in black, but you bet on red. Yet another spin bad luck reprise.”
