Golden Reservoir by Who Boy
Detroit songsters Who Boy paint a longing picture with "Golden Reservoir." Lead singer Jack Thomas channels a passenger bemoaning the train he is doomed to ride forever.
The steady drum machine, coupled with syncopated lead guitar (Max Stutz) and bassline (Phoenix Eller), lay the framework of the train, chugging along without pause. The backing synthesizers and choir conjure imagery of an ever-fleeting landscape, obscured by the passenger window of the train's dining car.
Who Boy is a synth pop band, founded in 2017. "Golden Reservoir" is a follow-up to "Toy Plane," released in 2017.

Lyrics
Ten grasshoppers in a glass jump straight into my mouth
When the engine roars I will pour one more and feel my legs start to give out
I'm stuck between to sister cities in this dining car
Looking for the golden reservoir
I remember at the bowling alley my old man
Taught me everything I know about how to take care of myself and
It got lost in the translation now I'm stuck inside these doors
I'll be trapped inside this purgatory 'till I'm in the morgue
Ten grasshoppers in a glass jump straight into my mouth
When the engine roars I will pour one more and feel my legs start to give out
I'm stuck between to sister cities in this dining car
Looking for the golden reservoir
