I love this song, man. It’s a love song for real, with some attitude to it. The cover is a mix of Bobby Drake aka Iceman from the X-Men comics and Ricky Bobby from Talladega Nights. Hence, RickyBobbyDrake. I knew when I named the song exactly what art I wanted for the cover, and I think it turned out well.

You have to check out the lyric breakdown for me so you can hold this song as close as I do. I start off describing the energy of a night out with endless possibilities, and the transition into full love song energy is like a love-at-first-sight experience.

When I don’t have you, I miss you
The other half of my mission (I think I need ya)
I barely want other —-
Why you not lettin’ me finish? (I think I need ya)

Some love stories are higher energy than others. This is one of the exciting romances, very playful and not taking itself too seriously. This is a song of gratitude and affection.

The piano melodies are gentle, the bass line encourages stank face, the hook be hookin’, the verses paint a pretty picture, and the singing is heartfelt. All the pieces come together to form RickyBobbyDrake, and I would be hard-pressed to find someone who finishes the song without feeling warm and fuzzy.
