This is the sound of waking up with a great cup of coffee and knowing you don’t need to work today. This is the sound of your first kiss with that girl or guy you never thought you had a chance in hell with. This is the sound of you free-falling before the parachute opens. This is the sound of your asshole boss finally getting fired. This is the sound of your kids laughing as you throw them in the air. This is the sound of your doctor telling you the cancer is gone. This is the sound of you standing up for something you believe in, even when no one else gets it. This is the sound of hundreds of fans around you as your favorite band steps out onto the stage, the feedback hums, and the first guitar chord explodes. This is the sound of awesome.

Come On! is on The Hives’ 2012 album Lex Hives. Click on the cover, check it out, and play it LOUD.
