Am I the only one of thinks of Tarantino's Pulp Fiction when listening to "Read'em and Weep" by The Black Keys?
The song is taken from their latest and twelfth album, Ohio Players, which bears in the title a clear reference to the band's hometown, Akron, Ohio.
The album is the result of a collaboration between band mates Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney with various friends and colleagues, like Dan “The Automator” Nakamura, Beck, Noel Gallagher, Greg Kurstin, and others.
This resulted in a diverse kaleidoscope of sounds, which is evident in "Read'em and Weep".
The song kicks off with some western vibes sprouting for nearly a minute.
That quickly and seamlessly blends into "surf-rock vibes, which features a solo that’s an obvious Dick Dale reference (source: clevelandmagazine.com)".
If you are looking for meaty guitar riffs, reminding a bit of "El Camino", then this is the song for you.
Lyrics
All of my words are echoes
I'm holding on, you let go
Follow the sound of my heart
You know it's true, you can't undo
What's done in the dark
[Chorus]
Read 'em and weep
Revenge is sweet
The secrets you keep
Will bury you deep
Deeper than sleep
Read 'em and weep
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
It's only right to wonder
What sort of spell I'm under
Your cheating game is an art
You know it's true, you can't undo
What's done in the dark
[Chorus]
Read 'em and weep
Revenge is sweet
The secrets you keep
Will bury you deep
Deeper than sleep
Read 'em and weep
