Passion Pit – Take A Walk
You’d think that, given its bouncy synth-pop vibes and commercial ubiquity, Passion Pit’s “Take A Walk” is an uplifting tune about perserverance. But you’d be, you know, wrong. It’s actually about the pitfalls and tragedies of capitalism, as it weaves the tale of a down on his luck businessman. Lead singer Michael Angelakos based each verse on a different member of his family.
