My Sunday Song – “Bounce” by Emphatic

For My Sunday Song #456, we are talking “Bounce” by the Nebraska band Emphatic. The song is on their big label debut, ‘Damage’, which was released on July 12, 2011 and went to #23 on the US Hard Rock Charts. The first single was “Bounce” which went to #23 on the US Mainstream Rock Chart. I don’t remember when I first heard it, but when I did, I was hooked. It was one of those songs I would put on repeat as it had so much energy.

The song was written by lead guitarist, Justin McCain and the song itself is pretty basic rock & roll stuff. It is all about S.E.X. It is about two people that are extremely passionate about each other and they are longing to get together to do…well…to do the deed. He wants to slap her back tattoo, give her a kiss and give her a ride…whatever that might mean (nudge, nudge, wink, wink). Bounce, of course, is the word he chose to use to describe the deed and it completely and utterly works. Who doesn’t love a good “bounce” with the woman (or person) they love?

Musically, the song does truly “bounce”. I heavy, high octane track with blistering guitars from Justin, pounding drums by Josh Freese and some heavy bass work by Paul Bushnell. Vocals were handled by Patrick Wilson and he has that rock & roll grit that fits a song like this. The chorus is one major hook with the repetitive “Bounce, Bounce” and sucks you in. Such great pop-sensibilities with this song as well. Very radio friendly. A song that is as musically fun as those lyrics. A good time was had by all with this one.

Give the song a listen and let me know what you think. A song that is fun and about sex sometimes is all you really need. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a wonderful and Happy Sunday! Maybe you can have a little “Bounce” in your day!!

“Bounce”

Bounce, bounce, come on, baby
Bounce, bounce, come on, baby

I don’t care about a thing
As long as I get to you
‘Cause I like your back tatt
Smacking that is all that I wanna do to you

So come on over, baby girl
Let me give you a ride a ride
Let me kiss your sweet lips
You know that I’ll do you right all night

By the way, you’ve been looking at me
I can see that you want it come get it

Bounce, bounce, you know I love the way you
Bounce, bounce, so come on, baby, abuse me
You know I love the way you
You know I love the way you do me dirty

I like your black dress
With your hair a mess you’re the only one
‘Cause I think you’re hot
Show me what you got, don’t stop
Pop lock drop that, girl, you got that

By the way, you’ve been looking at me
I can see that you want it come get it

Bounce, bounce, you know I love the way you
Bounce, bounce, so come on, baby, abuse me
You know I love the way you
You know I love the way you do me, baby

The time has come to take it off
And give it up, let you never get enough, oh yeah

Bounce, bounce, come on, baby
Bounce, bounce, come on, baby
Bounce, bounce, come on, baby
I need to feel you bounce
I need to feel you bounce

Bounce, bounce, you know I love the way you
Bounce, bounce, so come on, baby, abuse me
You know I love the way you
You know I love the way you do me dirty

Bounce, bounce, you know I love the way you
Bounce, bounce, so come on, baby, abuse me
You know I love the way you
You know I love the way you do me dirty
