Ball of Wax 35 Songs: James Smith – “Every Time I Fall in Love It Turns Out Bad”

Webelos front man James Smith brings us a lo-fi, poppy little sad sack of a tune with a fairly self-explanatory title. It might not be the kind of song that first comes to mind when one thinks of love songs, but the “unlucky in love” genre is certainly a rich lyrical vein to mine, and you can’t say it’s not about love. The upbeat, slapback-reverbed guitar and oohs and ahhs provide the perfect counterpoint to Smith’s cleverly phrased catalog of amorous woes. While on the one hand you feel bad for the guy, you kind of want his hard times to continue so he’ll keep writing gems like this one.
