Made up of the brother and sister duo Sarah and Jacob Desmarais along with Sneeze guitarist Derek Desharnais, Fucko excels at churning out the kind of fuzzed up riffs that we love bands like The Breeders and That Dog for and Sarah’s vocals are as to the point as they are melodic. Think grunge-pop meets alt-rock that was beamed up straight from the 90ies without sounding all nostalgic about it.
Wishful Thinking
Fucko Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll think about the times I spent all my time without you
And now you say I'm already needed
I just need some luck, it doesn't have to be good
It's hard to sleep sometimes
Now you're looking back at the time we first had spoken
Now I say you're already needed
You don't need no luck
You don't have to be no good
It's hard to sleep sometimes
In the song "Wishful Thinking," Fucko sings about the conflicting feelings that arise after a romantic relationship has ended. The first verse delves into the internal struggle of trying to make sense of why the relationship ended and instead redirects the focus onto the past, addressing the times spent without the significant other. By doing so, the singer attempts to lessen the emotional pain and move on from the relationship. The chorus, which repeats throughout the song, expresses the idea that luck, regardless of whether it is good or bad, is needed to move on.
The second verse refers to the initial attraction between the two individuals and how, despite the heartbreak, the memory remains. The singer then declares that the former partner is needed but not necessarily in need of luck or even goodness. The song concludes with the recurring lyric that it's hard to sleep sometimes, highlighting the lingering emotions after a relationship has ended.
