this tonality, doesn't disagree
ought to be chromatically pleasing me.
all that i want is some good loving musical thoughts.

use what you got, not what you're missing.
In the opening verse of Mild High Club's "Skiptracing", the singer questions whether the listener can perceive the beauty in harmonies, and whether they’re open to experiencing music in a way that allows them the freedom to let go of their worries. The singer notes that the tonality of the song is perfectly agreeable to their ears, and they appreciate the chromaticism that makes it so pleasing. They admit that they seek the comfort of musical thoughts that give them a sense of wholeness, and they invite the listener to learn music history with them. The singer suggests that they pull out an album from their collection and share it with this person, noting that the joy of music is a mystery to some but it can be unlocked with just one coin in the jukebox. The song concludes with a guitar solo repeating the melody from the earlier verses, and the singer restates that all they want is good, thoughtful musical pop.
It’s clear from the lyrics that “Skiptracing” is a tribute to the power of music and its ability to help people connect with each other in a deeper way. The song underscores the importance of living in the moment and finding joy despite life’s difficulties through the beauty of music. The singer wants the listener to be open to the possibilities of pop music and to find joy in what they already have access to, rather than fixating on what they lack.
