1) The American country duo consisting of Katie Crutchfield of Waxahatchee and Jess Williamson. The duo released "I Walked With You a Ways" in 2022.
2) Miami, FL-based brainchild of Mike McGinnis. Born and raised outside of Chicago, McGinnis began making his own music when he moved to Miami to sleep on couches and work as a studio rat. Spending endless late nights employing a healthy amount of bourbon and cycling through a few albums worth of songs, the album PLAINS was born. On this eponymous debut record, McGinnis molds a sound and a style that is equally indebted to a love of blue-collar punk and rock bands as much as the technical world and history of audio engineering. There’s a studio polish to these tracks with a fringe of grunge at the edges. Lead single “Innovator” barrels in with a chunky kick to the ground, while faded synths and chorused guitars linger in the background. The track exemplifies the PLAINS sound with each instrument fuzzed out, while leaving plenty of air to breathe. PLAINS is augmented live by Jorge Rubiera on drums, Max Johnston on bass and Jorge Gonzalez Graupera on guitar, all staples of the Miami music scene.
3) Melbourne band equally influenced by hardcore, jazz, and post-rock.
4) A New Zealand electronic improvising group formed in 2004 in Auckland byTim Coster, Rosy Parlane, Richard Francis, Mark Sadgrove, Paul Winstanley and Clinton Watkins. They released a 3" CDR, Underground, on Claudia Records documenting a performance at Auckland's Underground Bar supporting Birchville Cat Motel in 2006.
5) An American folk quintet from Portland, Maine comprised of members of Seekonk, South China, and Seymour.
Beautiful three part harmonies throughout, spacey electro country-folk vibe.
6) Alabama based artist, Travis Swinford.
7) One-man fastcore band, ex-Kasatka, Belgium.
All I Want
Plains Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Standing in the street with your tits out
Bonnie, I want you
Bonnie, I want you
What you gonna do when the sun comes up?
Trying to get a ride with the fuck-ups
Bonnie, I want you
Bonnie, I want you
Once you know the way out
It's even harder to stay out
Once you know the things they're saying
You know all of the games they're playing
Only thing that's true
Is Bonnie, I want you
What you gonna do when the buzz wears off
And you wake up in the corner with your clothes off
Bonnie, I want you
Bonnie, I want you
What you gonna do when the truth sets in?
Nobody's around to sink your teeth in
Bonnie, I want you
Bonnie, I want you
Once you know the way out
It's even harder to stay out
Once you know the things they're saying
You know all of the games they're playing
Only thing that's true
Is Bonnie, I want you
One, two, three, the radio's playing
Four, five, six, the chemical's fading
Seven, eight, nine, ten, wanna see you again
One, two, three, the radio's playing
Four, five, six, the chemical's fading
Seven, eight, nine, ten, wanna see you again
What you gonna do when the drugs run out?
Standing in the street with your tits out
Bonnie, I want you
Bonnie, I want you
What you gonna do when the sun comes up
Trying to get a ride with the fuck-ups
Bonnie, I want you
Bonnie, I want you
Once you know the way out
It's even harder to stay out
Once you know the things they're saying
You know all of the games they're playing
Only thing that's true
Is Bonnie, I want you
One, two, three, the radio's playing
Four, five, six, the chemical's fading
Seven, eight, nine, ten, wanna see you again
One, two, three, the radio's playing
Four, five, six, the chemical's fading
Seven, eight, nine, ten, wanna see you again
I wanna see you again
I wanna see you again
I wanna see you again
The song 'All I Want' by the Canadian indie rock band, Plains, could be interpreted in different ways. Some say that it is about addiction and how it affects our relationships and lives, while others claim that it is about longing for someone. Either way, the song evokes a feeling of yearning and confusion.
The opening lines capture the desperation of someone whose drugs are running out, even as they are standing in the street in a state of undress, and calling out to Bonnie, which could represent the object of their desires or maybe a representation of their addiction. Throughout the song, the lyrics describe the different stages of addiction, where a person becomes entangled, confused and a slave to their cravings. The second verse expresses the difficulty of getting out of addiction and the knowledge of how difficult it is to leave. Once you experience the high, it's hard to walk away from the dependence.
The chorus may be seen as the climax of the song, where the only truth that this person knows is that they want Bonnie. The repetition of the name Bonnie seems to suggest that addiction is their Bonnie, their escape, their everything. They are willing to do anything to get their fix, even if it means standing in the street with no clothes on, waiting for the drugs to come.
Overall, the song explores the dark realities of addiction, lack of self-control and the harsh consequences that follow.

This is a perfect example of why you should NEVER about who owns the sidewalk. When someone claims ownership, simply say that it’s a public sidewalk or a public right of way.
