Kentucky natives' My Morning Jacket have beeen enjoying basking in the limelight of primetime television as of late. Showing up on such shows as The Vampire Diaries, it makes sense that Jim James & Co. would want to stay up even later, skip the sappy romance dialouge and get straight to rocking out late-night audiences. Case in point? They just showcased a couple songs from their new hit album Circuital on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night.
MMJ performed 'Outta My System' which very ironically preaches the pitfalls of drugs with such notions as smoking will land you in prison or force you to steal cars. Although if Pizza Hut closes in fifteen minutes, what other choice do you have?!
Their second choice 'First Light' is slightly more poignant and existential despite such simplistic lyrics. It deals more with the nature of first experiences and looking back through life from various perspectives while trying to find meaning and purpose. Pretty deep stuff.
Have a look and a listen below:
