Song of the Day: 555 by Jimmy Eat World




This video is creepy and uncharacteristic for Jimmy Eat World. In his dystopian future getup, frontman Jim Adkins—known for his dulcet voice and monobrow—brings to mind the David Lynch-directed movie "Dune." 


Nonetheless there's something about "555," off the 2019 Jimmy Eat World album Surviving that keeps me coming back. I'm on a trajectory from being indifferent to the song to being on-repeat in love with it. For a more instantly catchy song and regular dudes-on-stage video, I suggest Jimmy Eat World's "Sweetness" as a chaser.
