Beatnik writesThe Songs That Get You Through: “Store” by Carly Rae Jepsen

These are obviously strange times we are living in, so we asked some of our CHIRP volunteers to tell us about a particular song they like to listen to when things are tough. We're calling it, "The Songs That Get You Through."

From CHIRP DJ Bobby Evers:

The premise of "Store" very silly and convoluted. The narrator wants to leave their partner and is using the excuse, "I'm just going to the store," and then never come back (like a 50's dad saying he's going out for a pack of smokes). She's just not good at goodbyes! She can't talk about it! It is completely ridiculous BUT I LOVE IT. I also feel like "the store" is the only place I'm going to these days. Am I going to the office? Am I going to parties? Am I getting on a crowded subway? No. "I'm just going to the store, to the store, I'm just going to the store. You might not see me anymore anymore, I'm just going to the store."
