Song Review: “King of Mediocrity” by Mo Klé | A Rock Discovery

Music Review:
“Το King of Mediocrity αγκαλιάζει την ελαφρότητα χωρίς ενοχές, χτίζοντας μια μελωδία που μοιάζει αποφασισμένη να προσφέρει τον καλύτερό της εαυτό μέσα από την απλότητα. Τα παιχνιδιάρικα, ζεστά φωνητικά λειτουργούν σχεδόν παρηγορητικά, μεταδίδοντας μια αίσθηση καθημερινής αισιοδοξίας που δεν προσποιείται βάθος, αλλά το υπονοεί. Ο ρυθμός κινείται με θετική ενέργεια και χαλαρή αυτοπεποίθηση, δημιουργώντας ένα κομμάτι που δεν προσπαθεί να εντυπωσιάσει, αλλά να αποσυμπιέσει, διώχνοντας τις μικρές ανησυχίες της ημέρας.”

Lyrics of Mo Klé – King of Mediocrity
René Grünenfelder
Verse
I am the King of Mediocrity
I’m never better than the ordinary
Like the leader of a small town band
Three chords and a shaking hand
The wine bottle on your kitchen shelf
To good to throw but too bad to drink for yourself
Half-wrapped in yesterday’s paper
A last-minute gift for your neighbour
Chorus
Why can’t you love me when I am wrong and incomplete
I am the King of Mediocrity
If I were king of a democracy
And I had everybody vote for me
Oh I tell you that would please my ego
If you all thought I am freaking genius
I guess I’ll never make it to the top
I keep rolling up Sisyphus’s rock
A golden crown also weighs a ton
I’d rather stay a mediocre pawn
Chorus
Why can’t you love me when I am wrong and incomplete
I am the King of Mediocrity
Bridge
Some people feel destined to rule over others
Some others need mothers to feel loved
Chorus
Why can’t you love me when I am wrong and incomplete
I am the King of Mediocrity
