“Shake” by The Rassle – A Song Review

     “Shake” is an exuberant, anthemic celebration. It’s a sophisticated hokey pokey from its siren-like start to its fadeout conclusion.

     The Rassle is the New York (with ties to Austin) duo of Reed Van Nort and Blair Van Nort. 


Lyrics of “Shake” by The Rassle
It's time to let go, but how you gonna know
When the rhythm of your heart beats on

Try and get ya self into it.
Try and get ya self and do it.
[Repeat]

You're living in the past but the reflection never lasts
When you're staring at a glass half full

Try and get ya self into it.
Try and get ya self and do it.
[Repeat]

Now everyone is moving on
Every day we hustle some
Tell yourself you're not alone
Here today and then you're gone
Here today tomorrow this all could be gone
Good and gone
Try and get it
Get what you really want

C’mon
Shake, shake your hips right
Shake all through the night
Shake what you can't fight
The mirror ball will shine a light
Shake what they gave you
Throw it out and start new

Uh huh, uh huh

Shake what you left behind
Shake off your troubled mind
Shake out far and wide
Cause dreams like ours will never die
Shake what they gave you
Let's have some fun before we're through

Uh huh, uh huh

Shake off all that came before
You never ever look back
You ain’t never get old
Try and catch me
Catch me if you
Shake your hips to the left, to the right
Feel the rhythm and let’s get lost in the night

Shake, shake your hips right
Shake all through the night
Shake what you can't fight
The mirror ball will shine a light
Shake what they gave you
Throw it out and start new

Uh huh, uh huh

Shake what you left behind
Shake off your troubled mind
Shake out far and wide
Cause dreams like ours will never die
Shake what they gave you
Let's have some fun before we're through

Uh huh, uh huh
