8. RAC, “One House” feat. Speak [Battlestation Records]
The grass has never sounded greener than on this one-off single by RAC. “One House” is an empowerment anthem for the masses, if the masses are sick and tired of being sick and tired… but purposefully choose to be sick and tired anyway. San Francisco may be warmer, and New York City may be busier, and Denver may be higher, but nothing compares to Boston. “Tell me cause I want to know now / Is it beautiful when you figure it out? Is it better on the elevator down when you move into a one-house town?” Speak sings over a synth-pop jam aimed directly at all of us who are sick and tired of our Boston routine but wouldn’t change it for the world. “One House” will keep us going when, much to our dismay, we’ll inevitably become stuck in our one houses this winter.
