Moving love ballad appears on band\u2019s upcoming album Everyone for Ten Minutes<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \n\tIt may sound funny, but Jack Antonoff<\/a> plays both harpsichord and a Dobro (one of those funky acoustic guitars with a hubcap in the middle<\/a>) on Bleachers<\/a>\u2018 new single \u201cI\u2019m Not Joking.\u201d The maudlin song, whose lyrics too sincere to be funny, will appear on the group\u2019s upcoming Everyone for Ten Minutes<\/em>, out May 22. \u201cI\u2019m not joking,\u201d Antonoff sings to his love, \u201cIt was love at first sight, good Lord, I found you.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tThe song ambles along, recalling both Seventies commercial lite rock thanks to Mikey Freedom-Hart\u2019s Hammond playing and Neil Young\u2019s \u201cDown by the River,\u201d with its falsetto \u201cla-la-la\u201d refrain, in a good way, and we\u2019re not joking. Throughout, Antonoff defines himself as not being the type of guy to rehash pickup lines, ask about his lover\u2019s previous dudes, or tell her what to do. \u201cAll of that fear comes out in the big wash,\u201d he sings at the end, and adds, \u201cI\u2019m not joking at all,\u201d as the harpsichord rises in the mix.<\/p>\n
