"No One Is to Blame" by Down West

 


Confession.... I had long ago chosen Marc Martel's cover of Queen's "We Are the Champions" to post this morning.  Because I was convinced that the Philadelphia Eagles had a Superbowl win in the bag, and of course I'd be playing a crucial role in that victory by consuming my weight in Philly steak and cheese Hot Pockets and yelling at the television.

Alas, it was not to be.

Los Angeles, California indie trio Down West's cover of Southampton, UK singer/songwriter Howard Jones' 1986 adult contemporary hit "No One Is to Blame" seems more fitting for the occasion.

Is there a better line for the Chiefs' field goal sailing through the uprights with 10 seconds left than "Aspirations in the clouds, but your hopes go down the drain?"  Not really.

But. though no one ever is to blame, you'd have a pretty decent case for laying this one on James Bradberry's shoulders.
