I really dig Moroccan Role for taking that garage rock sound and attitude that was found on Rock n Roll and adding a country vibe to it. “Ah, Life” is like some love child of “This Is It” and “To Be Young.” I don’t know if anyone else will understand what I’m talking about, but the delivery of his vocals reminds me of “Lady Madonna” by the Beatles, for some odd reason. I can’t really explain it, so I won’t.
Really, the song is just a look at people living weird lives. There’s nothing exciting about them, really. They’re just odd. Principal Victoria just sits around on the computer all day, Michael lives with her in Central Park using money they supposedly got from “an uncle eaten by a shark.” They like coffee and tea, respectively. That’s all you need to know about them, I guess. Then there’s the mysterious Gloria, whose verse includes references to divorce lawyers and leaving her number by the bed. You don’t get the real scoop on her, but you can make up your own juicy details or whatever.
