Adolescent Lover by Robbie Rapids

Michigan native and Atlanta resident Robbie Rapids is a guitarist and vocalist from the city of Grand Rapids. ‘Jangly Power Pop Rock’ is a good way to characterise Robbie’s music. He is the imaginative lyricist and songwriter who collaborated with the prolific top session musician and producer David Levene to generate a compilation that draws inspiration from four decades of rock music, from the 1960s to the 1990s. Their skill and shared love of musicians like David Bowie, The Who, Tom Petty, Oasis, and Stone Temple Pilots have produced genuine works of art.

When David Levene visited Peru at age 16, his musical adventure officially began. He joined the famed psychedelic rock group “Laghonia” there in 1968. In Rolling Stone Magazine, Laghonia was listed as one of the best rock bands to come out of that region of the continent.

After two albums and album-supporting tours, a young David left the band to return to the U.S. to pursue his music career while studying recording technology and obtaining additional experience as a session player and producer. David moved to Atlanta in 1996 and is currently the boss of Big Sound Productions ATL, receiving recognition for his music and production skills in 2019.

This song is about the author’s adolescent development. A poetry from the 1990s on the back of his pay stub was just transformed into a whole sonic memory. The song begins with the artist talking about his car, a girlfriend he had for a few years, problems in their relationship, how they should have let life’s challenges come to them rather than worrying about them, and finally the artist letting go because life took a new turn.
