Smallpools’ Be Kind, Rewind hits like a VHS tape unexpectedly discovered in the back of a dusty closet.
This alt-pop gem conjures the ghosts of Blockbuster past, wrapping listeners in a cozy blanket of nostalgia.
The track’s clean production sparkles with a mix of electronic flourishes and organic instrumentation.
A driving drum beat propels the song forward, while Sean Scanlon’s bright vocals soar above the melodic landscape.
Lyrically, Be Kind, Rewind taps into a collective longing for simpler times. The chorus hooks you with its plea: “Can we go back to the title screen / Say what we mean and be kind, rewind.”
It’s a sentiment that resonates in our fast-paced, often unforgiving world.
Smallpools doesn’t just reminisce about video stores; they use this shared cultural touchstone to explore deeper themes of communication breakdowns and the desire for do-overs in relationships.
The lines like “We don’t have to fix every mistake / If we did I worry parts of us would be erased” hint at the complexities of human connections.
The song’s structure mimics the act of rewinding, with repeated phrases and a circular feel to the arrangement. It’s a clever nod to the track’s central metaphor.
Be Kind, Rewind manages to be both a fun pop confection and a poignant reflection on the passage of time.
Smallpools has crafted a song that will have you humming along while simultaneously pondering life’s rewind button.
This track serves as a promising glimpse into their upcoming album, “Ghost Town Road.”
If the rest of the record captures this same blend of nostalgia and modern alt-pop sensibilities, Smallpools might just have a sleeper hit on their hands.

Smallpools Be Kind, Rewind Lyrics
Better not to say what’s on your mind
Cause lately I’m worn down
And we’re not seeing eye to eye
And honesty gets broken over time
I was just like you, it don’t make it right
Take sides why’s everything so blurred like
Some kind of static late night
Hands in my face again and again and again and
Oh hey, are we out of time?
Can we go back to the title screen
Say what we mean and be kind rewind
So stay for another night
When the credits roll, our younger souls
They always know to be kind rewind (be kind rewind)
We don’t have to fix every mistake
If we did I worry parts of us would be erased
Just promise me till we run out of tape
That we can hit pause here, cause it’s gettin’ late
Take sides why’s everything so blurred like
Some kind of static late night
Hands in my face again and again and again and
Oh hey, are we out of time?
Can we go back to the title screen
Say what we mean and be kind rewind
So stay, for another night
When the credits roll, our younger souls
They always know to be kind rewind (be kind rewind)
Do do do do do do
Do do do do do do
Do do do do do do
Sometimes you just gotta press rewind
Do do do do do do
Sometimes you just gotta press rewind
And again and again and
Oh hey, are we out of time?
Can we go back to the title screen
Say what we mean and be kind rewind
So stay, for another night
When the credits roll, our younger souls
They always know to be kind rewind
Do do do do do do
Do do do do do do
Be kind rewind
Do do do do do do
Do do do do do do
Be kind rewind
Be kind rewind
