Hearts keep breaking throughout the album, as “Take a Step Back,” “Trading Heartbeats” and “A Story to Tell Your Friends” will attest. The latter song apparently addresses the unique situation of trying to maintain a relationship while being a member of a nomadic rock band.
The interesting thing is that Every Avenue refuses to succumb to the mopes. “Between You and I” is a slow, piano-driven ballad, but otherwise, Shh, Just Go With It takes life’s lemons and squeezes them into pure rock ’n’ roll joy.
