Slippery seconds is from Los Angeles band Sweaters. The soul rock band put out one single in 2010 Can’t Stop Winning and Like Ur Killing A Man was the B side. Both songs are the kind of gold you find for a dollar in a record store and talk about late at night as though you found god in the bargain bin. Like Ur Killing A Man is a bouncy piano assisted pop rocker with a killer chorus and proof, ironically, that there is no god or these geniuses would have made an album with more of these treasures and gone on to worldwide fame and fortune. I hoped they killed it on an advertising deal or something.

 
“Let there be no question now that your the one I pray for,
I wanna hear you coming”
