Tuesday Tunes

We waste time on blame and weak revenge
Waste energy and projections
We're living proof, we gotta let go
And stop looking through the halo





Feist's new album, Metals is out now, I'm waiting patiently to borrow a copy from our library. Patiently....patiently....patiently. In the meantime, I'm so enjoying watching some live performances while she's out promoting the new tunes. She also did a great interview on Morning Edition a few weeks back. (Where I first heard this song and got it stuck in my head)

How Come You Never Go There - Feist
How come you never go there?
How come I'm so alone there?

How come you never go there?
How come I'm so alone there?

I went up to a window
Lightning banging on the cymbals
I ripped into the night
Came storm into your eyes

My horse had worked the fields too long
My bear had lost its innate calm
It's true enough we're not at peace
But peace is never what it seems

Our love is not the light it was
When I walk inside the dark I'm calm
Where we look for where we went
It's only echoes in the melody

How come you never go there?
How come I'm so alone there?

How come you never go there?
How come I'm so alone there?

We waste time on blame and weak revenge
Waste energy and projections
We're living proof, we gotta let go
And stop looking through the halo

We carry on as if our time is through
You carry on as if I don't love you
And so we find the way is out
To cut the heart out of the doubt now

The room's full but hearts are empty
Like the letters never sent me
Words are like a lasso
You're an instrumental tune

How come you never go there?
How come I'm so alone there?

How come you never go there?
How come I'm so alone there?

Wow, I really enjoyed her. I've never her of Feist before, but I'll definitely be looking for more.
Thanks for sharing.

Glad you liked her! Her voice is so captivating. Her first album, features the song, 1,2,3,4 (from the iPod commercial and more notably sesame street in our house) is great too. It's called The Reminder. http://www.amazon.com/The-Reminder/dp/B000V9D0XY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1319681126&sr=8-2
