Ils sont rentrés!
Welcome back to Les shins! No doubt imitating every other sap who has listened to their latest jam--the first to be released from their new album, which comes out this March (!)--I have been humming and singing and convulsing to in the back room at work and in the partial privacy of my dorm room. Simply amazing! I just caught site of the music video on the YouTube and was simultaneously blown away by the divine medley of music and imagery. I find that successful music videos are hard to come by, and many that the Shins have released before are random and entirely disconnected from the pathos of their songs. This one is a special exception to that trend--still random but will a heartfelt, humorous little anecdote of a dysfunctional family. Although I still prefer the song as a jivey, blasting ballad, it does work with the narrative of the video.
I am absolutely horny with excitement about their spring tour in the midwest. They are performing here in Boulder at Red Rocks on May 29! As of now that actually coordinates with my schedule! I have been pining for a Shins concert experience ever since high school and my dream of sweet Indie fulfillment may soon be satisfied. What a superb way to start off the summer! Happy Shinning to you all and enjoy the upcoming album; perhaps I will post my own review.
Paroles de la chanson pour vous:
Well, this is just a simple song,To say what you done.I told you 'bout all those fears,And away they did run.You sure must be strong,And you feel like an ocean being warmed by the sun.
When I was just nine-years-old,I swear that I dreamt,Your face on a football field,And a kiss that I kept,Under my vest.Apart from everything,With the heart in my chest.
Chorus:I know that things can really get rough,When you go it alone,Don't go thinking you gotta be tough,To bleed like a stone.Could be there's nothing else in our lives so critical,As this little hole.
My life in an upturned boat,Marooned on a cliff.You brought me a great big flood,And you gave me a lift.Girl, what a gift.Will you tell me with your tongue,And your breath was in my lungs,And we float up through the rift.
Chorus:I know that things can really get rough,When you go it alone.Don't go thinking you gotta be tough,To bleed like a stone.Could be there's nothing else in our lives so critical,As this little hole.
Well, this would be a simple song,To say what you done.I told you 'bout all those fears,And away they did run.You sure must be strong,When you feel like an ocean being warmed by the sun.
Remember walking a mile to your house,Aglow in the dark?I made a fumbling play for your heart,And the act struck a spark.You wore a charm on the chain that I stole,Especial for you.Love's such a delicate thing that we do,With nothing to prove,Which I never you.
Also, bienvenue to the Shins's new guitar wielding lady!
Her name is Jessica Dobson. She is joining the band for its world tour and has previously lent her skill to to Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Spoon. Nothing like a lady's touch to bring an already profound band to a new level of awesome!
