Still one of my top 5 bands of all time. Listen from the beginning of their career to this and you will see that they have grown in so many ways. Yo La Tengo is another fave of mine for the same reason. Mimi Parker's voice is incredible.
The singer has a cool vibe about her. I imagine her as some kind of druid witch that should be in the forest or something, Stevie Nicks style lol. So to have her in the subway was brilliant. She looked lost, out of place, but also on a mission. The band scene even looked like some kind of seance. And the lyrics work:
"All these elixirs," "You've fallen into slumber," "some songs feel like butter, some songs sound like cake, this little number is for your sake."
@kmacmuzikmafia27 That's kind of ironic, what with her being a Mormon and all, but it fits. Druid witch, I totally see it. I think the video generally captured well the alienation and anonymity of the NYC experience.
Great video, and it's my favorite song on the album. But the radio edit took out the middle section with the strings. It was the best part of the song. Darn.
love this!!! Great stuff!
