Springtime Can Kill You

A song by Jolie Holland meshed with a clip of migrating birds in spring 2008. Springtime, springtime can kill you / Just like it did poor me / Don't you see we're all hurt the same way / So get out, get out of your house.

Jolie's up there with these birds - never listened to this properly - never even realised she's whistling - never listened to the lyrics either - videos must make you think!

You have a good eye for art, btw - and a good ear for music! :)

Can anyone else relate to my experience of feeling a confusing mixture of depression and transcendence from listening to Ms. Holland?

I got this on a compilation I was handed at Lollapalooza a few years ago. I haven't been since then. I must say, however that getting this song on that CD was the highlight of the experience. Thank you Jolie Holland!

Go down the backroads Don't take it too slow You don't have the time for a long flirtation You don't have the time for the least hesitation Roses all are blooming Lilacs all aglow Honeysuckle vine shine shine Oh get out, get out of your house Springtime, springtime can kill you Just like it did poor me Don't you see we're all hurt the same way So get out, get out of your house

[chetbango]

High on the moonshine bodies entwine Don't you see it's better this way Don't you see it's better this way You can't be too shy You know the reason why If you don't go get what you need Something's going to break on the inside Springtime, springtime can kill you Just like it did poor me Don't you see we're all hurt the same way So get out, get out of your house
