(1.) We're Tornados When We Dance (Basement Sessions) - Levi Weaver

This is the 1st of 6 online surprises in anticipation of our show with Levi Weaver on May 1st at Bongo Java in Nashville, TN. Here is a live rendition of Levi's song, "We're Tornadoes When We Dance", the first track from his currently unfolding monthly digital release, "The Letters of Dr. Kurt Gödel."

A special thanks to our friend, Laura Haupt for doing the video work on these for us.

Lyrics:
And so the chemicals collide
In some location just outside
The place where things like
Love and fear and rage are born.
Coursing through each vein and artery
To nerves and every part of me,
The struggle to interpret
All the combinations formed.

And reactions come of mixed,
My jaw is slacked, my muscles tense.
My heart begins its struggle
To break free
From the cage of my own chest
In an attempt to come to rest
Somewhere its certain
Your heart will also be.

We're tornadoes when we dance,
High winds concealed in slow romance.
Uproot the world beneath our paths.
Uncover heaven with our hands.

The magicians in your eyes
Make the world disappear from mind.
They make the weight of life
Vacation for a while.
And while the music in your kiss
Begins to sing the minor fifth,
Our fingertips conduct a symphony
In style.

And by the second movement in
Houses are whistling in our wind
Branches are snapping in our spin
Skin is twisting against skin
And I am flying so it seems,
Foundations bursting the seams.
The sky is manic with our song.
I am frantic. We are strong.

We're tornadoes when we dance,
High winds concealed in slow romance.
Uproot the world beneath our paths.
Uncover heaven with our hands.

We're tornadoes when we dance,

Woah, oh oh.
Woah, oh oh.

We're tornadoes when we dance,
High winds concealed in slow romance.
Uproot the world beneath our paths.
Uncover heaven with our hands.

Great job!! I really like this song. :)

I liked the cover of Where have you been, the harmonies were amazing. The electronica feel was the only thing I didn't really like but overall it was an interesting take on the song. :)
