Day 22: A song from the 00's - 2007

And I can't face the evening straight
You can offer me escape
Houses move and houses speak

Their music is so ahead of its time -- this song is a B-side release

Day 23: A song from the 10s

I was talking the other day about "Clap/Stomp/Hey!" alt folk. "Ho Hey," is as "Clap/Stomp/Hey!" as you get, even having "hey" in the title. It was written to get under the skins of aloof New Yorkers when the band was first starting out in Brooklyn. They figured yelling a lot would get indifferent concertgoers' attention. And it worked, as it got everyone's attention.

I like this song because it lacks any pretense or illusions. It is as straightforward and sincere a song you will hear produced in these cynical years. I also love it because when I lived in New York, I lived in SoHo, so I know exactly what it feels like standing on Canal and Bowery streets in Chinatown. It is a big intersection, and there is a small concrete island between the roads, complete with trees and dying grass on it. There is a park bench there, or there was one 30 years ago. It is a nice place to wait for something that may or may not work out.

Ho! Hey! indeed.

"Ho Hey," The Lumineers. (2012)

(+1 for Canal St and Bowery St, and Chinatown, Manhattan, NY, for 6 pts (and 10 Flirtpoints))

(I belong with you, you belong with me...)

Oh Muse. So big. And so forgettable. But I have such a soft spot in my heart for you. This particular song was the one where my daughter and I started to bond over music. Our tastes (hers more than mine naturally) have grown and changed considerably since, we still love this song.
