Weekend Music: 1234 - Feist



This is the glorious new song and video from Canadian singer Feist. The video is a technical wonder, shot in one take with one camera spinning around and above Leslie Feist and the dancers. This is from her brilliant album The Reminder, which is now on constant rotation on my stereo and iTunes.

1234

One Two Three Four
Tell me that you love me more
Sleepless long nights
That's what my youth was for

Old teenage hopes are alive at your door
Left you with nothing but they want some more

Oh, you're changing your heart
Oh, you know who you are

Sweetheart bitterheart now I can't tell you apart
Cosy and cold, put the horse before the cart

Those teenage hopes who have tears in their eyes
Too scared to own up to one little lie

Oh, you're changing your heart
Oh, you know who you are

One, two, three, four, five, six, nine, or ten
Money can't buy you back the love that you had then
One, two, three, four, five, six, nine, or ten
Money can't buy you back the love that you had then

Oh, you're changing your heart
Oh, you know who you are
Oh, you're changing your heart
Oh, you know who you are
Oh, who you are

For the teenage boys
They're breaking your heart
For the teenage boys
They're breaking your heart

I saw her on Kimmel a week or so ago and really liked the song she sang on there but this is off the chain fabulous. She's got a Kate Bush thing going on there which I know you like. Great lyrics too about teenage boys breaking your heart. Dont they always.

love, love, love Feist! Especially when she teams up with Broken Social Scene.

C,

If you haven't checked out Broken Social Scene on The Arts and Crafts label, you have to...

Also check out Rilo Kiley with Jenny Lewis, she and Feist seem to be the two most interesting, talented and charismatic singer/songwriters out there right now.
