Song Of The Week \ 10

About half a year ago I accidentally visited a small village on mountain Pohorje, and felt SOOOO happy when I got back to our capital. So happy in fact, that it actually switched my musical focus to modern, fresh, urban electro. I wanted to embrace the urban lifestyle because I found out, that this isn't something one should take for granted. Not everyone have internet access, public transportation, night clubs, movie theaters, coffe shops and even markets.
Anyhow I'm thinking time is comming for me to kinda return to the style I've listened before Pohorje. Of course I still love electro, and am a fierce bitch, but I'm also starting to feel the appeal of perhaps a bit more classic songs. Beacuse of the delay I'm posting a double post again.

First act I've recently come to like is Joan As Policewoman. It is a 3 piece band with Joan Wasser as a frontwoman. She plays violin, guitar and piano, and writes all of their songs. Album as a whole is very emotional and deep, as is the song "Eternal Flame", which was the most succesful single from their album "Real Life" in 2006. Despite she's 38 years old, she looks absolutely fantastic on the cover, kinda lesbian even. Really really beautiful woman, I want her as my friend :) For the first time I'm attaching the lyrics, because they shouldn't be missed.

Vocal overlapping made perfect.

Yes
I wanna have it
Yes yes
I wanna have you now
But i can't be the lighter
I can't be the lighter

I wanna go there
Yes yes
I wanna show you how
But i can't be the lighter
I can't be the lighter

Just in case you never knew
I can't be the lighter
Of your eternal flame

Oh! oceans, rivers, lakes
That we could swim as two
But i already own my
Own body of water

You'll follow me and
Yes, yes
I'll follow you,
It's true
But i'm already certain
I've got good directions

Just in case you never knew
I won't be becoming
I am the beginning
And i'm already
Done

These yes days,
They've come and gone
Not always going to make
The same mistakes

It's too simple, i saw the truth
And truth is the terror of the one
Who feels their lace can be stained
But i cannot stain your white lace, baby
Even you cannot stain your white lace baby

No
I'll never go there
No no
I'll never take that route
'cause i won't be the fighter
I won' t be the fighter

Don't ever push me
No, no, don't ever make me shoot
'cause i won't be the fighter
I won't be the fighter

Just in case you never knew
I won't be the fighter
For your eternal flame

Just in case you never knew
I won't be becoming
I am the beginning
And i'm already
Done

Just in case you never knew
I can't be the lighter
Of your eternal flame


Let's cheer it up. Second song of the week is a happy retro 80's song with an amazing chorus. It could really almost be released in '89, except it is only a few months old. The Virgins are not yet well known band, which got their first break in the TV show Gossip Girl, where they played only their songs in one entire episode. I got the album and immediately fell in love with this track. What do you think? Don't it reminds You of the times when You were too young to really remember anything, but still have kind of a subconscious melodic memory about it? I'm a 80's baby, baby!
