How Your Heart Is Wired.

I was digging through the stack of CDs in my car on the drive back home, hoping to come across an album that would serve as a soundtrack to nostalgic thought, but I settled for a Paste Magazine sampler from May/June. As I flicked through this sampler back in May, and surpassed the strange country folk that Paste seems to tack on, I must have skipped over track No. 3, Bell X1.

I found myself playing Bell X1 "How Your Heart Is Wired" on repeat the entirety of my drive, jumping over to The Rocketboys for a few, and back to Bell X1. I kept thinking, "Man there must be a cool music video for this song..." but there isn't one. The lyrics are practically begging for animation and ambiguous interpretations, but all I found was the recording below of two different performance threaded together. There were tons of live performance videos, but the audio was best on this one.

Here is a link to a free download, so hopefully you will like it too.

My tongue is scaling the North face of your neck

And we're glaring like warriors but,

I've a feelin' you won't look at me that way in the morning

Cos lately you seem less sure of this thing

You're like Bambi on Ice

And there's something in the flash of your arms

A certain longing

Kick the can I can't see you now behind that temper and ire

Mister wolf knows what time it is

He says it's dinner time

I don't know what you're carrying or how you're heart is wired

but there's a dangerous ticking.

I cut the red one, No, the Blue one

I cut the red one,

I cut the blue one

Raking over the embers and what I come across?

Is that you, combing your hair?

Is that me, eating an egg?

And are we there

Like John Boy said?

My tongue is scaling the North face of your neck

And we're glaring like warriors but,

I've a feelin' you won't look at me that way

I've a feelin' you won't look at me that way

I've a feelin' you won't look at me that way

in the morning.

Is this how it goes,

In these, the final throws?
