The first time, in your backyard
Underneath the plastic sheeting
Outside, it was pouring
And we were drunk as shit
Next time, at a party
When all our friends were there
There’s nothing like their mattresses
Underneath the stair
The third time, in the doorway
Lights all on around us
And the audience beside us
And the old man watching from a tree
Fourth time, I said that’s it
You’ve agreed to give me everything
Now I’ve got to ask you one thing
Keep doing that forever
Fifth time in your bedroom
And finally, we rested
And you leaned upon your elbow
And began to speak to me
But you stopped yourself and kissed me
And I grabbed your WRIST and told you
I know, I know, I know
I feel the same as you
And everyday, it’s changed since then
In every way, I’ve changed since then
And everyday, it’s changed since then
In every way, I’ve changed since then
Driven outside
I’ve driven you
Driven outside
I’ve driven you
For snart længe siden købte jeg det canadiske band The Stars tredje album Set yourself on Fire og de sidste dage har den ligget på min mp3-afspiller og har krøbet ind under huden på mig. Bandets line-up har været Torquil Cambell, Amy Millan, Evan Cranley, Chris Seligman og Pat McGee, og de spiller en meget melodiøs indie-rock med vægt på velklingende vokalarbejde, fortællende tekster og et kraftig snert af electronicaens lydverden. Set Your Self On Fire blev deres store gennembrud i hjemlandet og andre steder, hvor singleudspillet “Ageless Beauty” blev et hit. Forståeligt nok. For det har sin egen støjende, iørefaldende skønhed. Ialt har gruppen udgivet fire albums og en EP. Seneste album er In Our Bedroom After The War.
Min favoritsang er ovenstående lille sang – The First Five Times – om forelskelsens kaninhoppe-og-bollerier-og hvad deraf følger…
