Leopold and His Fiction - "Miss Manipulation"
Doesn't it feel like the world's in a giant foam party? Except minus the party part. It's a constant physical effort to see what's right in front of you. And after you make it to the kitchen, your lunch is still covered in foam. Driving is tougher, but you get used to it right away, your eyes, now useless, glaze over, and your mouth bunches and flattens, you still, inexplicably, signal. At this point, we pull back from you, and realise that this song is about all of us getting along in this foam party world.
Leopold and His Fiction - "Be Still"
If the Pauls made songs in straight lines, if Alden Penner's sweetness weren't hiding in a tomb somewhere, if drumsticks could tap dance, then there would be no need for this song to exist. But there is a need. Please stay.

Posted by Chris at March 11, 2007 12:59 PMThis is really something, especially the second song. Propulsive, impulsive, youthful, but somehow weary.
Thank you.
