Odd Blood tracklisting:
I’m finishing up a mix for a friend and figured I might as well create a new post here sharing two songs on it, by The Drums (a band I first blogged about here) and Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros, so enjoy…
The Drums “Let’s Go Surfing”
Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros “Home”
My favorite part of this song comes during the ‘talking’ toward the end:
Him: Jade
Her: Alexander
Him: Do you remember that day you fell outta my window?
Her: I sure do, you came jumping out after me.
Him: Well, you fell on the concrete, nearly broke your ass, you were bleeding all over the place and I rushed you out to the hospital, you remember that?
Her: Yes I do.
Him: Well there’s something I never told you about that night.
Her: What didn’t you tell me?
Him: While you were sitting in the backseat smoking a cigarette you thought was gonna be your last, I was falling deep, deeply in love with you, and I never told you til just now.
