5/2/10

Love Jenny Owen Youngs. I first heard an acoustic version of "Dissolve" that was very beautiful from Paste but her band is pretty awesome. Audio is not great, such is the state of live clips on YouTube.




"tell them whatever you want
you and i know what happened here
tell them whatever you want
we gave each other proof we were there

there's nothing left on you
we sat and watched the glue dissolve

ask me whatever you need
i'm just waiting to obey
ask me the things you don't see
i am living to repay

there's nothing left on you
we sat and watched the glue dissolve

tell me what i deserve
i'm just waiting on your words
tell me i'm fit to be torn
you go, i stay, nothing gets done

there's nothing left on me
but breaks and cuts i know you can see
we're dead, we're bones, we're dust
there's nothing left to lose"

I love her sense of melody, and her perspective. Her music videos are pretty cool, too.



"Love is so embarrassing
I'm this awkward and uncomfortable thing
I'm running out of places to hide it
I'm running out of places to hide it
What the fuck was I thinking?"

~Fuck Was I,
Jenny Owen Youngs, Batten the Hatchets
