Last Dance

It is truly something amazing how much innovative music is out there in the world just floating around and kills me to realize how much of it I and so much of the public will never hear because they do not care and ignore things that are different and unfamiliar to them. I recently was at the MSU Union and saw a few bands play in the Main Lounge, and this was again put on by the University Activities Board, and one band that I could not stop listening to was Breathe Owl Breathe. I had never heard of them before and I don't know how this could have been possible, they are so innovative, they use interesting instruments that I have never seen and they even use children's toys for sound effects which is something that I just never really thought about doing. I liked them even enough to buy one of their c.d.'s, something I almost never do. One of their songs, called "Last Dance" I could just listen to over and over and I do! It has like a simple beat with a beautiful women's voice singing and a man talking at the same time, but not all throughout the song, it just all goes together so perfectly. I would like to put some of the lyrics on here just because I love them that much.

Breathe Owl Breathe - Last Dance (Lyrics) (or at least this is what I think is being sung)

I like to rollerskate with the books on tape
And my headphones are like a big drone
And the parking lot looks like an open field
Oh the Field
This Dance....ah we ah we ah we

Wilma Arrested
Her only thought was
Will the others find me here
I hope not
Counting outloud turns the wind into a math equation

This is a just a few of things they are saying, it is all just so creative, I love this band and everything they do, I hope you give them a chance and listen to them, it will be worth it, I have one of their c.d.'s and I can't stop listening to it.
