"Hey", says a friend

My name's Isaac, and I love movies and music almost as much as Linds and Phil.  We used to see movies together every Friday night (including THE DEPARTED for the first time) but now I live in Evansville, Indiana...anyways.  Here's a guest article that I wanted to share with all you readers.

I rediscovered my love for Pixies, a grunge band of the late 80s, early 90s this year.  They're known for a semi-surf influence and being all-around badasses.  Known for such hits as "Here Comes Your Man," "Wave of Mutilation," and "Where Is My Mind?," Pixies have a unique sound that is said to have inspired Kurt Cobain, among many others.

I was listening to them while finishing a drafting project the other night, and the song "Hey" came on by them.  So, without further ado:

Hey

Been trying to meet you

Ooh

Hey

Must be a devil between us

Or whores in my head

Whores at the door

Whore in my bed

But hey

Where

have you

been?

If you go, I will surely die

We're chained.

Uuh

Said the man to the lady

Ooh

Uuh

Said the lady to the man she adores

and the whores like a choir

Uuh uuh

All night

And Mary aint you tired

of this

uuh

is

the

sound

that your mother makes

when the baby breaks

We're chained.

That my friends, is songwriting.  In my humble opinion, this song captures and conveys the honest convictions of relationships, and to an extent, human nature.  What I truly love about this song is how it transcends the lyrics, as poetic as they are, and captures the pain you feel in a relationship, even when you love someone as much as you can.  The echoing effects of the guitar and subtle creeping bassline, tied with one of the best vocalizations in recording history.  I'm not going to say that "Hey" is the best song ever written.  But it's up on my list, and I wanted to share it

And on a side note...Rachel Bilson is a fox who should probably get some acting lessons.  But she's still a fox.  With that, I'm out.
