MP3: Rough Bunnies - Dance with your shadow
Once again I'm going to turn things over to Simon Tagestam for today's new mp3:
Two weeks ago I was back at my parents' house and spent a lot of the time alone driving around in their green Nissan Micra. The car stereo doesn't work in the car so I usually brought my nice little portable cassette player along for the ride, and during the last days of my trip I got totally hooked on this song by Rough Bunnies called "Dance with your shadow". I got so obsessed by the song that I had to unwind the tape every time the song finished, just so I could hear it again, making me a danger to my fellow drivers out on the road, since the cassette player isn't the easiest thing to maneuver with one hand while trying to keep your eyes on the road. Do you understand now how beautiful this song is? It made me a dangerous driver! Seriously, I haven't cried a lot lately but "Dance with your shadow" made my eyes more than misty while driving to my girl's parents' house in the middle of the night, but then it made me super happy half of the time as well (what a song!). When I now hear the song on the stereo in my room it's almost like a different song (for example: the male backing vocals, for some reason, are non-existent on the taped version), but I'm getting slowly used to the more hi-fi version of the song. "Dance with your shadow" is without a doubt the best song I've heard this year and not many songs I've listened to lately have made me feel this confused and warm inside. If you develop a similar liking to this gorgeous song, I would recommend you to put the song on repeat while you record it onto a tape (that's if you haven't got a car with a flashy cd player). The song itself is a bitter lo-fi love song that reminds me a bit of Beat Happening.
