What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (cd)



Such dreamy vocals from She. Does anybody ever notice Him? Zooey Deschanel and Matt Ward make up this duo. Zooey also serves as a part time actress, with several film credits. They hooked up while on the set of the film The Go-Getter when asked by the director to do a duet for the closing credits. A bond was formed. Debut album in 2008 which I have not heard. Although that one did not fare that well in sales, it did receive critical acclaim leading to a follow up which has done quite well reaching #6 in the states. Two singles have been released of Thieves and In The Sun, neither of which have charted. I actually expected this album to reach the love mark, but even after my customary 5 spins, it didn't reach it. Still a very good album. I must say, although still adorable, Zooey appears to have a severe case of stage fright when performing. When Matt sings on track 4, you can tell why he's not the focal point of the team.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Ridin' In My Car

Best Track - Lingering Still

I like to learn things slow
I like learning a lot
I like to get it all again and in the end
You know you get what you got
I like to mean what I say
But it don't always come through
Because if I say it all again, again, again
It doesn't make it all true

And the world's like a science
And I'm like a secret
And I saw you lingering still, still
I saw you lingering still

It's all just news to me
Don't really care if it hurts
Because if I knock it I won't know it
Then I know that it will only get worse
He was different at first
But then he won't understand
Because he's never going to know me
If he doesn't want to just shake my hand

And the world's like a science
And I'm like a secret
And I saw you lingering still, still
I saw you lingering still
