LISTENING IN: Indie band is our Heart’s desire
For a little over a decade, Seattle’s The Head and the Heart has been looking down from the top of the charts – not so much the mainstream ones, but indie, folk, and alternative.
But lack of mainstream chart success – there has been the odd peak in the general rock lists – doesn’t detract from their popularity, having proven a popular soundtrack option in various films and on TV, from “How I Met Your Mother” to “Sons of Anarchy” and “New Amsterdam.”
Across its five albums, the band’s heartfelt – no pun ¬– vibe has drawn comparison to the Avett Brothers and AllMusic calls them a band “whose music splits the difference between acoustic folk, Americana, and pop.”
Check them out on our favourite song, “Shake.” If you live in BC, the band is scheduled to play at the PNE in Vancouver on Aug. 8.
Lyrics
Well the ink in my plan went dry long before your smile
And the pages have always been blink like the trees in the wild
But the wind, yes the wind keeps pushing you and me
Time in time, I know when it’s time to leave
If the memories we make, will never been lost, no
And the look on your face, we both knew the cost
But the wind, yes the wind keeps howling
I put in the pictures, you put in the time
You put all those memories so deep inside my mind
Now the wind, yes the wind keeps pushing you and me
And time in time, I know when it’s time to leave
And the memories we’ve made, will never be lost, no
And the look on your face, we both knew the cost
But the wind, yes the wind keeps howling
Even if it was a mistake, I can’t forget your face
Even if it was just a day,
You won’t forget the one who’s making you shake
Kinda lost my way you see
Kinda lost my way you see
Kinda lost my way you see
Kinda lost my way you see
Even if it was a mistake, I can’t forget your face
Even if it was just a day,
You won’t forget the man who’s making you shake
Who’s making you shake, you shake
Ah, making you shake
You shake
Ah, making you shake
