Too weird - a friend just recommended The Blow to me today. Nice find!
The Blow — True Affection
Not new, not old.
This was the last song The Blow sang when I saw her (The Blow was a guy and a girl then the guy peaced to pursue solo projects (life imitating art! (boys! (nested parentheses!))) so now it’s just one girl) in concert and it made my world go round.
The lyrics really say it all:
I was out of your league….
and you were twenty thousand underneath the sea
Waving affections
You were out of my league
at a distance that I didn’t want to see
Down to the bottom
I wanted a junction, and often there was one
You’d surface face first and we’d share thought bubbles
and I still believe in the phrases that we breathed
but I know the distance isn’t fair to cross
