The Walkmen have been one of my favorite bands since I first heard "The Rat" on MTV2's Subterranean in 2004. It's not just because they are the HUNKIEST guys in indie rock today (which they are). I love their music. It makes me happy. And, sometimes it makes me sad.
ENTER "Heaven."
"Heaven" is the first single from their upcoming album by the same name and three seconds in became my new favorite song. Hamilton Leithauser's sultry and sexy howl singing this song is like a drug to me.
"Our children will always hear
romantic tale of distant years
our guilded age
may come and go
out crooked dreams will always grow
Stick with me
oh, you're my best friend
all of my life you've always been
remember, remember
all we fight for
remember, remember
all we fight for
Don't leave me
you're my best friend
all of my life
you've always been
Don't leave me now
you're my best friend
all of my life
you've always been
remember, remember
all we fight for
remember, remember
all we fight for"
COME ON!!! This shit is like kryptonite to me. SO FRICKING GOOD. As if that wasn't enough, they also released "Heartbreaker" this week, another new favorite song from Heaven. The record is out May 29th on Fat Possum/Bella Union. I'm not sure if I can wait that long!
