Tonight I was about 3 metres away from Jenny Lewis as she performed in the band Jenny and Johnny at the RRR studios. I love their album and the band was in good form and really I have been waiting a long time to see Jenny. For a while there I was obsessed by her band Rilo Kiley. I first heard about them in an Elvis Costello interview. And then in Uncut magazine and Mojo and The Word and then I picked up More Adventurous.
It was full of great songs but this one bowled me over. I swear it sent tingles down my spine. And sometimes still does not matter how many times I hear it. It's like a great novella condensed into a 3 minute pop song. The lyrics have a little twists and the music follows these twists. And then it all comes together at the end for the final denourment. I keep playing this song to friends. You gotta listen but Rilo Kiley isn't a band too well known by a lot of people. Brilliant music from a great band and they should have been right up there.
I can't find a decent video for this song which is a shame I might have to put up one myself.
