The Pains of Being Pure At Heart are really my new favourite band. That name for starters. Does it work? I think it does, wear your heart on your sleeve, isn't that want we want from our music? It's certainly what I want.
And the tunes -
I checked my MP3 player and the amount of times I've gone through the album drawfs everything else on there, everything I've had on there longer, everything I've deleted to make room for other things. That despite only having it on there for a few weeks. I must listen to it at least once a day. At least. It feels like the old days, as a kid, only able to afford maybe one album a month and playing that album constantly. When buying an album was an event. And now, with all the tunes available around the internet that feeling has all but gone. Then, very occasionally, something comes along that just hits you and you can't get enough and you remember why you love music in the first place. No matter how I feel when the album comes on, by the end of it I'm smiling, dreaming of new love and remembering the joy, rather than the pain, of old.
"Stay Alive" has to be my favourite tune of all though. I quite often find myself unable to pass it when I play the album, repeating it over and over again. Sounds so fresh, so light, so romantic, in love, full of dreams, full of hope. This music packs my romantic mind.
