So in love with the new Telekinesis album '12 Desperate straight lines' Seriously Michael Benjamin Lerner is a perfect example of the Seattle bands (and boys) I continuously fall head over heels for. I can't help but smile at his every stutter. His sad songs make me happy and magically uncomplicate, while summing up, all my past relationships... "you're like a puzzle that cant be solved and some pieces never fill the gaps you've got the salt and i've got the wound all you've got to do is ask..."
"Is it any wonder that I didn’t run? No math equations could tell you what went wrong... Lets start all over Lets go back to square one. I never loved you I’ve never loved anyone And I could sit and wonder about where I went wrong Or I can go out Friday and try to have fun. "
"guess im gone forever I guess I moved to a new town
so I don’t forget you im writing it down"
"we were in love in another way in another city oh in another day but when you look in my eyes i start shivering i get a fever chill i get a fever chill and i can see straight through to the other side where the winters warm but the sun don't shine"
"as i told the biggest lie you turned your head and closed your eyes...
as the credits start to roll as you feel it in your soul
you shoot a glance so soft and true. You need me and I need you"
NPR is streaming this album in it awesome entirety until it releases mid February!
