HEYHEYHEY
by Sean
Please note: MP3s are only kept online for a short time, and if this entry is from more than a couple of weeks ago, the music probably won't be available to download any more.
UPDATE 8/6 8:00: EMI asks Popdrivel to take the song down. I'm wary of receiving my own Cease-and-Desist, so I'm not going to host it. However, for the moment, you can still grab it here or here. The track was produced (or at least mixed) by Chris Thomas (Pulp, The Pretenders, Roxy Music, Pink Floyd), in Montreal. Also recorded at those sessions was a version of Barroso's "Brazil" "Cold Cold Wind" is a short song, a sad song. It grows on you, or rather it lingers after it's left. The violin is sharp in your ear, and it's where all the feeling is. There and in Regine's backing vocal. It's raining, suddenly, brightly, devastatingly, everything flashing silver, you're blinking blinking blinking through. And then -- well, yes. "HEY HEY HEY." The rain stops and the sun slaps you in the chest so hard that your heart starts beating. "HEY HEY HEY!" Drum thump, chorus again, and there's that violin. They don't give us any more heys.

Posted by Jay Watts III at June 7, 2005 5:55 PMSorry folks, but EMI sent me a notice telling me to take it down. 128kbps or not. Thanks for linking to us, though, Sean! It is a good song though, isn't it?
