This is a very good band you might enjoy. Furthermore, driving with this song up loud on a nice day as you escape from the workday is a blessing, a joy, what-have-you. I am not sure why I haven't posted this before - Ida Maria being awesome is old news to some I'm sure, but for those of you unaware - please consider yourself alerted to the awesomeness.
Saw these guys open for Bishop Allen last night at the Rickshaw Stop in SF, CA
Very good indeed!
Lovely sound on this live recording. Very nice stuff indeed. I figure not many people have heard actual recording so am including a real video below and the lyrics that are featured in their song, To Leave It Behind.
When we were greened and young as shoots
The world took off beneath our boots
Oh we were picked when we were young
Gentle words and modesty
When we turned towards the tide
Choirs screamed in their delight
Oh i am ripe and ready now
My heart is heavy, it's going to fall
Out of my body
Unto love, unto love
Oh my heart is heavy, it's going to fall
Out of my body
Would have died without
Your gardens of eternal life
That you kept so well, kept so well
Could have lived without
The fall into the tragedy
But I'm not Adam and you're not Eve
They were brave enough to leave
When they were told leave it behind
Leave it behind
It behind
They were brave enough to leave
When they were told
Leave it behind
Leave it behind
It behind
They were brave enough to leave
When they were told
Leave it behind
Retro-awesome. Ever wondered where these guys went? The lead singer and main songwriter apparently and sadly killed himself - so consider that mystery solved. These guys were pretty great though. Check out this live one...
The obligatory "oh they sang that other song that used to be on the radio" song... included so you can have closure.
Portland band plays music not unlike I will again soon.
See you next weekend drums and things!
