Music: Cults (+ lyrics)

It's been a long. lonnnng time since I fell head over heels for a song. How's that phrase go again? When you least expect it, it will come? Bull. I was looking my ass off.

Here's how it happened: I was editing a small little movie that I made. Just a little fun little movie. And I need the perfect song to represent the playfullness of the film, and the dreariness of the weather. And all those feelings in between. I literally (literally!!) searched for a whole day. Poured through every song I had, every compilation on itunes, and came up with nothing.

Then at the end of the day, maybe around 10pm, I started going through random indie music blogs. I don't even know where I ended up, but I pressed play on this one song called, "Go Outside". The title alone was perfect. Then I heard it. Then I knew. I started running around the apartment shouting, "I got it!! I GOT IT!"

So, I've pretty much listened to this song 100 times now. And learned everything I could about this band that sings it. There's not that much out there yet (which makes me even more excited, cause that's a true stumbled-upon moment).

But I'm here to help you:

The band is called: CULTS
The song is called: GO OUTSIDE

The facts are:
They are a guy and a girl from NYC. This just sorta happened to them. Seemingly overnight. They wrote a great song. Bloggers got a hold of it. People started downloading it. 30 days later, they were signed. Now they have an album coming out.

Here are some links:
The website
The interview
The reviews
The Youtube
The remix (yes, already!)

And, the lyrics to GO OUTSIDE:

I really want to go out
I really want to go outside and stop to see your day
You really want to hole up
You really want to stay inside and sleep the light away

I really want to go out
I really want to go outside and make it light all day
You really want to hole up
You really want to stay inside and not care where you lay

Well I know what's good 

Exactly cause I have been there before
Yeah I know what's good
Exactly those things night cannot behold

I really want to go out
I really want to go outside and stop to see your day
You really want to hole up
You really want to stay inside and sleep the light away

I think it's good to go out
cause if you don't you'll never make a memory that will stay
I think that you should wake up
I think I want to live my life and you're just in my way
