Feist - “How Come You Never Go There”

Leslie Feist returns with a new album and it’s so good that my world nearly ceases to be. I was driving when I heard this on the radio for the first time, and I actually parked my car so I could listen to the whole song with my full attention.

The part that always captures my attention is the second verse, where she sings:

We carry on as if our time is through,
You carry on as if I don’t love you.

Maybe it’s ironic because she is a class vocalist, but the emotion in this passage makes me forget that she’s singing at all. Hits me square in the heart, every time.
