And your ears shall hear…

This song is like a really good beer that you look forward to, after a hectic day of hard news. It’s like a Surly “Furious,” after the president just announced he killed Bin Laden. What I’m trying to say is that “Helena Beat” is the only thing getting me through this 1am start. It’s been on my mind for a good part of the last week, and is well into Monday with me!. This song makes me happy, and that’s all you can ask for from music. They started off with “Pumped Up Kicks,” and now they have me hook, line, and sinker with “Helena Beat!” “Yeah yeah and it’s okay/I tie my hands up to a chair so I don’t fall that way.” Thanks, Foster The People for making good music and saving me from the doldrums of news production!

Sometimes life it takes you by the hand.
It puts you down before you know it
It’s gone and you’re dead again.
I’ve been in places and I won’t pretend
That I make it I just follow my head.
When its strange to take a walk downstairs
Sweep u all up on a corner and pay for my bread.
You know that I cannot believe my own truth
To show what a truth, got nothin’ to lose.Yeah yeah and it’s okay.
I tie my hands up to a chair so I don’t fall that way.
Yeah yeah and I’m alright.
I took a sip of something poison but I’ll hold on tight.You know those days when u wanted to choose
To not get out of bed and get lost in your head again.
You play the game but you gotta cut
Cuz’ you’re comin’ down hard your joints are off stud.
I tried to say that’s not the only way
I never knew if I could convince myself to change.
You were pacing I was insecure.
Slip and fall I got the call of the prison I was livin’ in.Yeah yeah and it’s okay.
I tie my hands up to a chair so I don’t fall that way.
Yeah yeah and I’m alright.
I took a sip of something poison but I’ll hold on tight
