Welcome to Bossy’s Ear Worm, which features songs currently in Bossy’s headphones. Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.
Metric, Help I’m Alive.
Metric first formed in New York City a decade ago, but this song is from their latest April 2009 release, Fantasies. Bossy likes this song, where haunted electronica meets old-school British New Wave.
Help, I’m alive, my heart keeps beating like a hammer
Hard to be soft, tough to be tender
It looks like a 1987 vinyl albums cover.
They remind me a bit of The Breeders. I love them.
Bossy, you done saved my life! I heard a tid bit of this song the other day…since then it has been firmly lodged in the lobes of my mind…and I now know what the song is and by whom! You’re magical. Thanks!
