Broken Bells is the composite of James Mercer of 'The Shins' fame, and Danger Mouse of 'Grey Album' fame. Personally, I'd call James Mercer a lyrical genius. There is something so bluntly visceral about the lyrics "...can your batteries replace this heart?" that simultaneously justifies and questions all my past transgressions ever so accurately. Serendipity at its purest. The tempo is solemn enough to break my heart. Credits to my sister introducing this gem of a tune to me. Love you long time! x
I've uploaded this version beuase it is (forunately) untainted by auto tuning, besides, it pretty muh parallels the studio recording. There is something so earnest and heartbreaking about his voice that melts me into a cesspool of churning emotion, making it's way up and forming that imovable ball in the base of my throat. Sublime.
