Seth's #7

Back to Cali! Yet again we're in LA, this is where we will find this indie rock band.   They are a relatively new band, formed in 2006, yet their first album had a major effect on some famous people! On March 10, 2009, during a live radio broadcast with U2 at the Metro Chicago, host Shirley Manson of Garbage asked the band to name some of its favorite songs. Bassist Adam Clayton chose this band's first single as one of his selections, commenting that he felt he would be listening to their album the rest of the year. During its U2 360° Tour, U2 made a habit of playing a recording of the song in stadiums before taking the stage.  Here is the second single off of their self titled debut album...

Seth's number 7 song is... 
The Airborne Toxic Event - Does This Mean You're Moving On?


"And the funny thing is, it has no end
I try to call you up, at 2am
In a crowded bar, your ringer tones
Grab my mind

I can see you through the phone,
The phone, the phone
And I'm wide awake at home
At home, at home
So I think I'll see my coquette
And hope you don't catch
The bourbon on my breath
My breath, my breath

Catch a cab outside on Seventh Street
And the cars fly through the Bowery
I come to your door and I hear a moan
Then another voice, so Christ, she's not alone
Alone, alone
And my heart sinks like a stone
A stone, a stone
And the tears won't even come
I feel so numb
So swept aside, so dumb
So dumb, so dumb"
