Karen O’s Crush Songs is a short, sentimental CD filled with low-fi whispers of love unrequited lust unfulfilled and romance unrealized in a hazy, unfinished dream-like musical landscape. You go back to your toothpaste your friend arrives and life resumes as previously scheduled. The moment ends often as quickly as it began. And that moment feels like it could last forever and everything else could fade away. There’s nothing stronger than that feeling in that moment. But he makes you feel like you belong right there and you’re the most interesting person in the whole place. Or when a bartender tells you bad jokes and shows off his dorky Cocktail moves while you fidget and fumble around uncomfortably waiting for a former work friend to show up at a bar that seems too cool for you and your post-workout sweats. Like when you’re looking for the toothpaste aisle at the drug store and end up spending 15 minutes staring at this tattooed Zeus ponder which water pick to buy and the next thing you know he has a new water pick and you have new toothpaste and life is still the same except your heart is racing a little faster your throat is a bit parched and you’re overcome with the desire to buy a water pick. Ones that kept me awake at night made me feel restless and invisible. I had some hard-core crushes that defined my life back in the day.

Stay tuned for that, and in the meantime, tide yourself over with the wealth of music and videos on the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Vampire Weekend's respective Zumic artist pages.Rainy nights and a full belly leaves little else to do but reminisce about long forgotten crushes. If anything, it will surely appeal to the "die-hard romantic junior high self" in all of us.Īpparently, this version of "The Moon Song" will appear (along with two other versions of the same song) on a three-song, iTunes-exclusive EP later this week. Their harmonies are pitch-perfect, and this version's sparse instrumentation (just a guitar and a piano) is done very tastefully. Spike's Her is the gift that keeps on giving."Įven if you haven't yet seen Her, "The Moon Song" still resonates as one of the most unabashed, sweet love songs we've heard from indie rockers like O and Koenig. Singing this song with Ezra felt like fulfilling a wish of my die-hard romantic junior high self. Ezra was super cool and open, he slipped into character like a champ and damn he's got the goods. I was really excited at the prospect of getting to record it with a male vocalist. "It's wild because 'The Moon Song' was written and recorded in the most humble of circumstances at my dining room table, a few paces away from the couch I read the script for Her for the first time. In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Karen O spoke about the song, her first Oscar nomination, and working with Koenig: Now, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs frontwoman has shared a new version, featuring Vampire Weekend's Ezra Koenig sharing vocal duties with her. The version of Karen O's "The Moon Song" that appeared in the film Her is one of five songs nominated for the "Best Original Song" category in this year's Oscars.
