Bonus Track! She & Him ~ Don't Look Back

This video just came out, like, ten days ago...and I think She and Him will be "The Band That Changed My Life," at least for 2011. So, I had to share this extra song today...also, 'cause I've put a lot of She and Him out this month, and a lot of Workout Mixes this week, so I feel like my readers and myself just need a BONUS!

She & Him - Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?

You know those days when you just need a good "pick me up"?  She & Him is that "pick me up!"  Not that I need a pick me up today, but in case you do, ENJOY!

Ok, well, it's not Ridin' In My Car, which is a happier tune, but this one is fairly light-hearted as well.  Especially considering it's subject matter!Only Zooey Deschanel and Matt Ward could make unrequited love sound so good.  It reminds me of those pop songs from the fifties and sixties...I love it!

Day 105: She & Him ~ In the Sun

On the website for She & Him, guitarist Matt Ward talks about their music:
"There are a lot of people who write music so that they can take their audience to a dark night of their own soul or to get something really heavy off their chest. I don’t think Zooey (Deschanel, the singer and songwriter) looks at music that way, and I think that’s a huge part of where her songwriting is coming from. Certain people write songs to make other people feel good. When I think about some of my favorite singers, like Sam Cooke or people of that generation, I think that they saw their gift as the ability to make people feel better, to feel happy. It’s contagious to be around people like that."

I first heard this dynamic duo while watching (500) Days of Sunshine. Now there's a GREAT soundtrack! Then, I read an article on them in Bust. Needless to say, I've been addicted since then. I love shiny happy songs!!!
