Music Monday #31: Feel It In My Bones

On this Music Monday I want to bring you another Tegan and Sara song. I know, I know, I talk about them all the time, but bear with me.

Tegan and Sara started out making kinda folksy acoustic music, then they turned rockier, then they had a peculiar rock/pop mix album and a weird dark pop album, only to release their newest record, Sainthood, which I would describe as intelligent pop music with electronica influences. As you can see, I am clueless as to how to describe them, but it’s apparent that their music keeps evolving and changing, and so it’s not entirely out of character for them to collaborate with Tiësto on a track off of his recent album, Kaleidoscope.

The song is very dancey and electronic, and – more importantly – very catchy. It’s called Feel It In My Bones, and started out as an instrumental track that Tiësto sent them, and Tegan and Sara ended up writing the lyrics for it [source]. Later, they ended up recording a video for it – which, as I understand it, gets played in the background on big screens when Tiesto plays the song live.

The video fits the song nicely and is pretty much exactly the kind of video you’d expect for a song like that. I think it’s very well done, except maybe for a little bit too much make-up. But do judge for yourself:

You can download the video with Keepvid. And you can look on YouTube for some acoustic live performances of the song.

Lyrics:

Feel It In My Bones by Tegan & Sara and Tiesto

Blow by blow, I didn’t see it coming
Blow by blow, sucker punch
Rushes in
Here to stay
Rushes in
You are here to stay

What rushes into my heart and my skull I can’t control
Think about it, feel it in my bones
What rushes into my heart and my skull I can’t control

I feel you in my bones
You’re knocking on my windows
You’re slow to letting me go
And I know this feeling oh-so
This feeling in my bones

Left hook, I didn’t see it coming
Left hook, you’ve got dead aim
Rushes out
Run away
Rushes out
You always run away

What rushes into my heart and my skull I can’t control
Think about it, feel it in my bones
What rushes into my heart and my skull I can’t control

I feel you in my bones
You’re knocking on my windows
You’re slow to letting me go
And I know this feel oh-so
This feeling in my bones

I feel you in my bones
You’re knocking on my windows
You’re slow to letting me go
And I know this feeling oh-so
This feeling in my bones

I feel it in my bones
At night my skull feels pressure
I feel it in my bones
I feel it in my bones
I feel you in my bones

You’re knocking at my windows
You’re slow to letting me go
And I know this feeling oh-so
This feeling in my bones

I take a breath, take a breath with me blow by blow
I take a break, take a break from you, you are here to stay
I take my heart out of my chest, I just don’t need it anymore
Take my head out of the game, I just don’t need it anymore

Take a breath, take a breath with me blow by blow
Take a break, take a break from you, you are here to stay
I take my heart out of my chest, I just don’t need it anymore
Take my head out of the game, I just don’t need it anymore

I feel you in my bones
You’re knocking at my windows
You’re slow to letting me go
And I know this feeling oh-so
This feeling in my bones
