Oren Lavie’s “Her Morning Elegance”
March 1, 2009
This song’s been haunting me for days. I was driving the first time I heard it, and had that fun hypnotic feeling I get when I KNOW it’s the first time I’ve heard a song, but it seems obvious that it’s my favorite. Just so familiar. I pictured it in a black and white Paris kind of way, ad was a little bit surprised by the bright, quick video. But it’s growing on me.
There’s actually a presentation on the video when I’m at SXSW IA in Austin in 2 weeks, and I may well have to go.. There’s one on Fleet Foxes “Winter Hymnal” too, and I think we all know how I feel about Fleet Foxes, LOL.
We’re supposed to have a rare freak March DC snowstorm tomorrow, which makes sense because I’m supposed to go to NY on Monday to see the fabulous Diane Birch. Why, universe, why? I’m crossing my fingers that the weather is spot wrong.
Enjoy Oren:

Since I’m new to your blog, I don’t exactly know how you feel about Fleet Foxes but I’m guessing it’s pretty similar to how I feel about them
I love this song. It will probably make my top 10 for the weekend. Thanks for sharing!
Hopefully the weather is wrong. I’m in NY. A few days ago, I was walking around coatless…today, my pipes are frozen. WTF,Mama Nature?

I did not know of your Fleet Foxes fondness. I love you more than ever. I wrote about FF at the Towers a bit ago but am too lazy to search and link. Let it be known that I love them.
