[mp3] Emily Haines & The Soft Skeleton – Doctor Blind

It’s an older song, an older album and has really no new news to report but I am obsessively listening to this track today and had to share the track and video with you.

Emily Haines (Metric, Broken Social Scene) put out a record back in 2006 called Knives Don’t Have Your Back. It’s an incredible record through and through. Gorgeous layering, lyrics and strings. It’s dark but strong. It’s one of my favorite records from that year.

Doctor Blind Lyrics:

The:

1.Lack of Light
2.Hollow Sea
3.Poison Beaches
4.Limousines
5.Toothless Dentists
6.Cops That Kill

my baby’s got the lonesome lows
don’t quite go away overnight
doctor blind just prescribe
the blue ones

if the dizzying highs
don’t subside overnight
doctor blind just prescribe
the red ones

aaaaaahhhhhhhhh

hard to hold
cold to touch
fall to pieces
treat the rush in hindsight
with prime time talk

all your pain
will end here
let the doctor
soothe your brain, dear

my baby’s got the lonesome lows
don’t quite go away overnight
doctor blind just prescribe
the blue ones

if the dizzying highs
don’t subside overnight
doctor blind just prescribe the red ones

aaaaaahhhhhhhhh
