Here We Go Magic: How Do I Know
Here We Go Magic has become my Springtime soundtrack. On their latest effort, Luke Temple’s songs move by with ease. On “How Do I Know”, they refuse to satisfy your bass craving instead propelling forward with a bi-chordal structure, wonderful melody and handclaps.
A Different Ship is out now on Secretly Canadian pick up your copy now. They’re hitting the road real soon too.
“How do I know if I love you when I sure like your bread, the way that you tucker and straighten your bed? How do I know if I love you? How do I know if I know you when you come out clean from the shower, squeak to the touch and you smell like a flower? How do I know if I know you? Some men die in a fall, not trusting their nose to show them the way. Some men die in a fall, the sun ain’t no keeper in the pit of that day. How do I know if I love you when all these things come and go? You can’t stand them together in some neat little row so how do I know? How do I know if I know you if the light in your house isn’t on. I thought I heard movement but maybe I’m wrong so how do I know if I know you? How do I know if I love you, if you’ve drawn an imaginary line, the way that you’re walking, two steps behind, how do I know if I love you?”
