the more i run the more i am convinced

i'm really digging passion pit. i've made everyone who has ventured near me while i was at a computer watch the video for sleepyhead, so of course when this new video for the reeling came out, it is time to share with the masses again. the reeling has received a lot of criticism for not living up to the expectations that sleepyhead set forth, but i disagree. passion pit is the next wet dream for the crowd who are over the cliches that mgmt presented but are still too caught up in them, regardless, to actually let go. i love mgmt, but all of their material is opposite ends of the spectrum - either really great or something i can live without. i think passion pit falls in the middle for me, and their lyrical content is a bit more engaging, in my opinion. that being said, enjoy this sweet ass video (and get a feel for what they are like live - because they are so high energy and so so so much fun)

we dug these holes we crawled into
now they're my home
now here i cannot feel the wind, can't feel the rain
and i believe in gentle harmony
how i loathe all this obscenity
is the way my life has got to be
by a single opportunity

look at me, oh look at me, is this the way i've always been
oh no, oh no
now i'm dreaming somebody would simply come and kidnap me
oh no, oh no
cause everyday i lie awake and pray to god today's the day
oh no, oh no
here i am, here i am, when will someone understand
oh no, oh no

and all at once i feel this, oh how it clings to me
it reels and calls me towards it, confounding destiny
and I can feel the magnets pinch my hands
the more i run the more i am convinced
a girl who loves
just like we settle in the foggy mist

look at me, oh look at me, is this the way i've always been
oh no, oh no
now i'm dreaming somebody would simply come and kidnap me
oh no, oh no
cause everyday i lie awake and pray to god today's the day
oh no, oh no
here i am, here i am, when will someone understand
oh no, oh no
