15 Day Song Challenge - Your favorite song this month
The Juliets "Sweetheart"
There were the dragons of spring like our love hovering
There in the dragon playground I said your name out loud
The autumn you took me to hide away at the end of you
I faded out with the leaves I disappeared with the bees
Sweetheart, sweetheart, sweetheart
Sweetheart, sweetheart, sweetheart
I fired my little gun but Cohen proved your love
Peacocks in the Detroit snow hold what our hearts used to know
You made a fool of belief in the hope of you and me
What is reality when illusion is shining? Oh…
Sweetheart, sweetheart, sweetheart
Sweetheart, sweetheart, sweetheart
No one knows when past wounds will heal or debt will be paid
I can’t get back to sleep when the future shakes me awake
I fired my little gun but Cohen proved your love
Peacocks in the Detroit snow hold what our hearts used to know
Sweetheart, sweetheart, sweetheart
The Letter-The Juliets
I've been so into them lately and they're really underrated. You can get the album on Bandcamp (name your price basis) here!
The Juliets are all about quiet innovation. It seeps from the bows and strings of their mini-orchestra; it shows its face in lyrics that declare: “If it’s less what you do and it’s more what you know / I can’t wait on fashion because I’m ready to go.” Trailblazing through typical indie-rock convention, three of the five members are classically trained musicians (cellist, violinist, and drummer). It seems that their approach is one of technical know-how combined with a natural ability to forecast the currents of contemporary music. In other words, it’s obvious this band knows their shit.
Headlining Pianos on Saturday night (9/15) they made themselves right at home in the Lower East Side fixture. Opening their nine song set with little stage fanfare, they burst into the first song of the night, “Evolved Into,” which featured a pounding, up-tempo pace and set an easily followed precedent for the rest of the evening. The next song, “Hey Stars,” combined the grittiness of singer Jeremy Freer’s vocals with graceful moving parts of the violin and cello, lending to it an almost bohemian feel.

Drive You Home - The Juliets
This band was love at first listen when I first heard them open for a pseudo-friends band a couple years ago very shortly after they had released their first album. I know I've posted tons of their stuff before, but this song just came on and it completely destroys me every time, for reasons I have no comprehension of. SORRY I FEEL THINGS
The Juliets, Drive You Home
