Everybody Talks

| We wear black in the desert... We're just that Badass |
Oh damn, a happy upbeat song. I told you what goes down eventually comes up. Perhaps that's not how that saying goes. Anyway, I like it. It's cheerful and it reminds me of that giddy feeling when you're first starting to get to know a cute guy, especially when in high school. What's that called? Puppy love. Did I mention it begins with a quartet-style harmony? F*cking Bad*ss. Sorry, I kind of wish barbar-shop quartets still roamed the streets...I think it would make life more magical with the power of live music. I know. I have issues. Neon Trees is pretty awesome, as are their ideas for music videos. The make-up for "Animal" was hardcore. The "Everybody Talks" video is animated. And involves a Ouija board and the band plays a gaggle of ghosts. You can pinpoint the symbolism of that--a guy trying to get a girl's attention feels invisible so he starts hiding in her attic playing loud music. I know that's the way to my heart. Video after the jump.
