Even though Heartbeats is just a cover and was used for a commercial, it does wonders for the original song by ‘The Knife’ (look it up on youtube. You won’t believe how much better José González‘s version is). After you finish bouncing balls around make sure you listen to Crosses too. This guy is a brilliant singer/songwriter. Have a great 2012!

LyricsOne night to be confused
One night to speed up truth
We had a promise paid
Four hands and then awayBoth under influence
We had a divine sense
To know what to say
Mind is a razor bladeTo call for hands of above
To lean on
Wouldn’t be good enough
For me, noOne night of magic rush
The start a simple touch
One night to push and scream
And then reliefTen days of perfect tunes
The colors red and blue
We had a promise made
We were in loveTo call for hands of above
To lean on
Wouldn’t be good enough
For me, noTo call for hands of above
To lean on
Wouldn’t be good enoughAnd you, you knew the hand of the devil
And you, kept us awake with wolves teeth
Sharing different heartbeats
In one nightTo call for hands of above
To lean on
Wouldn’t be good enough
For me, noTo call for hands of above
To lean on
Wouldn’t be good enoughElliott Smith would have loved this:

LyricsDon’t you know that I’ll be around to guide you
Through your weakest moments to leave them behind you
Returning nightmares only shadows
We’ll cast some light and you’ll be alright
We’ll cast some light and you’ll be alright for nowCrosses all over, heavy on your shoulders
The sirens inside you waiting to step forward
Disturbing silence darkens your sight
We’ll cast some light and you’ll be alright
We’ll cast some light and you’ll be alright for nowCrosses all over the boulevard
Crosses all over the boulevard
Crosses all over the boulevard
Crosses all over the boulevardThe streets outside your window overflooded
People staring, they know you’ve been broken
Repeatedly reminded by the looks on their faces
Ignore them tonight and you’ll be alright
We’ll cast some light and you’ll be alright* * *
