Just phone me.
FEATURED TRACK: 08. "Heels Over Head"

Ah yes - a happy song. A love song, even. Who knew. Arguably the most cheerful track on an otherwise rather brooding album, Heels Over Head is a personal account of being down and out and then finding someone who actually likes you.

Wolkenvelden - Heels Over Head (2.2MB MP3)

So you go about your business, you roll with the punches and stumble through the daily grind, and then you run into someone and bam, your world goes arse-about-face in an instant. No matter which way you slice it, meeting someone new is always going to throw you off kilter for some time. Blatantly stealing Respectfully borrowing a few lines from The Smiths' A Rush And A Push And The Land Is Ours, this song embodies a universally recognisable dilemma: an intense fear to commit on the one hand, versus an intense desire to connect with someone on the other. In other words: don't mention love, just phone me.
