Last night I went to see Elefant play at the EARL. First off, I have a soft spot for any band named after elephants, and second of all the title of their album is: “Sunlight Makes Me Paranoid.”
If you read my top 20 list you will see they made it…The last time they played here they opened up for Interpol(they gets lots of comparisons to them), but I missed them, as I was late to the show. But, I think seeing them at the EARL was far superior. I feel they are more suited to a small, intimate venue, rather than the cavernous ROXY.
Elefant put on a good show, but what captures me most about them is there lyrics and melodies.
Elefant – Now That I Miss Her
(written by: Elephant)
When I first saw her, I knew that I loved her
When I said goodbye, I knew that I lost her
Now that I miss her, I wish I could kiss her
And tell her c’mon girl, you know that I need you
Chorus
And without her, it all feels the same
And without her, you got no one else to blame
I went to the movies and stared at the big screen
I thought that I saw her looking right at me
Chorus
And without her, it all feels the same
And without her, you got no one else to blame
But yourself, but yourself
And all I can do is just write a song about her
And hope that one day, hope that one day
She turns around, she turns around
I hear the phone ringing
I know that she’s calling
I hear her voice singing
And this is her answer
