Ice Age by David Byrne and St. Vincent

All previous optimism for summer occuring is currently buried under six inches of snow. Did you know I have a sister who lives in California? California! When I talk to her, she is warm, and goes to farmers' markets. I hate this spring, but love this giant:

The live footage of this song below is poor quality, but showcases nicely the brass that I love about this song:

And now a cathartic posting of the lyrics.  Lyrics courtesy of songmeanings.net:

Oh diamond,
How we've been
Oh diamond,
It's such a shame
To see you this way, freezing it out
Your own little ice age

Ice Age

Oh diamond,
Get out of bed
All of your tend
Seams are showing
And you're freaking me out, freezing it out
Your own little ice age

Ice Age

We won't know just what we lost until your winter thaws

Oh diamond,
Where have you been
It's close to your bones
It's far from your shell
So feel it away, reason it out
In your own little ice age

Thaw me out, Thaw me out

I would like to replace the word 'diamond' with 'spring'. Oh spring, it's such a shame. To see you this way, freezing it out... and you're freaking me out.  We won't know just what we lost until your winter thaws. Thaw me out, indeed. I was never meant to be a Minnesotan.
