The Weather Station - Body Moves
The holidays... we're looking more inwards, and once New Year's Eve rolls around, outward again, with hope and expectations for what's ahead. The more I find Tara Lindeman's experience with writing and recording "Body Moves" fitting for for this special time of year. The frontwoman of The Weather Station says:
“This song was the hardest song, we recorded it, changed everything, recorded it again, changed everything, recorded it again. It had to be tender and bruised and painful; like falling into a dream but also into reality. This was yet another song I rejected when I wrote it because I wasn’t sure how to stand behind it. But then again, the song was simply presenting something that is real and that happens; the body fools you, the body moves you, sometimes in directions seemingly self destructive or painful or visceral. Bodies are biological and so is their language; chemical, pain, impulse, shut down, wake up. What matters is the interpretation, the response, whether or not you’re able to hear the signal at all.”
"Body Moves" and our previous feature, "Neon Signs," can be found on The Weather Station's upcoming album Humanhood, out January 17, 2025. Both songs together with the previous single, "Window," make me very much look forward to the record. "Body Moves," has an irresistibly quiet and super elegant feel - Tara Lindeman at her best!
