Lovers of eclectic music videos, this is for you. It's also a very good electronic song , from one of the most underrated female artists I know. What's A Girl To Do's video has elements from Donnie Darko, from David Lynch's Lost Highway and some weird, original dreamlike logic. If you like this song, she had many many good ones and also two albums out. It's weird, I have a hard time reading female writers, but female singers work their number on me quite easy. Bat For Lashes's real name is Natasha Khan. She's that weird bohemian girl/musician you wish you knew. He's been compared to Tori Amos and Bjork, but to me her music is a lot more interesting. Here are the lyrics if you're interested:
Bat For Lashes - What's A Girl To Do
We walked arm in arm
But I didn't feel his touch
A desire I'd first tried to hide,
That tingling inside was gone
And when he asked me:
'do you still love me?'
I had to look away
I didn't want to tell him
That my heart grows colder with each day
When you love someone
But the thrill is gone
And your kisses at night
Are replaced with tears
And when your dreams are wrong
???
Then I ask you now, what's a girl to do?
He said he'd take me away
That we'd work things out
And I didn't want to tell him
But it was then I had to say
Over the times we've shared
It's all blackened out
And my bat lightning heart
Wants to fly away
When you love someone
But the thrill is gone
And your kisses at night
Are replaced with tears
And when your dreams are ?
???
Then I ask you now, what's a girl to do?
What's a girl to do? x3
But I didn't feel his touch
A desire I'd first tried to hide,
That tingling inside was gone
And when he asked me:
'do you still love me?'
I had to look away
I didn't want to tell him
That my heart grows colder with each day
When you love someone
But the thrill is gone
And your kisses at night
Are replaced with tears
And when your dreams are wrong
???
Then I ask you now, what's a girl to do?
He said he'd take me away
That we'd work things out
And I didn't want to tell him
But it was then I had to say
Over the times we've shared
It's all blackened out
And my bat lightning heart
Wants to fly away
When you love someone
But the thrill is gone
And your kisses at night
Are replaced with tears
And when your dreams are ?
???
Then I ask you now, what's a girl to do?
What's a girl to do? x3
