"I Love the Valley OH!" - Xiu Xiu

Warning...a pretty harsh song. Not for the faint of heart or close-minded, but what I love about the song is that it has tons and tons of heart and emotion. Think about what would drive a person to write and sing a song that is so abrasive. When I first heard this song I was blown away by how "in-your-face" this song is. For me, it's all about the singer's tone accompanied by the pounding drum that sounds like a stomping military parade. It is such a cacophony of sounds, noises, screeches and pounding drums. I just love it to death. To me it's a very liberating song.

"
That's a heart that you made
That's a heart and the both of you made it
And I won't rest until I break it."
