Here is the first real feel for what Feist will deliver on her upcoming release, Metals. Out October 4th, on Arts & Crafts, the pre-release frenzy has been going for weeks now with teaser (annoying) videos, but that has been eclipsed by audio of the first single slipping out late Thursday night.

How come you never go there?
How come I'm so alone there?
How come you never go there?
How come I'm so alone there?
I went up to your window
lightning banging on the cymbals
I looked into the light
came storming to your eyes
my horse had worked the fields too long
my bear had lost his innate calm
it's true enough x x
x x x x x x
our love is not the light it was
when i walk inside the dark come come
where we look for where it went
it's only echos in the melody x x x
how come you never go there
how come i'm so alone there
(guitar)
how come you never go there
how come i'm so alone there
waste time and blame a week without
waste energy i'm too x x x
we're living proof we gotta let go
and stop looking through the lay low
you carry on as if our time is through
you carry on as if i don't love you
and so we find the way x x x
to cover x x x without a doubt now
the rooms full our eyes are empty
like the letters never sent me
x x x x x
you're an instrumental too
BRIDGE
(horns)
how come you never go there
how come i'm so alone there
how come you never go there
how come i'm so alone there
how come you never go there
how come i'm so alone there
how come you never go there
how come i'm so alone there
... to be continued?
