UPDATE : Here’s a video of them singing the song:
The highly anticipated new album from My Morning Jacket, Evil Urges, hit the stores this week and on it is a sweet little ballad of desire called “Librarian.”
Here is a sample of the lyrics:
walk across the courtyard
towards the library
I can hear the insects buzz and
the leaves ‘neath my feet
ramble up the stairwell, into the hall
of books
since we got the interweb these
hardly get used
looking for a lesson in the
periodicals
there I spy you listening to the AM
radio…
it’s not like you’re not trying, with a
pencil in your hair
to defy the beauty the good lord
put there
simple little bookworm-buried
underneath
is the sexiest librarian…take off
those glasses and let down your hair for me
so I watch you through the bookcase
imagining a scene
you and I at dinner, spending time,
then to sleep…
These guys are good.
