Old Helium videos make me happy.

-Helium's video for "XXX"-I love Helium. They have to be my favorite band ever. Why? Because of the way Mary Timony plays guitar. Because of the lyrics and symbols in their music. Because of her soft yet striking whispers in the song "Skeleton" from the Dirt of Luck album.Pirate Prude and The Dirt of Luck are classics. My favorite thing about them is that sometimes the lyrics are mystical, sometimes they are hard-hitting and realistic. Sometimes they rhyme, sometimes they convey deep intelligence, and sometimes they are fun. Some of my favorite lines:"I am the devil / and here's my fist / I am evil / but I don't exit." - from "Ghost Car" (Pat's Trick single)"Everytime when you're near / my head goes clear / that's what you want to hear. Everything that I do / makes me want you / aren't I supposed to?" - from "What Institution Are You From?" (Superball+ single)"And you were in the backyard getting high / and I really don't care / and I don't know why." - from "Oceans of Wine" (The Magic City)"Did I tell you / that you can't get to heaven / in high heeled shoes? / You're such a loose little belle. / A fallen angel." - from "Skeleton" (Dirt of Luck)and let me not forget what is probably my favorite:"Dress up / your baby face. / He keeps telling you / that you're a space. / He keeps telling you / that you're a ditz. / and now you are / you know you feel / a little out of it." - from "Love $$$" (Pirate Prude)Hope you all enjoy the video. I love watching Mary Timony break things..
