She & Him - I Thought I Saw Your Face Today

She & Him (ampersand!) are one of music's greatest collaborations. Zooey Deschanel's baritone voice (maybe. correct me if i'm wrong here music majors) and M. Ward's rough voice are a great combination and when you throw in his virtuoso guitar stylings and her soulful, 50s songwriting you can't lose.

This track is an upbeat piano rumination on falling in love at the sight of someone. Her sorrowful yet playful voice lulls you in to the orchestra swells and swishy drums. The cheerfully sad mood of the song pops out especially  in the surprise whistle solo! Suprise! Whistle!

I thought I saw your face today 
but I just turned my head away 
Your face against the trees 
but I just see the memories 
as they come 
as they come 
And I couldn't help but fall in love again 
No I couldn't help but fall in love again 

I saw it glitter as I grew 
and love did what I never knew 
I thought this place was heaven sent 
but now it's just a monument 
in my mind 
in my mind 
And I couldn't help but fall in love again 
No I couldn't help but fall in love again 

The cars and freeways implore me to stay way out of this place 
My mother said just keep your head and play as it plays 

(whistling) 

The cars and freeways implore me to stay way out of this place 
My mother said just keep your head and play as it plays 

I somehow see what's beautiful in things that are ephemeral 
I'm my only friend, am I? 
Love is just a piece of time 
in the world 
in the world 
And I couldn't help but fall in love again 
No I couldn't help but fall in love again 
No I couldn't help but fall in love again 
No I couldn't help but fall in love again 
No I couldn't help but fall in love again
