::Names Week:: Mister Heavenly - Charlyne

Mister Heavenly is a new hodgepodge of musicians from Man Man, Modest Mouse and The Islands and one actor you may have heard of before. The awkward king of everything indie, Michael Cera on bass. The strange combination makes for a great supergroup though. Nick Thornburn's (The Islands) soft crooning voice paired with Honus Honus' (Man Man) rough growl make for an interesting vocal sound.

This song "Charlyne," is a reverby rock'n'roll doo wop song that beckons back to songs like "Sandman" or anything by Chuck Berry. I'm really looking forward to see where this band goes because they show a lot of promise. Lyrically its about that girl who you just can't get away from no matter how hard you try, even though you know she'll ruin you. Come on we all know one.

 Behind every single heartbeat
is another unsung malady
You don't know, but you hum along like you do
Play the fool

You thought you could learn to love me and rule me
and hide all your sorrows in a Harley
and get all your kicks off acting crazy
When push comes to love,
you just ain't strong enough to let it go

Before you know it,
you're wrapped up in her web

Before you know it,
you're way in over your head

Before you know it,
you're finally in her bed

In the middle of the night,
in the middle of the street,
and you tear your hair
and you burn your sheets

Screaming
Charlyne, Charlyne! (x4)
and I always play the fool for Charlyne
