If the storylines here are little battles, the war is a species-wide struggle for connection. By necessity, humanity offers itself up to heartbreak. The record contains Feist’s duos with some vocalists refining Open Season. Put another way: To be happy we need love, but we get sad when our loves leave us. Leslie Feist and her producers felt that the audience did not get enough of her sophomore effort and released a collection of remixes, collaborations, and other new songs. With these images together, Feist is illuminating one of the most forceful thematic undercurrents of Metals, the tragedy of all relationships-the fact of inevitable separation. A widower nuzzles his elderly dog as a vet euthanizes the animal. Two guys compete to dance with the same girl and then the winner looks apologetically at his buddy from across the dance-floor.
A girl hides in the shadows to watch her parents argue. A boy befriends a chicken and watches his new friend roast. After an intentional hiatus from her junior album The Reminder, Leslie Feist did some soul searching before erupting our eardrums and souls with her latest (and might I add highly anticipated) album, Metals released October 3rd. The characters here are lonely and in pain. While the original song describes one relationship shutting down, this supplemental picture-show barrages us with varied snatches of muddling relations. The film braids several vignettes into one narrative lace which the music traces. The video was directed by Martin de Thurah and filmed in Mexico.įeist has described the video as “a symphony of Betweens,” about “all the quiet internal battles that guide our actions, all the hopes and struggles we suppress or let carry us away.”
Leslie Feist has released a music video for “The Bad in Each Other,” the album opener for her recent album, Metals.
