Wild Beasts give much more than they take and with such an avuncular approach they’ve managed to attract our hearts’ most ardent desires; to be party to something boundless and beautiful.
The song Mecca, excised from the bands current album Present Tense, shimmers radiantly in video form under the direction of Kate Moross. This isn’t a matter of technological prowess. Ms. M creates, out of thin air, a dangerous and achingly beautiful magic.
It is easy to place Wild Beasts and their current collection of songs among the best of 2014. After the jump expose your ears to the beautiful spectacle that is the A Simple Beautiful Truth (East India Youth Remix) . This song resonates with an irresistible primitivism which adheres to the original DNA of our palpitating hearts and it lives there unresolved, seething and racked in a constant state of unsated hunger. Peace.
Mecca Lyrics
All we want is to feel that feeling again
Just a drop on the lips and we’re more than equipped
There is some thirst that’s gotta be quenched, yeah
All we want is to feel that feeling again
We didn’t reach a high it was always inside
We just coaxed it from the place it would hide.
(Chorus)
We move in fear, we move in desire
Now I know how you feel.
I’m a pilgrim, you’re the shrine to
All the lovers that loved before us
And breathed in this ether.
Where the body goes the mind will follow soon after.
(Verse)
Cause all we want is to know the vivid moment
Yeah, how we feel now was felt by the ancients
Yeah, all we want is to know the vivid moment
Just surrender your limbs to my every whim
Now we’re lovers, we are cartwheeling.
(Chorus)
We move in fear, we move in desire
Now I know how you feel.
I’m a pilgrim, you’re the shrine to
All the lovers that loved before us
And breathed in this ether.
Where the body goes the mind will follow soon after.
We’ve a Mecca now, weave a Mecca now, no less
To hold the other end of the thread. Hold on-
(Chorus)
We move in fear, we move in desire
Now I know how you feel.
I’m a pilgrim, you’re the shrine to
All the lovers that loved before us
And breathed in this ether.
Where the body goes the mind will follow soon after.
‘Cause, all we want is to feel that feeling again,
Yeah, all we want is to feel that feeling again.
