Song Review
Tonight’s track comes from the Canadian singer/songwriter Carl Newman, and his solo project A.C. Newman. Like a Hitman, Like a Dancer can be found as the 3rd song on Newman’s second solo album Get Guilty, released on January 20th, 2009. Canadian indie aficionados will likely recognize Newman as the primary songwriter for the Canadian supergroup The New Pornographers. If you haven’t heard anything from The New Pornographers before, feel free to check out a song I posted from the band here.
Like a hit man,
Oh, Like a dancer
All muscle.
Like the old champion about to go under
I owe my soul
Like a changed man
But not a changed man
You’re gonna change sides
But you wanted to wait
Like a fourth wall
A car chase on a blue screen
All eyes roll.
Like a snowfall that blankets the city
Swallowed whole.
Like a changed man
But not a changed man
You’re gonna change sides
But you wanted to wait
Like a hit man
Oh, like a dancer
All muscle
Like a balancing act or a stage whisper
It’s all I know.
Like a changed man
But not a changed man
You’re gonna change sides
But you wanted to wait
Like a hit man,
Oh, like a dancer
