Song Review
Listened On comes to us from the Vancouver-based indie-rock duo of Amber Webber and Joshua Wells, and their side-project Lightning Dust; Webber and Wells’ full-time project is the Canadian indie/psych-rock ensemble known as Black Mountain. This particular tune can be found on the band’s self-titled 2007 debut effort, and would go on to reach #1 on CBC’s R3-30 in September of 2007. The band followed-up this release with their sophomore album Infinite Light, released on August 4th of this year. Presently, the band is on the last leg of a European tour that is set to wrap up in Lausanne, Switzerland next Tuesday; the remaining tour stops are posted below.

Heard the sound from miles away
and it thumped in my ear like a drum
I was picked out of everyone, so listened on
took me out of a passion I’d imagined and sent me out on a search
If it hadn’t rained so hard that night I could have made it to your house by 1
But sometimes when you’re walking alone you feel your mind start to lose control
and I felt like a vicious joke
would have killed me all the way home
We were running through the night so fast but none of us could catch up to you
day shone a little less light so you (?)
taught me how to follow my shadow
could have sunk me like a stone
but the stars shine brighter in the sky then the dust from the dirt below
But sometimes when you’re walking alone you feel your mind start to lose control
and I felt like a vicious joke
would have killed me all the way home
