    The amazing thing about The Joy Formidable's music is that as soon as that guitar kicks in, or those drums or bass kicks in, it grabs you right in the middle of your chest and you're hooked, people who truly love music will understand that feeling when a song touches right in your throat, chest and stomach the feeling is so beautiful. I love this band they're are amazing both in the studio and live, I hope soon to have the experience of seeing them in there element, ROCKING THE FUCK OUT!!!!!

    Storytime: so I first found out about this band from Late Night with David Letterman. I was working a part-time job at the time minimum wage. I heard that they were going to be at this show not even 2 months from then. I was taking my mom to treatment during that time, and I was helping with the bills. So I didn't have much. Needless to say, it did not stop me from spending my money on tickets for my friend, myself, and for his friends to come with us. This was the first song they played when they showed. This was how the edge Stole Christmas 2011. One of the best memories of my life thus far.

    The music is great, her vocals are great, but for me, the thing that just makes this song absolutely beautiful is her enunciation. Every single word is so crisp and perfectly said.

    The Joy Formidable is my favorite band of all time.
    Here we are bending feet
    In the dark before dreamless sleep
    Cloaks that spot, that shiver, that breeze
    Throws you in the dark
    Happiness, it won't last long
    And this child behind stores it all
    The failed man's curse
    And the cost of nonchalance
    I thank you sly, watchful gene
    A plastic life up my sleeve
    If you've followed this far
    You've realized nothing
    Now your world is here
    Watch it disappear
    Abacus haunting me
    Abacus watching me
    Abacus haunting me
    Abacus watching me
    And it all plays out
    And it always comes around
    The message fades but the mess prevails
    You reckless thing leaving you in our hands
    Abacus haunting me
    Abacus watching me
    Abacus haunting me
    Abacus watching me
    All we have is this chance called memory
    (Haunting me)
    All we have is this chance called memory
    (Watching me)
    All we have is this chance called memory
    (Haunting me)
    All we have is this chance called memory
