    SWITCHABLE CITY.
    Shot by Elvira Lind. Original song performed by Oscar Isaac and Bruce Ferguson of NIGHTLAB
    Lyrics:
    Out on the balcony, lights shinning up from the city
    The city below.
    Down in the subway car, steps thunder down from the alleys above
    But its just you and me.
    I catch your breath, I hold it in my weakening hands.
    Protect it from the mists rising from the sewer gates.
    Out on the frozen streets, the echo of a thousand feet
    Strangers pass by.
    Down in dark tunnels, headlights flash and rumble by
    But its just you and me.
    I breathe your breath, I fold it in my withering lungs.
    I dream it from your lips, form it in well worn shapes.

    Isaac says he’s not a musician, but he sings with the passion of my favorite musicians, so I’d have to disagree with him. It’s comforting how humble he is about his genuine talent.

      I absolutely agree. Guy's too humble, but it's true. I feel like the word 'musician' applies to anyone who delivers soulful, honest performances like his.

      Too bad it cannot be downloaded, I'd listen to NightLab all the time. It's the perfect "stuck on a train" music. :( And if they ever tour Europe (doubt it..Oscar is too busy), I'll make sure to see at least one show.

    He's an incredibly talented actor but I hope even after he makes it big in Hollywood - which he has - he'll continue to make music with the band and do small intimate gigs. I hope to see him on stage one day. And please do a Broadway play or musical! ( Hello from Singapore. :))

    Im sad again for you, your mind with whats come. Your so good and everyone loves you that you meet. But their loves, the traps for fools. Like Nike flying to high...we melt in your light. But you dont anymore. Apostolic friend of old, why would you? Your a Man my boy, my friend. If the past is a clue or clues for a future. Play them as sounds to me the felings are mutual. (Nods) I believe in you. Good work. Not good job. (Funny) theres a difference. Later ya will find it.
