A bi-coastal Interpol Song.

We are all waiting for Interpol' s new album, aren't we... 10.07.2007

The new single, The Heinrich Maneuver alludes to a bi-coastal/transcontinental/long distance relationship.

If you have been in one, I think you will identify with Paul Bank's rather straightforward and candid lyrics, compared to his beyond-metaphorical lyrics in Antics (Touch your thighs, I'm the lonely one (Narc) )

Now try the brakes
I tried but you know it's a lonely ride
How're the things on the west coast?

Today my heart swings
Yeah today my heart swings

But i don't want take your heart
And i don't want a taste of victory
No i don't want to read your thoughts anymore
My god

I think Banks captured the fluxes, the gradual decline and death and post-death issues of a relationship so succinctly.

And, yes. Don't all our hearts swing sometimes :)
