Taani Ester-Monday

 

It's been a crazy week with the semester beginning again while finishing term papers at the last minute (I've become a shameful expert on requesting extensions) and this song was just what I needed to give me an energy boost and a good laugh. With all my problems at least I don't have a baby to take care of but this power couple makes it look really fun. I've heard the name Taani Ester (Answer me Ester) quite a lot but have never really gotten around to seeing them live or hearing their material. I caught up on their debut album today http://taaniester.bandcamp.com/ and loved the pop (real pop!) sounds and quirky lyrics. Here's a clip (part of the excellent Indie City videos) of them strolling and performing on Rothschild Boulevard. I also love the direction they're taking with their new single. Probably the coolest song about Monday that I know. *Cultural note: In Israel the week starts on Sunday (blah), though I can't really explain why Tuesday is like Thursday :)

Friday is uncomfortable, Saturday is for resting
Tuesday feels like Thursday
And on Wednesday feeling sad, Sunday.

Friday is uncomfortable, Saturday is for resting
Tuesday feels like Thursday
And on Wednesday feeling sad, Sunday is getting close.

And on Monday you and I are in a bubble
And enjoy thinking of next Monday
And on Monday you and I are in a bubble
When asleep dreaming of next Monday
When you abandon you make me a fool I start seeing more sounds

Emotions are getting empty, logic is slipping away
On Monday you and I are in bubble
And enjoy thinking of next Monday
On Monday you and I are in a bubble
When asleep dreaming of next Monday

As long as there is flame, no one will destroy Monday for us.
