Music Monday: Feist

I want to start of this music sharing strong, so I'm going to post more than one.

This next song, 1,2,3,4, is by Feist.  Leslie Feist is a Canadian singer-songwriter.  I think her voice is lovely, and she writes music that is simple, yet beautiful. This song is from the album The Reminder, 2007.

1234, tell me that you love me more
Sleepless long nights
That is what my youth was for
Old teenage hopes
Are alive at your door
Left you with nothing
But they want some more

Oh, you're changing your heart
Oh, you know who you are


Sweetheart, bitter heart
Now I can tell you apart
Cozy and cold
Put the horse before the cart

Those teenage hopes
Who have tears in their eyes
Too scared to own up to one little lie

Oh, you're changing your heart
Oh, you know who you are

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9 or 10
Money can't buy you back the love that you had then
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9 or 10
Money can't buy you back the love that you had then


Oh, you're changing your heart
Oh, you know who you are
Oh, you're changing your heart
Oh, you know who you are
Who you are, are, are

Before, before the teenage boys
They're breaking your heart
Before the teenage boys
They're breaking your heart

Feist on Sesame Street
Feist wrote and performed another version of this song for the children's TV program Sesame Street.  It is adorable.  Do children watch Sesame Street in Algeria?
NYC students: do you watch Sesame Street with your children?



1, 2, 3, 4 monsters walking 'cross the floor
I love counting, counting to the number four

Oh you're counting, counting with me
It's one less than five, and one more than three

Oh, we're counting to four
Oh, let's count some more

1, 2, 3, 4, penguins that went by the door
I love counting, counting to the number four

I see four here, I see four there
My favorite number, nothing can compare


Oh, we're counting to four
Oh, let's count some more

1, 2, 3, 4 chickens just back from the shore
I love counting, counting to the number four


Oh, we're counting to four
Oh, let's count some more
