The Raveonettes – “Recharge & Revolt” Video / Buy

“When I’m terrified I close my eyes / When I’m sad and blue I choose to fight / Heartbreak only can take you to the other side.” I used to think that thunder was a hunter in the sky, armed with the wildest aim. My grandparents would place a pillow over my head on rainy days because they thought I was a target for lightning – an old superstition they believed was true of children having two crowns on their head. It’s why I’m still terrified when I hear its sound crashing against the window.
