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.

I keep playing this song over and over and over. Both album and acoustic version are hauntingly beautiful.

Good stuff! Love the staircase vibe, acoustically correct mind you! Please stop out to Seattle!

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. :))

This song is perfect. The natural reverb in that stairwell is perfect as well.

I am so drawn to his voice it's unreal. The last time I was this affected by a specific voice was Robert Smith in 1989. Please tell me Oscar plans to record an album because he surely needs to get that gorgeous voice out there for all to hear. #Wow
