There are three that have caught my ear as I trundle to and fro from the garden and elsewhere….one about a ‘nest egg’ AG Edwards & Co., I think, the piano piece just makes me smile….another is Arreva Energy, also catchy music, but the animated characters dancing at the close also makes me watch and the newest one, Ipod Nano, which you don’t learn until the end, but features a hand taking Ipod’s off the wall with a lovely girls voice, “one…two…three…four…uhohh, I love you…her voice just entrances me and I would love to know who is doing the voice over….

Any of those ring a bell with you?

Ah, Emperor....I am bubbling over with gratitude for that, listened to the song twice and just thrilled to it, thank you so much!

Canadian singer-songwriter Leslie Feist has achieved a new kind of fame as the result of her catchy song now used on the Ipod Nano commercials. I too was fascinated by the commercial from the first time I saw it. I watch it in a sort of daze, kaleidoscope colors flashing before my eyes as I listen to the evocative tune. And I don't even own an Ipod! (OK, I'm half proud to admit that and half ashamed of it.) Regardless, apparently I am not the only person who has been intrigued enough by the choice of song to go hunting for more information.

I often commute to Denton, Texas which is home to the University of North Texas -- a school well known for helping to produce artists and bands such as the Norah Jones, Midlake, and Bryce Isbell. In a meeting with some colleagues who are heavily into the music scene, I asked about the voice singing "1,2,3,4 tell me that you love me more" on the Nano commercial. The table fell silent and they stared at me in wonder. Finally, someone muttered that I had also once asked who "Radiohead" was and they all nodded sadly as though agreeing that I was probably mentally incapacitated. They told me that the song had been released ages ago (which turned out to mean a few months) and that the artist was Feist. They patiently reminded me how to navigate to the My Space site where they assured me I would learn more. Sometimes they underestimate me -- I already knew how to get to My Space, so there.

With a little research I learned that Feist has performed as a solo artist and in the Canadian band Broken Social Scene. A page that is listed as the official site has only a deliberately over-exposed photograph (presumably of Leslie Feist) and an image of a hand-scrawled note that explains why the site has gone offline. The note states that it is because "of my analogue mind and the fact(s) that I couldn't recognize myself in it" among other interesting comments. She goes on to say that the band will "keep basic facts on MYSPACE (benign /neutral) and try to breathe life into the robot." And, indeed, I was able to locate more info including concert dates and television appearances on the latter site.

Feist was born in 1976 in Nova Scotia and started in music at the age of 15 when she founded a punk band. The band won a Battle of the Bands competition which help launch Feist's career. Her debut solo album was released in 1999, though she recorded the more well known album, Let it Die, in Paris during 2002 and 2003. The album was a combination of indie rock and jazz and it gained international acclaim. Though Feist appeared in a variety of venues after the release and she recorded some lesser known works, some worried that the Let it Die album would end up being a one-of-a-kind treat that would never be followed up. Then, out of the blue, Feist recorded The Reminder by working in a rented home outside of Paris. It is rumored that the entire album was recorded in less than a week. It was on this album released in May of 2007 that the "1234" song first came out.

Just for the heck of it:



FEIST LYRICS

"1234"

One Two Three Four
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 bitterheart now I can tell you apart
Cosy 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

One, two, three, four, five, six, nine, or ten
Money can't buy you back the love that you had then
One, two, three, four, five, six, nine, or ten
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
Oh, who you are

For the teenage boys
They're breaking your heart
For the teenage boys
They're breaking your heart
