Real Fur - The Fool

Favorite lyrics: Will I catch the fool who catches you? Will I hunt him down and run him through, or will I be the fool to fake a smile as I watch him take you down the aisle?

The bass line for The Fool carries the song and sets the whole mood - and with sporadic, funky guitar riffs and random silence, it's pretty diverse. Even though it feels like something that could blasted on the beach, the lyrics have a melancholy feel. The music video also has its own kind of desperation and beauty. The mix of the song, about a man with a frantic need to to keep someone around, versus the video, with a girl violently determined to get away from something that's holding her back, is a kind of musical and visual contradiction that works really well.
