about

First off, this is a song about a concept, an idea. Both concepts and ideas ARE things. Women are NOT "things". If you pay close attention to the lyrics, I only refer to stars and planets as things. The second verse refers to art and statues. Second, lesbians. I'm a guy and do find the "idea" or "concept" of two women romantically involved beautiful. Third, I'm not being sexist or perverted with the song. I don't know too many lesbians, personally, until a Halloween party I attended years ago. I thought it was awesome they were together so I wrote this song in response. Once I recorded the demo and released it on MySpace, one of the girls found out and was EXTREMELY flattered much to my surprise and initial embarrassment. A week later I was at a dance club with Foe drummer, Matt Higginbotham, who KNEW one of the girls and proceeded to introduce me to both. I was still embarrassed but they loved the song. So, this one's for you, ladies!

lyrics

At this very exact moment
Someone’s pressing the right buttons
Flicking switches, snatching lovers
Rhythmic breathing and white knuckles

It’s synchronous
Each time they touch
The stars are aligning
And Venus is coming
Two beautiful things

Classical and neo-modern
Text-book taboo into statue
Curving angles wrapped in linen
Sexy silken scene surround you

It’s synchronous
Each time they touch
The stars are aligning
And Venus is coming
Two beautiful things

about

The Enigmatic Foe Knoxville, Tennessee

With sharp lyrics, the playful pop bite of the best of the 70s and 80s, and the kind of self-deprecation usually reserved for a Woody Allen movie, Jared Colinger's lyrics run the gamut from the joy of new love to disillusionment with the old, from wanting to like yourself to being afraid of what we have in our minds.

The new music coming in 2023.
