about

This is the sound of a troubled courtship, from its hesitant, awkward, occasionally dissonant beginnings to the point when everything starts to come together. Harmony and union are represented in the most literal fashion by piling on instruments one at a time. The title refers to the innate quality in a girlfriend or boyfriend that draws you in -- sure, you can say all the clichés about how they're smart, funny, pretty, what have you, but it's really just something about them, how they move, breathe, and exist in the world that makes all the stumbling to get there worthwhile.

lyrics

there's an awful lot to do here
but not so you could tell
we learn what we can from TV
and we put ourselves through hell
let's wait until we shouldn't drive
and then we'll both attack
but every time I left alone
there's a reason I looked back

it's in the way you move yourself around
it's in the way you move yourself around

but now that that's over
you say, "I feel bad, you see --
there must be someone out there now
who needs you more than me"
but I've tasted every lick
that you've run across your lips
and I know there's nothing else
that I'd trade for this

it's in the way you move yourself around
it's in the way you move yourself around

The Napoleon of Crime Washington, D.C.

"He is the Napoleon of crime, Watson. He is the organizer of half that is evil and of nearly all that is undetected in this great city. He is a genius, a philosopher, an abstract thinker. He has a brain of the first order . . . My horror at his crimes was lost in my admiration at his skill." -- Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, "The Final Problem" ... more
