The Pains of Being Pure At Heart's 2009 self-titled debut album was truly an out-of-nowhere smash, garnering widespread acclaim from the likes of The New York Times ("sensitive and sublime, Best of 2009), Pitchfork (Best New Music, Best of 2009) and NME ("pure indiepop to hold close to your heart," Best of 2009) to countless indiepop forums and blogs, and landing the band a dedicated following that endures to this day. 2011 follow-up "Belong" aimed for the starts and hit the mark resoundingly, full to the brim with monster tunes and polished to powerful perfection by the production and mixing team of Flood (Depeche Mode, U2) and Alan Moulder (Smashing Pumpkins, Jesus and Mary Chain, Ride). The combination was a resounding success, vaulting the Pains to a spot in the alt-rock firmament rarely reached by indiepop bands and cementing their status as one of the seminal guitar-pop bands of the era.

Lyrics:

Maybe I'd be better off in Berlin
Or as an artist’s muse in London
Drifting from hand to hand
Maybe I was born to be a sailor,
Drop my anchors in Antigua
As a travelling fisherman

But I am home wherever you are near
There's no life in anything
When you're not here

What could take my love away?

Maybe I was destined for philosophy
Leading leftist ideologies
At the Paris-Sorbonne
Dreaming up the splendid demise
Of the societies we despise
At Cafe de Flore

But these things lose all their meaning
And allure
If you're not there to
Witness the grandeur

What could take my love away?

Maybe we'll be missionaries in the Congo
Revolutionaries in Cuba
Perhaps we'll build a home
In the shadows of the forest
Along the east coast, or the west coast
I forget where we decided

As long as I'm with you when we do it
I could trade the views in
For any pallet

Nothing can take my love away
Nothing can take my love away

The Cavalcade - Meet You in the Rain
