Blog > Title: Zeigeist

Up until recently, my favorite song on The Knife’s Silent Shout was the album closer.  No, I’m not talking about “Still Light”.  My leaked copy of the album included a song called “F as in Knife” tacked on at the end (I own the CD, but never re-ripped it).  It was a decidedly upbeat dance track that could be described as the missing link between Deep Cuts and Silent Shout.

You can imagine my surprise, then, when I learned the other day that my favorite song on Silent Shout was neither by The Knife nor officially on that album.  The track is actually a Zeigeist song called “Tar Heart”.

While I still can barely believe that this isn’t a Knife song, I’ve had their 2008 album, The Jade Motel on repeat for days.  You can imagine their sound as Danger meets The Knife.  Or, you could listen to “Tar Heart” below!

I also just noticed the striking similarity to Kate Bush’s ’80s classic, “Running Up that Hill”.
