On February 21st Cursive will release their seventh full-length album, I Am Gemini, which is the musical tale of twin brothers Cassius and Pollock who were separated at birth. Frontman Tim Kasher says that the album's lead track – the guitar-driven, catchy "The Sun and Moon" – is an integral part of the album's story. "'The Sun and Moon' unveils the first time the estranged twin brothers of the story meet, providing an introduction to the theme of duality that is explored throughout I Am Gemini," Kasher says.

“Youth Knows No Pain”

Lykke Li | 2011

“Like on 'Youth Knows No Pain' — we are the ones that should demonstrate, because we can take it,” Likke Li said. “We can pierce ourselves, take Ecstasy, dance all night and still go to work at our McDonald's jobs.” Despite the hedonistic sentiment in the song, the Swedish singer also admitted in hindsight her youth had repercussions. “I remember when I was 18-19 and feeling that I know it all,” Li said. “I always feel that I know it all. But that song is about realizing you don’t, and reflecting, ‘Boy, if I only knew what would follow.’”
