This week’s episode of The L Word (509: Liquid Heat), ended with an amazing sequence that cross-cut the characters during a heat wave power blackout. The intensity of the erotic ending was greatly enhanced with music by Freezepop, an American synthpop band, whose song ‘Swimming Pool’ is by far the most moving piece of music I have heard in years.
Have a listen:
Freezepop - Swimming Pool - lyrics
Late at night, the air was cool
We snuck into the swimming pool
You dove headfirst, I waded in
The scent of chlorine upon our skin
The stars were bright, the water clear
I felt your heat as you swam near
I held my breath, you held my hand
Moving away, further from land
The moon was full, everything blue
The water stilled, reflecting you
Floating right here with you next to me
Gazing at stars, we drift silently
Late at night, the air was cool
We snuck into the swimming pool
I went under and you followed
Let’s not think about tomorrow
Everything is perfect now (x8)
Everything is perfect now - I held my breath
Everything is perfect now - You held my hand
Everything is perfect now - Moving away
Everything is perfect now - Further from land
Everything is perfect now - The stars were bright
Everything is perfect now - The water clear
Everything is perfect now - I felt your heat
Everything is perfect now - As you swam near
Everything is perfect now (x4)
This track is from Freezepop’s ’Future Future Future Perfect’ album. You can buy it here.
What I want is for you to write ‘fuck me’ on your chest. Write it! Do it! And then I want you to walk out that door, and I want you to walk down the street. And anybody that wants to fuck you, say ‘Sure, sure, no problem.’ And when they do, you have to say ‘Thank you very, very much’ and make sure that you have a smile on your face. And then, you stupid fucking coward, you’re gonna know what it feels like to be a woman!
