The Weather Station, the project of Toronto-based Tamara Lindeman, released the music video for “Body Moves.”
This track serves as the third single from the upcoming album Humanhood, set to drop on January 17, 2025, via Fat Possum Records (outside of Canada) and Next Door Records (Canada).
A moving artsy pop rock tune and the music video is reminisced to Kate Bush’s Wuthering Heights.
About the track by Tamara:
“This song was the hardest song, we recorded it, changed everything, recorded it again, changed everything, recorded it again.
It had to be tender and bruised and painful; like falling into a dream but also into reality.
This was yet another song I rejected when I wrote it because I wasn’t sure how to stand behind it.
But then again, the song was simply presenting something that is real and that happens; the body fools you, the body moves you, sometimes in directions seemingly self destructive or painful or visceral.
Bodies are biological and so is their language; chemical, pain, impulse, shut down, wake up.
What matters is the interpretation, the response, whether or not you’re able to hear the signal at all.”
Co-directed by Lindeman and Philipe Léonard, the song’s video depicts what Lindeman calls “the two hemispheres of the mind.”
She explains, “One side is taking charge; moving with intention.
The other side is sort of drifting in and out of dreams and is more abstract.
At the centre is the actual self; in a state of confusion, being pulled by these two separate parts.
At times, all three selves coordinate and move together. At other times, they don’t.
The song describes being misled by the body; a part of you pulling in a different direction than the other.
The choreography reflects that; limbs moving with a mind of their own.”
