The Raveonettes - She Owns The Streets

As The Raveonettes continue to prep their forthcoming album, Observator, set to release on September 11, the Danish duo drops off one of the work’s featured tracks, titled “She Owns The Street.” You can enjoy the lighthearted delivery below, but before you do, see what Sune Rose Wagner had to say regarding the single.

The real people I’d met and experiences I had over the last year in NY and Venice, CA all bled into these new songs. ‘She Owns The Streets’ for example is about a New York City street dancer. I’ve noticed her before dancing wildly on Bowery, running crazily in the street among the cabs and horrified passers-by. A friend of mine introduced me to her and we struck up a friendship. In 20 minutes I had written a song about the pleasures and pitfalls of being perceived as either a drug-crazed girl or an insane individual, simply because she dares to defy the laws of civility and conformity. Isolation can be a wonderful thing, but it doesn’t afford you this kind of inspiration.
