According to Merge, at their initial studio session the two “were immediately struck by one another’s talents and found an instant rapport". During a conversation about their shared love of old records, Zooey let slip that she wrote her own songs, which she recorded alone at home on her computer. Somewhat shy about sharing these musical morsels, she was eventually persuaded to send them to M. Ward. He was instantly impressed, and they soon reconvened at his studio in Portland to begin work. Recorded over a period of several months, between acting work (She) and touring commitments (Him), the pair found time to bring Zooey’s fledgling songs to gorgeous fruition

She & Him Lyrics
There's thieves among us, painting the wall
With all kinds of lies, the lies I never told at all
What's in my pocket? You never knew
You didn't know me well, so well as I knew you
And I know and you know too
That love like ours is terrible news
But that won't stop me crying
No, that won't stop me crying over you
I'm not a prophet, old love is in me
New love just seeps right in and makes me guilty
Why do you look like that? It's not all that bad
I'll see you sometime, sometimes lonely isn't sad
And I know and you know too
That love like ours is terrible news
But that won't stop me crying
No, that won't stop me crying over you
We two are makers, just made this mess
Two broken hearts don't break any less
There's thieves among us, painting the walls
With all kinds of lies, the lies I never told at all
And I know, and you know too
That love like ours is terrible news
But that won't stop me crying
That won't stop me crying over you
No, that won't stop me crying over you

I feel like people sometimes forget about the & Him part. Love M. Ward
sad cucumber
Listening to this song makes me feel like I'm in a Wes Anderson movie
Clint Kaiser
Maybe you are...
Bob Doubter
Good insight. Speaking of W. Anderson it has been awhile since his last movie. He should cast Zooey.

+sad cucumber IKR!! My favorite is The Life Aquatic. I would usually say something relatable but I don't want to spoil anything in case you havent watched it

I really like Zooey. She's really talented and kind of warm, cute and feminine. She has a sort of gentle aura around her, but she also comes across as someone who sticks to her guns and is a very smart, hardworking business woman who understands how things work. I have a strong respect for that. I dig the fact that she stays true to her style unlike so many other celebrities nowadays. She seems cool all in all. Big blue eyes are a bonus.

Boy you nailed every single thing I think about her too... She's awesome in her own unique way! <3

all true, but probably should ask Ben Gibbard for his opinion (Big Black Sun) :/
Tighe Carroll
a 'sort of gentle aura'. well said, she does seem to have that.
