Béatrice has played the piano since the age of three, which was initiated by her mother, a professional pianist. She later played as a keyboardist in the post-hardcore band December Strikes First when she was 15 years old. In March 2007, after five years of music education, she started composing her own songs.
After a brief stint as keyboardist for Bonjour Brumaire, a French-Canadian Indie Rock/Indie Pop band, she released her solo debut album Cœur de pirate in 2008 on the Québécois independent record label Grosse Boîte. The album found much critical acclaim and was subsequently nominated for Francophone Album of the Year at the 2009 Juno Awards.
Heartbeats Accelerating
Cœur de Pirate Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Are you out there looking for me?
Love, love, where can you be?
Love, I am waiting
Heartbeats accelerating
Will you come when all is still
From the river or the hill
Love, I am waiting
Heartbeats accelerating
Will you come on a Saturday night
Maybe then the time will be right
Love, love, where can you be
Love, I am waiting
Heartbeats accelerating
When you steal into my room
What earthly body will you assume
Love, love, where can you be
Love, I am waiting
Heartbeats accelerating
Will you come on a Saturday night
Maybe then the time will be right
Love, love, where can you be
Love, I am waiting
Heartbeats accelerating
Love, love, where can you be?
Are you out there looking for me
Love, love, where can you be
Are you out there looking for me
Love, I am waiting
Heartbeats accelerating
Love, I am waiting
Heartbeats accelerating

For some reason this song popped up on my Modern Cello station on Spotify, which it doesn't even apply to that station. I've never heard it before and I had no idea it is a cover of a Linda Rondstat song. It's so peacefully indy rock pretty.

Rondstadt covered it. Originally sung by Kate and Anna McGarrigle. Kate is Rufus Wainwright’s mother. The original is also very nice.

The person who disliked this must hate beautiful things. I like this as much as the original, and more than the rather saccharine Ronstadt cover.
