Leslie Feist(born Friday, February 13, 1976 in Amherst, Nova Scotia) is a Canadian singer-songwriter. She performs as a solo artist under the name Feist, and as a member of Broken Social Scene. Raised in Regina and Calgary, Feist got her start in music as the lead vocalist for a punk band called Placebo (not the more famous British band Placebo), who won a local Battle of the Bands competition and were awarded the opening slot at a Ramonesconcert. After five years of touring, Feist was forced to take time off from music to recover from voice damage. She moved from Calgary to Toronto in 1998 and took up guitar; by 1999, she was the guitarist for By Divine Right.

The Buildup Lyrics

Feist

( Kings Of Convenience - Riot On An Empty Street LP )

Erik Glambek :

The build up
Lasted for days
Lasted for weeks
Lasted too long

Our hero
Withdrew
When there was two
He could not choose one
So there was none

Worn into the vaguely announced
Worn into the vaguely announced

Feist :

The spinning top
Made a sound
Like a train
Across the valley
Fading
Oh so quiet
But constant 'til it passed
Over the ridge
Into the distances
Written on your ticket
To remind you where to stop
And when to get off
