In which we discuss Haim's concert, Beyonce, and Love you like XO

Last week, I got a text from a friend around 3 pm. Guess what it said.

C'mon. Guess.

Nope.

It said, "What time are we meeting up for Haim?"

I thought to myself "SHIT MCCAFF, how did you forget to put a concert you've been looking forward to in your calendar?! And then proceed to be thisclose to missing it?" I bought these tix MONTHS ago and completely spaced. Thank god for Danny. I met up. We watched Haim put on a performance that was even better than the one at Paradise over Labor Day.

One fun thing I loved about the concert was I got to see them perform a cover of XO by Beyonce:

Which made me think, who else has covered that rad song?

Which also made me want to watch the original:

Which made me think, what does Love you like XO even mean? And Love me lights out? What does that mean? I have no idea, but I love it. And I love it when anyone sings it.

Want to sing along? Lyrics!!

"XO"

Your love is bright as ever (ever, ever, ever)
Even in the shadows (shadows, shadows, shadows)
Baby, kiss me (kiss me, kiss me, kiss me)
Before they turn the lights out (lights out, lights out, lights out)
Your heart is glowing (glowing, glowing, glowing)
And I'm crashing into you (into you, into you, into you)
Baby, kiss me (kiss me, kiss me, kiss me)
Before they turn the lights out (the lights out)
Before they turn the lights out (the lights out)
Baby, love me lights out

In the darkest night hour (in the darkest night hour)
I'll search through the crowd (I'll search through the crowd)
Your face is all that I see
I'll give you everything
Baby, love me lights out
Baby, love me lights out
You can turn my lights out

We don't have forever
Ooh, baby daylight's wasting (wasting, wasting, wasting)
You better kiss me (kiss me)
Before our time has run out
Mmmhh yeah...
Nobody sees what we see
They're just hopelessly gazing, oh
Oh, baby, take me, me
Before they turn the lights out
Before our time has run out
Baby, love me lights out

In the darkest night hour (in the darkest night hour)
I'll search through the crowd (I'll search through the crowd)
Your face is all that I see
I'll give you everything
Baby, love me lights out
Baby, love me lights out
You can turn my lights out

I love you like XO
You love me like XO
You kill me boy XO
You love me like XO
All that I see
Give me everything
Baby, love me lights out
Baby, love me lights out
You can turn my lights out

In the darkest night hour (in the darkest night hour)
I'll search through the crowd (I'll search through the crowd)
Your face is all that I see
I'll give you everything
Baby, love me lights out
Baby, love me lights out
You can turn my lights out

BONUS: Phoenix teaching Haim to speak French. Ou est les miellieu steak frites? (Spelling? I don't want to cheat by googling...)

Another bonus, Este actually singing it at the show I went to:
