(Photo Credit: Nick Mckk) Julia Jacklin is wrapping up her final shows with First Aid Kit tonight in Portland. The North American tour is a warm up run for the Australian artist who is preparing to release her new album early next year.  Fans have been given an early taste of what Jacklin has coming with NPR Music today premiering the new song and video for "Body." "Nick and I drove out to the Hay Plain which is one of my favourite parts of Australia and filmed this clip. We spent about 14 hours in the car, jumping out when something looked beautiful. Whenever I listened to this song I knew the clip had to be a driving one, destination unknown.  The song speaks for itself I think but I'd say it's just a very long and exaggerated sigh. Born from feelings of powerlessness when it comes to the impossible task of representing yourself the way you think is right; personally and professionally. When you feel like everything is for the taking no matter what you do."

Lyrics for "Body" the police met the plane they let you finish your meal I know you'd like to believe it baby but you’re more kid than criminal   just a boy who could not get through a domestic flight without lighting up in the restroom got caught, cloud of smoke, thumb still on the light   you looked so proud couldn't wait to call a friend we had to fly back home never got the money back for that weekend   right there on the Sydney tarmac I threw my luggage down I said I’m gonna leave you I’m not a good woman when you’re around    that’s when the sound came in I could finally see I felt the changing of the seasons all of my senses rushing back to me   go your own way watch me turn my own head  eyes on the driver, hands in my lap heading to the city, to get my body back   I remembered early days when you took my camera turned to me, 23, naked on your bed looking straight at ya   do you still have that photograph would you use it to hurt me?   well I guess it’s just my life and it’s just my body   I guess it’s just my life and it’s just my body x4 Tour Dates: 10/03 - Portland, OR @ Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall # 11/27 - London, UK @ Omeara [SOLD OUT] 11/28 - Manchester, UK @ YES [SOLD OUT] 11/29 - Glasgow, UK @ Glad Cafe [SOLD OUT] # w/ First Aid Kit FACEBOOK | TWITTER | INSTAGRAM  http://www.juliajacklin.com/
