She And Him - Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?
She And Him is an unlikely collaboration between actress Zoey Deschanel (from the movies Elf, The Happening, and The Go-Getter) and instrumentalist M. Ward. The two met on the set of a movie in which Deschanel had a starring role, and were recruited to sing a duet for the end credits. When Ward discovered that Deschanel had a talent for writing music, he requested some of her demos. She agreed, and She And Him was born. The two originally began writing through email, with Deschanel sending Ward rough versions of songs to be touched up. The end product of this was their 2008 release, Volume One. The songs are light, poppy, and have just a little hint of vintage jazz. They are currently working on a proposed Volume Two. As a side note, Zoey Deschanel became engaged to Ben Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie in December 2008.
