The band Death Cab For Cutie.
As I've told everybody, I recently got XM radio, and I LOVE IT! My favorite music channel is "Ethel", and I also like the 60's Decades channel. And so many others!
It introduced me to lots of new music. I fell I've been becoming a "dinosaur", listening to the same old songs all the time, over and over, on my vinyl records and CD's.
This song is out right now, and I'm addicted to it! "I Will Possess Your Heart" by Death Cab For Cutie. This is the album version with the long bass riff intro. The intro begins with an extremely catchy bass riff that goes throughout the song. After a while, drums are added, then echoey guitar and keyboards, and it builds until about 4:30 into the song, the vocals start and the intense intro fades into nothing and the vocals are just by themselves, pretty nifty!
I played bass in a rock band (see picture on lower right of blog), and YES...I immediately figured out this catchy bass riff! I LOVE IT!!!
The music and lyrics go together well in this intense "haunting" song. The echoey guitars and piano are tasteful, and the drumming goes along solidly with that bass riff. The song gets better with each listen, the sign of a truely great song. This song is a GEM! Listen to it! Play it a few times...LOUD! Hopefully, you have good speakers. This song will "possess your heart". I'm glad there's new groups putting out quality stuff like this!
"I Will Possess Your Heart" by Death Cab For Cutie (lyrics)
How I wish you could see the potential, the potential of you and me
It's like a book elegantly bound, but in a language that you can't read - just yet
You gotta spend some time--love, you gotta spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find--love, I will possess your heart (x2) (x2)
There are days when outside your window, I see my reflection as I slowly pass
And I long for this mirrored perspective, when we'll be lovers, lovers at last
You gotta spend some time--love, you gotta spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find--love, I will possess your heart(x2) (x2)
You reject my advances and desperate pleas
I won't let you, let me down so easily, so easily
You gotta spend some time--love, you gotta spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find--love, I will possess your heart (x3)
