OK I've heard song I had not heard before.

Death Cab for Cutie - I Will Possess Your Heart

8 minutes long and the first half is purely an intro. Normally I wouldn't like this BUT this song, those 4 minutes of music that build up this song are dare I say it, some of the most beautiful minutes and seconds of music I have ever heard. It's eargasm inducing! I know how stupid that sounds but for me, every once in a while I hear a song that I want to never end and I will listen to it constantly, it happened with 'Reckoner' and it's happening with this now.

The lyrics are also so incredibly amazing, both beautiful and belivable with a twist of arrogance that is brilliant.

"How I wish you could see the potential
The potential of you and me
It's like a book, elegently bounded
in a language that you can't read,
just yet

You gotta spend some time, love
You gotta spend some time, with me,
I know you will find love
I will possess your heart"

The intro also reminded me of Joy Division (specifically Heart and Soul)


To put it plain and simple I love, no adore this song.

I think I have pretty good taste in music for a 16 year old, I hear new music pretty much everyday, of course I am a bit picky with my music, but do have quite an open mind, more so recently becasue of the music I have been listening to. Ask me last year and I probably would have said Jay Z was shit, but after the awe-inspiring Glastonbury set, I now indeed mightily respect the CEO of hiphop.

Moving on, Death Cab for Cutie were a band I heard the name of and then quickly steered clear of, thats rather stupid behaviour, you can never judge a book by its cover. I just heard the song 'Cath' and really like it.

Someone else that I've just started to listen to is Seasick Steve, he's amazing, heard him on Jools Holland Hootenanny before and was dumbstruck by how good of a musician he is, now I've started to listen more properly, I do indeed enjoy his music.
