Death Cab for Cutie: I Will Possess Your Heart
Posted by Flick - 19/03/08 at 11:03:32 pm
Death Cab for Cutie has released the first track from their new album, Narrow Stairs. I Will Possess Your Heart clocks in at eight minutes, thirty-six seconds, one of their longest songs to date.
Overall, I Will Possess Your Heart has a jam quality to it by well seasoned musicians that have spent years performing together. The song opens with a picked bass line for nearly a minute before tight sounding drums accompany the groove, staying mainly in the center. Layer by layer the band comes in, next with piano and experimental guitar sounds, and an occasional xylophone that completes the piano’s melody.
Ben Gibbard begins to sing at 4:34:
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 yetYou’ve gotta spend some time, love
You’ve gotta spend some time with me
And I know that you’ll find love
I will possess your heartThere 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 lastYou’ve gotta spend some time, love
You’ve gotta spend some time with me
And I know that you’ll find love
I will possess your heartYou reject my advances
And desperate pleas
I won’t let you let me down so easily
So easilyYou’ve gotta spend some time, love
You’ve gotta spend some time with me
And I know that you’ll find love
I will possess your heart
