Death Cab for Cutie: I Will Possess Your Heart
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

Puddlegum began in 1997 as one of the first online music magazines. It is managed by Flick, and has gained respect from many in the recording industry.
Over the years Puddlegum has accomplished quite a few things we are proud of:
Being mentioned by Thom Yorke during a BBC Radio interview (concerning our Tens Theory), and being written about in Rolling Stone. We have also made the front page of TUAW, Digg, and VH1’s Best Week Ever, and have been featured on USA Today, and Reuters.
