Holy mother of god, can't remember the last time I was this kicked in the face by a song. Fucking unreal!

[kronoterria]

You guys are amazing. And that synth riff good lord have

[eggjoe]

I’m revisiting this and I’m still blown away by this performance. Holy flipping poop! I can not play this loud enough.

I watched Spoon on BBC, Jimmy Kimmel, Ellen, Austin City Limits and a few others. KEXP kicked all of their asses by a significant margin for the quality of sound. Nice work!

So thankful I saw these guy live in New York. Felt high the whole show they opened for beck and cage the elephant, sunflower

[Nikki-kunl]

This song and this version is so sexy and always gives me chills. And the dark 1920s vibes I get from the synths it's an amazing song and amazing band.

[igvarrr]

Wonderful song, excellent music. Greetings from Serbia. :)

[jj]

awesome synth riff
like a middle eastern influence

[joncrary]

This is just an edgy rock classic. Lots of dreamy sprinklies. Britt's voice. Oh, hells yes. That synth line...oh my! Danceable yet heady.

Can I sit next to you?
Can you sit next to me?
Get the stars out your eyes
Come and bring them to me

I been down so long
I've been working on a plan, yeah
It's just that I been down so long
I gotta give me my mind what I can

Can I sit next to you?
Can you sit next to me?
I walked to Memphis alone
'Cause you'd do it for me
Ooh, I know you would

All of the kicks from the sticks
All the kicks that we knew
I put all that aside
Concentrate on you

All the kicks from the sticks
All the hits that we took
All them stitches we got
All our brains so cooked

Ah ah ah, some day I'm gonna get where you are
I've been down so long
Been down but now I gotta get lifted up

I'm gonna walk a tightrope
Gonna get kicks every night
No one's holding me back
No one's changing my mind no more

Gonna walk a tightrope
Gonna get kicks every night
No one's holding me back
No one's changing my mind

Get the stars out your eyes
Come and sit next to me
Under Tennessee skies
Down on South Front Street

Ah ah ah, I've been working on a plan, yeah
I been down so long
Been down but now I gotta get lifted up
