Spoon - Can I Sit Next To You

[drfarkio]

With hot tracks like this, you can sit anywhere you like, Spoon

[tabas]

One of the most consistently amazing bands out there.

[schmeldwicksmith]

Britt Daniels emotional vulnerability and honesty is staggering, admirable, inspiring. His voice is like a raw nerve, makes me feel less alone with my own struggles.

[putt]

this song comes on at my work all the time and that mid part at 1:29 is iconic

[lisaraye]

Anyone else come here for that very specific part.. that makes u start dancing the minute it drops?

[WiloPolis]

I don't get why Spoon isn't more popular. They're accessible, artsy, and even have a bit of novelty value.

Found this song last night while procrastinating at about 4am. It's 8:50pm now and I have listened to this song for over 20x times now... I love it. I pretend to dance to it because I don't actually know how to dance.

[WiloPolis]

This is some gold-standard indie pop. Gosh I love this album

[RuiMelo]

that mid song arabic riff is fk awsome

[cackleback]

They finally played a good song on the radio and this was it.  I been waiting since 1996.

[Ankit.Sethi.]

No other band makes me crave for their album on a consistent basis like Spoon

[altspacecadet]

Still as amazing a track as it was when I first heard it. I have much love for this band's musical talents ❤

[TheAmirata]

I'm really liking the electronic and funk elements on this song and the title track. I guess they're taking what they tried on They Want My Soul further. It definitely has hints of Britt's work with Divine Fits as well. The instrumentation is excellent! We get more hand clapping, crunchy guitars, acoustic strumming and Britt's "rock n roll" voice. A lot of bands try to move into new territory but it mostly fails. I appreciate Spoon's ability to play with sounds and rhythm. It shows that they're willing to try new things and experiment as they continue to evolve. I'm really looking forward to this new album! To me, their magnum opus is Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga. But regardless, they consistently release great music.

1:19 the piano followed by bass that goes deeper and deeper! lovely

[peterbellini]

SPOON....funky as you know, that thing

[thewhatness]

I'm so utterly hype for March 17th. This is wicked good.

[chrissolace]

“This song is alright.”
*the next day*
“IT’S STUCK IN MY HEAD!”

[julieholmes]

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

[Chorus 1]
I been down so long
I been working on a plan, yeah
It's just that
I been down so long
I gotta give me my mine when I can

[Verse 1]
Can I sit next to you?
Can you sit next to me?
I walk to Memphis alone
'Cause you'd do it for me
Oh, 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 the stitches we got
All our brains so cooked
Oh oh oh

[Bridge]
Some day I'm gonna get where you want 'em
I've been down so long
Been down but now I gotta get lifted up

[Verse 2]
I'm gonna walk a tightrope
Gonna get kicks every night
No one's holding me back
No one's changing my mind, oh
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
Oh oh oh

[Chorus 2]
I been working on a plan, yeah
I been down so long
Been down but now I gotta get lifted up

[dillorzaarour]

The violins/synths strings...are amazing i feel weird hearing them slide like that...
