Music Monday

Hysteric by Yeah Yeah Yeahs

No longer, no longer

What you ask

Strange steps

Heels turned black

The cinders the cinders

They light the path

Of these strange steps

Take us back, take us back

Flow sweetly hang heavy

You suddenly complete me

You suddenly complete me

Flow sweetly hang heavy

You suddenly complete me

You suddenly complete me

Oh oh aaayyy

Oh oh ayyee

Hysteric

Oh oh aaayyy

Oh oh ayeee

Hysterical

No wonder no wonder,

Other half, strange steps

Heels turned black.

The cinders they splinter

And light the path

These strange steps

Trace us back trace us back

Flow sweetly hang heavy

You suddenly complete me

You suddenly complete me

Flow sweetly hang heavy

You suddenly complete me

You suddenly complete me

Hysteric

Actually I didn't discover the song from twitter but from WFUV's Alternate Site Top 10 playlist.

I first heard Yeah Yeah Yeahs from Rockband. Maps was one of those songs that I didn't quite understand the lyrics of but I loved the melody and emotions of the song. I then bought IsIs which is hauntingly beautiful. That's probably how I'd describe a lot of the songs by them. The music kind of gets under your skin. Maybe it's like an impressionist painting done in music form. You're not really sure what exactly she's singing about but you "get" what she's thinking and feeling. Pretty powerful stuff.
