about
This song is a bit of a mystery to me. One of the first I wrote on piano, after the guy upstairs who played in a jazz band stored his Fender Rhodes at my flat and I started mucking around on it. Listening now it sound more like a paean to sacrifice rather than sex, which is, I think, how it was originally intended. Boh Runga turns in a lovely, and, yes, rather sexy, vocal.
lyrics
Swimming through the air.
Lost in your own house.
There’s nobody there, everyone’s gone out.
Then you take me by the hand, and I follow you.
And you take me again and you break right through.
Yes I’m waiting for your touch from a thousand fingers, and I’m floating like dust, in the smoke that lingers.
Taken. Taken. Closing the door.
We don’t have to speak.
Clothes that ain’t yours, falling at your feet.
Then you take me by the hand, and I follow you.
And you take me again and you break right through.
Yes I’m waiting for your touch from a thousand fingers,
and I’m floating like dust, in the smoke that lingers.
Taken.
Taken.
I never knew that you could light up the dark,
across an empty room right into the heart, taken.
Taken.
Taken.
Taken.

Juxtaposing poetic balladry with roaring feedback and warped piano lines, the Vermonter's music is as stunning as it is unsettling. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 21, 2024
