“Can’t say why I kept this from you
My those quiet eyes become you
Leave it where it can’t remind us
Turn this all around behind us
Oh! Well I know!
I’ll fall right in to keep you out
I’d like to tell you all about it”
- “Turn Into” by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, off the album Show Your Bones
It may be an unconventional choice, but this is my favorite song off this album. Like many of my favorite YYYs songs, it makes my heart ache, but I adore its simple elegance.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Phenomena
“Don’t touch kid, sleep with the lights on
Touch kid, how you surprise me
Now roll kid, knock your body off!
You’re something like a phenomena
Something like an astronoma
Roll kid, rock your body off!”
- “Phenomena” by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, off the album Show Your Bones
My favorite song upon first listening to this album, it’s still great fun listening to it, especially while driving.
“Cheated by
The opposite of love
Held on high
From up up up above
Kept my high
From the second one
Kept my eye
On the first one
Now take these rings
And stow them safe away
I’ll wear them on
Another rainy day”
- “Cheated Hearts” by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, off the album Show Your Bones
“Now, tell me what you saw,
Tell me what you saw,
There was a crowd of seeds,
Inside, outside,
I must have done a dozen each
It was the height I threw, the weight,
The shell was crushing you,
I’ve been around a few”
- “Gold Lion” by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, off the album Show Your Bones
To be entirely honest, after the utter insanity of Fever to Tell, this first single off Show Your Bones was a bit of a let-down, but it is absolutely amazing live.
