Top 10 Songs of 2014: #2 Spoon - They Want My Soul 

Spoon—They Want My Soul

Spoon’s album (also titled They Want My Soul) was easily one of the best albums of the year, with amazing song after amazing song. There were three or four songs I could have picked in this spot. In the end, it was always going to be “Do You” or “They Want My Soul”.

“They Want My Soul” is unmistakably Spoon. From the moment you hear the opening line, you know it’s Spoon. The layered build, with each of the first few verses adding instrumentation, just adds to it’s catchiness. The lyrics, in typical Spoon fashion, are dense and intelligent, but you’ll still catch yourself signing along with the chorus by the end of the song.

In many years, this would be my favorite song of the year. And probably my favorite album of the year. Just not this year.
