lyrics

You feel what others feel
You don’t mind bending to their will
On occasion, when you get the sense
It’s been too long since they had a say
You want the same from me
Mind and body synchrony
But I’ve never been like you
The only time I follow is when I’m following through
You knew when you met me

I’m a hostage taker, waving my mood around
Yeah, when I’m feeling nobody move
Or I’m going to put you down
I’m a hostage taker, waving my mood around
And if you’re waiting for me to surrender
I’m going to let you down

You think I’m cruel for loving hand to mouth
Before I’m in it, I know my way out
You’re a fool if you’re still looking for my heart
I showed it to you at the start

I’m a hostage taker…

I love it. This band specializes in rhythm and melody, and their secret weapon is gospel choir vocal harmonies that back most of the songs. This album is a tad more straightforward than their other two LPs, and all three are fantastic. Pop, folk, alternative, gospel- what a concoct Lute FP
