Utopia

Goldfrapp : Utopia
"Fascist baby."




Okay, if you know me at all, you know I am OBSESSED with this song. If I had to pick a soundtrack to my life, this song would probably be playing most of the time. I've never heard anyone like Goldfrapp.. and I'm so so glad I found out about her. This song in particular is my favorite from her, due to the amazing super short chorus. I love how the song slowly builds up for 4 words- "Fascist baby. Utopia, utopia." The noises in this song are rare to hear.... starting from the opera-like vocals in the background of the beginning of the song, to what sounds like an electric organ building up to the chorus. Weird, but it works. 



The beginning of the song has some pretty relatable lyrics, as well.


It's a strange day-
No colors or shapes.
No sound in my head.
I forget who I am.
When I'm with you-
There's no reason-
There's no sense.
I'm not supposed to feel.

I like these lyrics just because of how realistic they are. I met my boyfriend of almost 2 years at the Tigers game. I never really think I was ever completely passionately present in life until I met him. All of me was focused on his entire being. It's almost like a magnetic pull towards someone... and it makes absolutely no sense to you, but you don't even stop to think about it.. you just get more drawn in by the person (If you're "special" like me and have read the Twilight series, you remember the part where Jacob was trying to explain this exact thing to Bella? That's what I'm talking about). This song, in a strange way, captures that essence for me.
