Ted's Song of the Week - 08/17/05



I Am The Man
The Czars
Goodbye

In case there was any question regarding Czars frontman John Grant's gender, here is the song to listen to. All joking aside, this is a great song for anyone who can appreciate the subtle marriage of synthesizers, acoustic guitars, and pouty vocals to produce the genre known as dream pop.
The song may be short on lyrics, but its melancholy presentation produces a full, lush track that clocks in at just under five minutes. Fans of early
Radiohead, Tim Buckley, and Cocteau Twins will appreciate this gem.

Lyrics:
You are beyond any reproach now
You are so cool you’re so flawless now
Perfect approach impeccable execution
When you are done can you show me how

I’m not just a man
I am the man you can’t have
I need something else
You are the one who can’t help
You’ve gotten sick on self-satisfaction
And now my patience is wearing thin
You seem surprised, how could this happen
You knew what I was when you took me in

I’m not just a man
I am the man you can’t have
I need something else
And you are the one who can’t help
