John Butler Trio - Take Me

Favorite lyrics: Twist me, turn me, throw me around
Drunk in this potion of loaded emotion
Beautiful beautiful beautiful lies lies lies all lies

The way the guitar rises and falls with the vocals is electric and addicting. The lyrics are commanding; they have the kind of dominance that fully takes you over, and the emotion they're sung with pours over the music. It's a song you can get lost in, like a vocalized maze. We like music that breaks boundaries and evolves sound, and this song definitely fits that. The layout of the song, rising and falling, twisting notes into feeling, almost tells a story itself. Near the end, the music slows to a heartbeat, the helplessness and pleading in the singer's voice fading away as the song ends. It's the kind of music that stops everything - talking, texting, and thinking - and forces you to listen.
