The Jamaicans say:\u00a0 “dem dat knows it, feels it.”\u00a0 Such is the case with the grinding and killing new song, Rent I Pay<\/strong><\/em>, from Spoon <\/strong><\/a>(who we first saw live when they opened for Guided By Voices<\/strong> in 1996).\u00a0 We throw up the words above only to show that you will feel this song so much more than its printed lyrics and sheet music.\u00a0 You can read the lyrics above, but if that’s all you do, you might miss the underlying payment and pain that simmers within.\u00a0 Specific lines do ring true such as “Out amongst the stars and stones, every kinda fortune gets old.\u201d\u00a0 But this gritty rocker is more about the feel. \u00a0Spoon<\/strong> feels it, and is set to release its new album They Want My Soul<\/em> <\/strong>on\u00a0 August 5th via Loma Vista<\/strong><\/a>, their new label.<\/p>\n
