“Fallen for a guy, Fell down from the sky. Halo round his head, Feathers in a bed, In our bed, in our bed… It’s sacrilege, sacrilege, sacrilege you say”
-Yeah Yeah Yeahs, “Sacrilege”
The best part of a song is the build up. This song is one long build up. Karen O’s voice is piercing and the music builds from a steady pulse, adding layers, building in intensity until it reaches a religious type of fervor via a gospel chorus. This song kicks ass. As always, listen to it loud:
