08. Zephyrus This is the 'album centrepiece'. Beginning with a grime-y vocal loop, sparse drums and Kele's vocals, the track morphs after the first chorus into a full-on choral beast. Anyone who was lucky enough to experience last October's Electric Proms concert will know how Bloc Party sound with a full choral backing, and the chances are the band was inspired by that show. A haunting, unsettling track - but one in which the experimentation has pulled off. Key lyric: And all you said in your quietest voice was "I needed you as much as they do" IMO I disagree about this being the "album centerpiece". Feels like the weakest track to me. Lyrics: Backwards, forwards but making no ground at all Standing in the city with the clocks counting one And your face is still wet from the fight before As your tears hit the ground, blue flowers spring from them Baby, I'm ashamed of the things I put you through Baby, I'm ashamed of the man I was for you And all you said in your quietest voice Was "I needed you as much as they do" How fast must we run before we can just take off in flight? How far must we run before they do not recognise us? So let's take this from the start, you'll be me and I'll be you And let's try not to complain about your smoking And my distant heart And my distant heart And my distant heart And all you said in your quietest voice Was "I needed you as much as they do" (Too many mirrors in this house) (And I don't like to see myself like this) (I'm becoming the man I used to be I guess) (These walls could tell you a thing or two) (Things that you really don't want to know) (Lend me your eyes for your point of view) (Lend me your feet and I'll stand by you) And all you said in your quietest voice Was "I needed you as much as they do"
