1) Spoon is an American indie rock band from Austin, Texas. The band was formed in late 1993 by lead singer/guitarist Britt Daniel and drummer Jim Eno. Current members also include: Eric Harvey (keyboard, guitar, percussion, backing vocals) and Rob Pope (bass, backing vocals - replaced Joshua Zarbo in 2007).
After releasing their debut LP Telephono on Matador Records, the band signed with Elektra in 1998, but the contract was dropped soon after the band released A Series of Sneaks. In response the band released a two-song single titled The Agony of Laffitte (referring to Elektra A&R man Ron Laffitte). Eventually they signed to Merge Records.
Spoon has been met with widespread critical acclaim. Girls Can Tell, released in 2001, sold more copies than both their previous releases combined. Kill the Moonlight accomplished the same feat a year later. Gimme Fiction was released on May 10, 2005 and continued the trend of increasing popularity for the band.
Britt Daniel wrote much of the soundtrack to the 2006 film Stranger Than Fiction. Four tracks by Spoon are also featured.
The band released their sixth studio album Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga on July 10, 2007; those who purchased the first pressing also received a bonus disc titled Get Nice!.
Transference is their seventh studio album. It was released on January 18, 2010 in Europe, and on January 19 in North America, to moderately positive reviews.

Take my, name as my own.
So see'mon and take my hand, see'mon and

In Spoon's song "Don't Buy the Realistic," the lyrics convey a sense of loneliness and a desire for someone to take the singer's hand and be with them. The first line sets the tone of the song, with the repeated phrase "all night, be left alone." The lyrics suggest that the singer wants someone to take on their name as their own, to be so close to them that they might as well be the same person. However, the second stanza points out that words are not enough to express this desire, and that physical closeness is necessary. The repetition of "see'mon and take my hand," highlights the singer's desperation for someone to be with them and to not be left alone.
The repetition of the phrase "take my" throughout the song gives the impression of the singer offering themselves up to someone else, as if the only way to escape their loneliness is to give themselves away completely. The line "Face the, gets in the way" suggests that the singer may have a difficult time connecting with people because of insecurity or a fear of vulnerability.
Overall, the lyrics of "Don't Buy the Realistic" create a sense of longing and desperation for connection, highlighting the importance of physical touch and intimacy in overcoming loneliness.
