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.

Let Me Be Mine
Spoon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It will come back sometime
Lock it up, what you love
And it's just let me be mine, oh
Auction off what you love
It will come back sometime
Lock it up, what you love
You're gonna take another chunk of me with you when you go
Go ahead and take another chunk of me, yeah, just go
Mm-hm, just go (Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh)
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh)
Stop extensions, set to stun
Bathing beauties lie down where I run
Like some heavy notion that's gone untouched
Meanwhile I'm still thinking about it
Hm, I'm still thinking about it
You're gonna take another chunk of me with you when you go
Go ahead and take another chunk of me, yeah, just go
Yeah, just go
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh)
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh)
Auction off what you love
It will come back sometime
How they want you to run, you to run
Too bad they want you to run (Ooh)
How they want you to run, you to run
Just how they want you to
Auction off what you love
It will come back sometime
Lock it up, what you love
And it's just let me be mine, let me be mine
You to run
How they want you to run
You to run
Oh, they want you to run
The lyrics of Spoon's song Let Me Be Mine emphasize the theme of self-acceptance and internal conflict. The line "Auction off what you love, it will come back sometime, lock it up, what you love, and it's just let me be mine, oh" talks about the internal tug of war that occurs when we try to balance our desires with our fears of losing what we hold dear. It is natural to be protective of what we love, but sometimes we need to let go of things to allow them to come back to us. The lines suggest that it is better to let things run their course and trust in the natural order of things, but also to allow oneself to be free to pursue what they want independently.
The second half of the song indicates a sense of feeling incomplete because someone took away something valuable from them. The lines "You're gonna take another chunk of me with you when you go, go ahead and take another chunk of me, yeah just go" describe the feeling of losing something to someone and having to deal with the aftermath. The singer hints that this has happened before and encourages the person to leave. The line "Stop extensions, set to stun, bathing beauties lie down where I run" implies a metaphorical chase in which the singer is trying to escape from something, but he canβt seem to leave it behind.
The song deals with the dilemma we all face sometimes in life, the struggle to balance freedom with attachment. The lyrics show the difficulty of acknowledging one's own desires while trying to protect oneself from loss. Overall, the song's message is uplifting and encourages us to let go of our fears and trust in the natural course of things.
