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.

New York Kiss
Spoon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But bets are good
It took it to another 'til I go back
Now when I show up
It's gonna hit me good
It's gonna blow my mind
Just like the first time
And then your New York kiss
I knew you knew your kiss
Now it's another place
A place your memory owns
I come fast
I look past
And I know that it won't get to me at all
Until I go there
The feeling hits me clear and sharp
The streets are empty, there's no one 'round
It's a far-off shout, it's a far-off shout
Just like it was when next day came up
And it felt so tough
From your New York kiss
Hm, your New York kiss
Now it's just another place
A place your memory owns
Another place that you own
And it ain't goin' back
Caught up inside of it, yeah
Caught up in the moment
Got it right
God, there ain't a thing I miss
Not like your New York kiss
Not like your New York kiss
But now it's just another place
A place your memory owns
Right now I know no other time
Right now I know no other place
I say good night
Spoon's song New York Kiss describes the lingering power that the city's energy and a past love can hold over a person. The lyrics present an introspective tone as they reflect on a past relationship and the memories of a New York kiss that is forever cherished by the singer. The chorus emphasizes the feeling of loss, as the singer acknowledges that the kiss and the city are now just memories that are owned by the past.
The lines "It's gonna hit me good, it's gonna blow my mind, just like the first time" express the overwhelming feeling that the singer experiences when thinking back to a kiss shared in New York City. The sensory language of the song adds depth and emotion as the memories of the singer transport the listener to a far-off time and place. The final lines "Right now I know no other time, right now I know no other place, I say good night" symbolize the acceptance and closure that the singer has received in finally letting go of the New York kiss and the past relationship that it represents.
Line by Line Meaning
Yes, I got shook up
But bets are good
It took it to another 'til I go back
Although it initially unsettled me, I believe everything will turn out for the best, as it always does. This new experience has taken me to another level, and I can't wait to relive it again.
Now when I show up
It's gonna hit me good
It's gonna blow my mind
Just like the first time
You told me by the neon sign
The next time I visit this place, I know it's going to be just as exhilarating and electrifying as the first time. I recall the excitement in your voice when you first shared this memory with me next to the neon sign.
And then your New York kiss
I knew you knew your kiss
Now it's another place
A place your memory owns
That kiss you gave me in New York, oh how I remember it so fondly. I knew then that you were a master of your kisses, and now this place is forever linked to your memory in my mind.
I come fast
I look past
And I know that it won't get to me at all
Until I go there
The feeling hits me clear and sharp
The streets are empty, there's no one 'round
It's a far-off shout, it's a far-off shout
Just like it was when next day came up
And it felt so tough
Whenever I think about revisiting this place, I get an overwhelming feeling. It's as if I'm transported there right away, and the absence of people makes the memory louder and clearer. It's like I'm reliving that tough next day all over again.
From your New York kiss
Hm, your New York kiss
Now it's just another place
A place your memory owns
That New York kiss of yours will forever be linked in my mind to this place, which is now just another location you've marked with your memory.
Another place that you own
And it ain't goin' back
Caught up inside of it, yeah
Caught up in the moment
Got it right
God, there ain't a thing I miss
This place is yet another one you've claimed into your life, and I know it won't ever be returned. I'm transfixed within this moment, and I'm grateful I did everything right. There's not a single thing I don't miss about it.
Not like your New York kiss
Not like your New York kiss
But now it's just another place
A place your memory owns
Nothing compares to that kiss you gave me in New York, but even though the place has become just an insignificant spot, it still carries the weight of your memory.
Right now I know no other time
Right now I know no other place
I say good night
At the moment, there is no other time or place that exists to me. Good night.
