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.

Way things turned-out was, best they could be.
I'm working today and yesterday
Still got some time and I can have something I'd live for
Well are you part of the motion-ment
I want to be part of the movement too
I just don't find myself giving a fuck
About the things that, I have to do
When it gets you like it's got me
It cuts my teeth and then it, like I said
When I first saw her I thought I knew her
Now I know I don't, just wish I did
And she could be able to take me far
So come over my house and say
Save my life,
Plastic Mylar
I'm assuming you'll put me right
I'm assuming you're not a

The lyrics of Spoon's song "Plastic Mylar" explore the themes of longing, yearning, and the desire for something more. The singer starts off by saying that he wasn't sure what was going to happen and that things turned out to be the best they could be. However, he still feels unfulfilled and like he wants to live for something more, something that makes him part of a movement.
He mentions a woman who he thought he knew, but now realizes he doesn't really know her at all. He wishes she could take him far and save his life, which implies that he is looking for something or someone to help him find direction and purpose.
The repeated refrain of "Plastic Mylar" is a bit enigmatic, but it seems to symbolize something that is both artificial and alluring. The singer is assuming that whoever or whatever "Plastic Mylar" represents will put him right and help him find what he's looking for.
Overall, the song seems to be about the struggle to find meaning and connection in a world that can feel hollow and unfulfilling, even when things seem to be going well on the surface.

Inside the wall, I wasn't sure
I was unsure of my situation
Way things turned-out was, best they could be.
The events that unfolded were for the best
I'm working today and yesterday
I have been working for the past two days
Still got some time and I can have something I'd live for
I have some free time and the opportunity to pursue my passions
Well are you part of the motion-ment
Are you part of a movement towards progress?
I want to be part of the movement too
I also want to contribute to positive change
I just don't find myself giving a fuck
I do not care about the things I am required to do
About the things that, I have to do
I do not care about my responsibilities
When I see ya
When I see you
When it gets you like it's got me
When it affects you like it has affected me
It cuts my teeth and then it, like I said
It is difficult and frustrating, as previously mentioned
When I first saw her I thought I knew her
Initially, I believed I had a good understanding of her
Now I know I don't, just wish I did
I now realize I lack a sufficient understanding of her and wish I knew more
And she could be able to take me far
She has potential to help me achieve great things
So come over my house and say
Please come to my house and tell me
Save my life,
Help me
