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.

Wanted to Be Your
Spoon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wanted to get to know ya
I wanted to be your friend
I wanted to get to know ya
I wanted, I wanted, wanted to be your friend
I wanted, I wanted, wanted to be your friend
No kidding.
I wanted to hang out some.
I thought that you talked pretty cool.
But don't get me wrong I wasn't uptight.
Intentions they fly out the window when you left
The window stay open and light before I said
No kidding.
Although it was nothing heavy
There's things that I could have showed ya
Like how I wanted to be your friend
I wanted to get to know ya
I wanted, I wanted, wanted to be your friend
I wanted, I wanted, wanted to be your friend
No kidding

The song "Wanted to Be Your" by Spoon is about the singer's desire to be friends with someone, who they find interesting and cool. Through the lyrics, the singer expresses their admiration for this person, their dance moves, and the way they talk. The singer also reveals that although their intentions were pure, they never got the chance to develop a friendship, as the person left before they could make a proper connection. The lyrics also suggest the singer's regret for not being able to show this person how much they wanted to be their friend.
The song's message is relatable to many people who have missed out on potential friendships due to circumstances out of their control. The lyrics convey a sense of longing and nostalgia for what could have been. The song's simple structure and repetitive chorus make it catchy and easy to sing along to, adding to its appeal.

Spoon is so damn magic.

This is a perfect song.
Wilo Polis
Those drums at the beginning, Britt Daniel's rough throat vocals, the roaring, tightly punching-produced guitars, the electric piano/synths/whatever, the insanely catchy chorus, it's just perfect.
Rumpf DJs
I love that the up and down stroke appear in the left and right speakers during the solo, I think that's what they've done anyway... either way, it creates so much energy. amazing
George Zajkowski
Spoon are amazing. Plus they are big Guided by Voices fans.
