Heart skipped a beat.

The xx had to grow on me a bit but now I really like them.  They're a young band from the UK with a unique sound that seduces the listener with lingering, sweet voices, negative spaces, and sensual tones.  They are quietly powerful, and this one is my favorite as of now....



"Please don't say we're done
When I'm not finished
'Cause I could give so much more
Make you feel, like never before
Welcome, they said welcome to the floor

It's been a while
And you've found someone better
But I've been waiting too long to give this up
The more I see, I understand
But sometimes, I still need you

Sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes, I still need you

I was struggling to get in
Left waiting outside your door
I was sure
You'd give me more

No need to come to me
When I can make it all the way to you
You made it clear
You weren't near
Near enough for me

Heart skipped a beat
And when I caught it you were out of reach
But I'm sure, I'm sure
You've heard it before."

-The xx
