Wolf Like Me

Wolf Like Me by TV on the Radio



Next year, when we look at the best songs of the first decade of the 21st century, this song will make most top 50 lists... and I've got a feeling it might even be #1 on a few lists (don't you get the feeling that Pitchfork sort of wishes it made in #1 in 2006?). This is a fantastic song—a driving, hard drum beat, daunting and interesting guitars, and vocals that drive home the hardness of the song. Then they slow it down during the bridge... only to pick it up again and in the background a somewhat haunting "the how and... forever... ho ho ho..." is repeated as the song closes.

It's one of those songs that I think every musician and band wishes it could write.
