Take me Out

Wow, you have no idea what this song meant, means, and will mean to me.
It makes me remember being young, and going to cheap bars with my friends, to have a few drinks and listen what we called at the time “indie” music, which included songs from Radiohead, Oasis, Franz Ferdinand (some new band with hip funny amazing lyrics and powerful guitar), The Cure, among others.
None of them are or were indie, it’s just that we were sooo young and rookie, that any rock music was indie for us. Fortunately, good taste increases with age, and now I love rock music, but I definitely know that indie is way more than this, and a very different genre I’m not sure if I love yet…
This was the first song I heard from Franz Ferdinand, the first “indie” band I had ever heard about, and it opened to me a door that will never close; so please, if you ever go to my wedding and suddenly listen The White Stripes or Muse instead of cumbias or salsa, blame Take Me Out.
I have listened to this song a million times, sometimes when I run, sometimes when I feel blue, sometimes when I’m driving, and every listen is different than the other.
However, this song is not one of my favourites, and I am pretty aware Franz has better masterpieces, such as The Dark of the Matinee, Auf Achse (no one knows it, but it’s their best in my opinion), Lucid Dreams (what a great way to close a concert!!!!!!!) and Do You Want To; but Take me Out just has to be in every ipod, in every person, in every heart.
We all know Archduke Franz Ferdinand was shot, and then World War was originated; but some years later Franz Ferdinand was heard, and then a passion was originated…my most important passion…
