"The Takers" by Barcelona（Home-made Music Video）

My personal Youtube channel witnesses this home-made music video go online with my dedication to and liking for a song called "The Takers", where the lyrics and music are both written by an emerging new indie music group, "Barcelona", a current trio music band formed by Brian Fennell, Chris Bristol and Rhett Stonelake coming from Seattle. The reason for my love for this song is simply the melody and style so representative of the music elements blending with rock, and piano, which is also the principal music style as key feature claimed by this trio music group. This song is one of the tracks included in their debut album, "Absolutes", which is officially released in September 2007, the time when the music group run their own independent music label, NBD Music; the album was subsequently rereleased in December 2008 with additional four new songs after the music group signed to a music label, Universal Records.

A complete set of the lyrics to this song comes as follows for reference only and no copyright infringement is intended for the audio section of the song, in which I claim no ownership.

"The Takers"
Music and lyrics by Barcelona

What makes these boys fall hard
over all the girls they have fought and won?
These kings work hard and long,
just to ensure that their girls don't run.

Oh no, nobody taught them to love slow,
they're crying out at the streets below.
"Why don't you stay with me?"
I think you can save this beast.
But I'll leave you with an empty look.
Honey, that's what takers do...
I'm a thief and I'll take you.

What makes these monsters cry?
You can see the gold reflecting in their eyes.
Yea, that's just our heaving skin stretched tight,
greedy hands grab what feels right.
Oh no, nobody taught them to let go, they don't know.

Why don't you stay with me?
I think you can save this beast.
But I'll leave you with an empty look.
Honey, that's what takers do...
I'm a thief and I'll take you.

Oh, oh, oh, OHHHHH.
Oh, oh, oh, OHHHHH.
Oh, oh, oh, OHHHHH-OHHH-OHHH-OHHH.

If you stay, you would break.
Your way to innocence to take after these violent ways...
You still love and I still take.

Stay with me.
I think you can save this beast.
But I'll leave you with an empty look.
Honey, that's what takers do...
I'm gonna take you and you'll stay with me.
Well, I think you can save this beast.
But I'll leave you with an empty look.
Honey, that's what takers do...
I'm a thief and I'll take you.
