I'm sitting here listening to Kongos' new single, Take It From Me and grinning like a fool. It's so good, so classic Kongos.

It's available on Amazon and iTunes and all the other usual outlets, including for free on Spotify if you have an account there. The video will drop tonight on YouTube and I'll post it as soon as I get a chance.

In the meantime, check out the lyrics... and [livejournal.com profile] mrowe, tell me if you don't think this could totally be Bucky Barnes' post-WS anthem!!!! I have a feeling I'll have it on auto-play while I'm working on Mr. Fix It.....

[Intro]
It got a mind of its own and it stings

[Verse 1]
Look up, don't make a noise or bend
Took me a minute to clear my head
Tried me calling, but the blanks won't fill
Cameras rolling, but I forgot the film

[Chorus]
Take it from me
When you start it's just a matter of time
Any minute you will cross that line
Take it from me
You never think about the prices you pay
It got a mind of its own and it stings
Take it from me
It got a mind of its own and it stings
Take it from me
It got a mind of its own and it stings
Take it from me

[Bridge]
Nothing can stop me
Nothing holds me back
Think you could slow me down?
Knock me off my track
Nothing can stop me
Nothing holds me back
Think you could slow me down?
There ain't no turning back

[Verse 2]
It don't take much for the beast to bolt
A split second too late to bring to a hold
Your hypnotized, your feet follow your sins
It's not unlike, a single rep's for good use

[Chorus]
Take it from me
When you start it's just a matter of time
Any minute you will cross that line
Take it from me
You never think about the prices you pay
Take it from me
It got a mind of its own and it stings
Take it from me
It got a mind of its own and it stings

[Bridge]
Nothing can stop me
Nothing holds me back
Think you could slow me down?
Knock me off my track
Nothing can stop me
Nothing holds me back
Think you could slow me down?
There ain't no turning back

[Outro]
Take it from me
It got a mind of its own and it stings
Nothing can stop me
Nothing holds me back
Think you could slow me down?
There ain't no turning back
Take it from me
Take it from me

I love it when my fandoms collide. :D

I'll have to go on to iTunes and take a listen. Two of their songs from the previous album are on my workout shuffle and I love it when they come up in the rotation. I have you to thank for their music!

I'm more than happy to be Kongos' Johnny Appleseed. *g* This one definitely went straight to my workout shuffle.

They really are, aren't they?? I know Kongos intends for it to be a song about tamping down your own ego, but it also fits a brainwashed assassin trying to tamp down his murderous impulses!

Yeah, that could work very well

Sometimes I wonder if my brain is now simply hardwired to apply every angsty lyric I hear to Bucky regardless of intended meaning... but in this case, the whole "war with oneself" theme definitely fits.
