Come through the door
A darkened room
She draws white lines to set the mood
So begin the lyrics to perhaps my all-time favorite song, "Last Night in Brooklyn" by Innerpartysystem. A symphony of bass beats and ominously catchy synth riffs, this masterpeice of a song is exactly what you would expect to hear at a dark dance club in downtown Chicago, and its lyrics telling of lust and seduction only reinforce this feeling. The beat is slow and powerful, not like your standard club beat, but with a certain darkness that makes it all the more real.
The vocals, while not displaying any notable talent, suit the song and mood perfectly, as the singer's smooth yet desperate delivery creates the feeling of urban lust that drives the song's mood. Every verse is a steady buildup to a climactic chorus, and the final chorus smashes you into a neon-lit oblvion at which point you are down on your knees, begging for more.
"Last Night in Brooklyn" is the perfect song to drive down a skyspcraper-laden metropolis at night. Imagine everyone moving to synchronized beats, late night in your Scion as neon signs pass you by. You will not find a song that better captures the mood.
