The Temper Trap - Fader



Artist: The Temper Trap
Track: Fader
Album: Conditions
Year: 2008

I'm surprised it has taken me this long to feature a song by The Temper Trap, because I absolutely LOVE The Temper Trap. I haven't come across a song by them that I didn't like, which made picking out this song very difficult. "Sweet Disposition" launched this band into popularity. I was excited to see the song finally get popular, but soon I couldn't get away from it. So, I decided to check out the rest of their album, and surprise surprise! I pretty much loved all of it. 

The song hooks me from the first few words of the first verse. The "whoo-hoo-hoo"s of the chorus are kind of infectious and may be considered by some to be generic and poppy, but whatever. I feel energetic from listening to it. I also love the lead's vocals, especially his falsetto. It's beautiful!

LYRICS:

I'm in transit
But I'm stranded on this boat
And I pledge myself allegiance
To a better night's sleep at home

And the sweet, sweet sun's comin' down
Hard, the sun's comin' down
Hard, it burns the bones
So hold a hand for cover
Hold a hand for cover
Hold a hand for cover from harm

(Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo-ooo
Ooo, ooo, ooo-ooo
Ooo, ooo, ooo-ooo)
Talk don't change a thing
(Ooo, ooo, ooo-ooo
Ooo, ooo, ooo-ooo
Ooo, ooo, ooo-ooo)
Oh, it's fadin' for ya
(Ooo, ooo, ooo-ooo
Ooo, ooo, ooo-ooo
Ooo, ooo, ooo-ooo)
Words don't sink, they swims
(Ooo, ooo, ooo-ooo
Ooo, ooo, ooo-ooo
Ooo, ooo, ooo-ooo)
Oh, it's fadin' for ya

Best
This mess we tried our best
For something we can do
While the angels walk with the lonely ones
In the cold rain and rescue you

And this fatal world's comin' down
Hard, walls comin' down
Hard, in all our homes
So hold a hand for cover
Hold a hand for cover
Hold a hand for cover from harm

(Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo-ooo
Ooo, ooo, ooo-ooo
Ooo, ooo, ooo-ooo)
Talk don't change a thing
(Ooo, ooo, ooo-ooo
Ooo, ooo, ooo-ooo
Ooo, ooo, ooo-ooo)
Oh, it's fadin' for ya
(Ooo, ooo, ooo-ooo
Ooo, ooo, ooo-ooo
Ooo, ooo, ooo-ooo)
Words don't sink, they swims
(Ooo, ooo, ooo-ooo
Ooo, ooo, ooo-ooo
Ooo, ooo, ooo-ooo)
Oh, it's fadin' for ya

(Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo-ooo
Ooo, ooo, ooo-ooo
Ooo, ooo, ooo-ooo)
Talk don't change a thing
(Ooo, ooo, ooo-ooo
Ooo, ooo, ooo-ooo
Ooo, ooo, ooo-ooo)
Oh, it's fadin' for ya
(Ooo, ooo, ooo-ooo)
[I'm in transit]
(Ooo, ooo, ooo-ooo
Ooo, ooo, ooo-ooo)
Words don't sink, they swims
(Ooo, ooo, ooo-ooo)
[Ah, sweet as a moment, be that it may]
(Ooo, ooo, ooo-ooo
Ooo, ooo, ooo-ooo)
Oh, it's fadin' for ya

(Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo-ooo
Ooo, ooo, ooo-ooo
Ooo, ooo, ooo-ooo)
Talk don't change a thing
(Ooo, ooo, ooo-ooo
Ooo, ooo, ooo-ooo

Ooo, ooo, ooo-ooo)
Oh, it's fadin' for ya
