Welcome back to another #MusicMonday! It’s not about books, but about music, and I’m looking forward to presenting you with a taste of my playlist. It’s the brainchild of Drew from The Tattooed Book Geek, but my inspiration comes from the lovely Claire from A Knight’s Reads. Every Monday, I’ll be choosing a song to share with you. The Spotify playlist is here and it will be updated as I go along.

On Friday, I went to a gig at Kirkstall Abbey headlined by the Maccabees. They might be coming to a future #MusicMonday, but this week I want to shine a light on one of the support acts. I knew some of the more well known tracks by The Mystery Jets, but there were a lot of other tracks I also enjoyed and I will be keeping an eye on them from now on. Today’s track is a track from the set that’s been an earworm for me ever since.

The Mystery Jets: Serotonin

Meet me in the middle of the morning
When the crows fly highest in the sky
Couldn’t you hear me calling?
I was up looking for you all night

Oh, but I never found you
No matter how hard I tried to
Oh, no, I never found you
Sarah if only you knew

Serotonin, you’re burning a hole into my heart
It felt like I was floating
But now I’m coming down off you so
Down off you so hard

Meet me at the bottom of the ocean
Feel its fingers tickling our skin
You mix your magic potion
And the old familiar feeling starts to kick in

But now it’s fading and I can’t hear what you’re saying
It feels like it’s slipping through my fingers
It’s fading and I can’t hear what you’re saying
It feels like you’re slipping, but

It’s just the serotonin
That’s burning a hole into my heart
Felt like I was frozen
Yeah, but now I’m coming up so hard

Serotonin
Hell, you’re really tearing me apart
It felt like I was frozen
Yeah, but now I’m coming up so hard

Sera-serotonin, Sera-serotonin
Now I’m coming up so hard
Sera-serotonin, Sera-serotonin
And now I’m coming up so hard

So hard
So hard
