[Spoken: Jim Svejda]
When I first discovered this music
I was immediately struck by the fact that it had two of the key symptoms of deeply important music
Number one: it didn't really sound like anyone else's music
And number two and even more importantly:
Although it was immediately appealing
The more you got to know this music
The richer and more interesting and more important the music seemed to get
[Verse: Capital Cities]
Hey, Julie, we want to say thank you
For putting us on the radio
And tell JJ that we send our regards
He was such a nice dude
Made us feel at home
[Chorus: Capital Cities]
You're the gatekeeper, Julie, the gatekeeper
And one day, regular rotation
Gatekeeper Julie, the gatekeeper
And one day, regular rotation
[Spoken: Jim Svejda & Capital Cities]
You're going to hear a piece that might sound a little familiar
(Radio)
It's also a brilliantly-made piece and a wonderfully funny one
(Radio)
And by the way it's supposed to be funny
It's something that lasts that has all but vanished from serious music these days
[Chorus: Capital Cities]
You're the gatekeeper, Julie, the gatekeeper
And one day, regular rotation
Gatekeeper Julie, the gatekeeper
And one day, regular rotation
Gatekeeper Julie, the gatekeeper
And one day, regular rotation
Gatekeeper Julie, the gatekeeper
And one day, regular rotation
[Outro: Capital Cities]
