This week's song is 'In For The Kill' by La Roux, British Electropop duo made up of singer Eleanor Jackson and synth player/co-producer/co-writer Ben Langmaid. Heavily influenced by 80's music, La Roux's popularity has grown quietly alongside the many other female vocalists heavily popularised in 2008.
The track in question 'In For The Kill' is a powerful piece about relationships and telling people exactly how you feel no matter the circumstances.
In speaking to Steve Harris of XFM Eleanor stated "It's about telling someone how you feel regardless of what you get back, and not waiting to find out if they want you or not."
"I was quite in to someone in quite a deep and intense way and I went overseas (Paris) and told them I like them. It all fired back in my face but that's not the point you do it for yourself."
We can fight our desires,
But when we start making fires
We get ever so hot
Whether we like it or not.
They say we can love who we trust
But what is love without lust?
Two hearts with accurate devotions.
And what are feelings without emotions?
I'm going in for the kill.
I'm doing it for a thrill.
I'm hoping you'll understand,
And not let go of my hand.
I had my hopes out on the line,
Will they be ready for you in time.
If you leave them out too long,
They'll be withered by the sun.
Full stops and exclamation marks,
My words stumble before I start.
How far can you send emotions?
Can this bridge across the ocean?
I'm going in for the kill.
I'm doing it for a thrill.
I'm hoping you'll understand,
And not let go of my hand.
Let's go to war to make peace,
Let's be cool to create heat.
I hope in darkness we can see,
And you're not blinded by the light from me.
I'm going in for the kill.
I'm doing it for a thrill.
I'm hoping you'll understand,
And not let go of my hand.
