This week’s #MusicMonday is from a band that does some incredible covers, Hidden Citizens. For “I Think We’re Alone Now” they took a song made famous by 1980’s pop sensation Tiffany, and turned it into a wickedly dark and powerful song that completely transports you. I get visions listening to this song, and when it came on my Spotify playlist I completely agreed with their note saying this is the “Epic Trailer Version” of the song. This needs to be on a fucking movie trailer, or a book trailer (hint hint) because it just bleeds with ideas. When he screams “We’re alone!” towards the end of the song over and over, I hope you can imagine your own twisted little world with me, because I always do. Scroll down and hit play before you look at the lyrics, because they’re repetitive, but they just work like dark magic. Which, if we’re honest with ourselves, is absolutely the best kind.
Favorite Lyrics
I think we’re alone now,
I think we’re alone now,
I think we’re alone now,
there doesn’t seem to be anyone around.
I think we’re alone now,
the beating of our hearts is the only sound.
“Children, behave.”
That’s what they say when we’re together.
“Watch how you play.”
They don’t understand, that it’s over.
So we run just as fast as we can,
holding on to one another’s hands,
trying to get away into the night,
then you put your arms around me,
and we tumble to the ground, and you say…
I think we’re alone now,
there doesn’t seem to be anyone around.
I think we’re alone now
the beating of our hearts is the only sound.
…
I think we’re alone now (think we’re alone, think we’re alone now)
We’re alone!
We’re alone!
We’re alone!
