Soft Shock
Yeah Yeah Yeahs · It's Blitz! [2009]
Ever, lasts forever
Well, it's a shock, shock
to your soft side
Summer moon
Catch your shut eye
In your room, in my room
In your room, in my room
Louder, lips speak louder
Better back together
Still it's a shock, shock
to your soft side
Summer moon
Catch your shut eye
In your room, in my room
In your room, in my room
It's the time, it's the place, don't leave me
It's the time, it's the place, don't leave me
It's the time, it's the place,
Don't leave me out
Leave me out, leave me out, leave me out
Leave
Leave
Leave
Ah, ah
Leave
Soft Shock
Released on the 2009 album It's Blitz!, Soft Shock stands as a defining track for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, embodying their signature blend of indie rock and electronic textures. The song features the band's characteristic driving rhythms and the distinctive vocal delivery of lead singer Brian King, who often employs a breathy, conversational tone that contrasts with the song's energetic instrumentation. As part of the group's later discography, the track reflects their evolution from the raw energy of their early work to a more polished, dance-oriented sound that incorporated synthesizers and complex time signatures. Soft Shock remains a staple of their live performances, showcasing the band's ability to fuse punk sensibilities with electronic dance music, creating a dynamic listening experience that has cemented their status as a key voice in the modern indie scene.
