Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Maps (Acoustic)

After a summer that seemed to fly by far too fast, Julie (BowlingStone.com co-writer/band-mate/sister) hopped a plane back to Toronto today.  Before she left however, she burnt me a CD containing a range of artists from James Taylor to Will Smith.  Also on the CD was an acoustic version of Maps, from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, that I am really really digging today.  Maps can be found on the New York City indie/alt-rock band’s 2003 debut release Fever to Tell.  The song is far and away the band’s most commercially successful track, but it has also experienced immense critical acclaim, including the recent inclusion on Pitchfork’s Top 500 Tracks of the 2000s at position #6.

Pack up
I’m straight
Enough
Oh, say say say
Oh, say say say
Oh, say say say
Oh, say say say
Oh, say say say

Wait, they don’t love you like i love you
Wait, they don’t love you like i love you
Ma-a-a-a-ps, wait!
They don’t love you like i love you…

Made off
Don’t stray
My kind’s your kind
I’ll stay the same

Pack up
Don’t stray
Oh, say say say
Oh, say say say

Wait! they don’t love you like i love you
Wait! they don’t love you like i love you
Ma-a-a-aps, wait!
They don’t love you like i love you…
Wait! they don’t love you like i love you
Ma-a-a-aps, wait!
They don’t love you like i love you…

Wait, they don’t love you like i love you
Wait, they don’t love you like i love you
Ma-a-a-a-ps, wait!
They don’t love you like i love you…
Wait, they don’t love you like i love you
Ma-a-a-a-ps, wait!
They don’t love you like i love you…
