#19. Vampire Weekend - Capricorn
Title: Capricorn
Artist: Vampire Weekend
Album: Only God Was Above Us
Another year, another Vampire Weekend song on the Top 20 Countdown? Yep. That's 3 in a row, although they releases have been spaced over 11 years. "Harmony Hall" landed at #20 in 2019, while "Diane Young" made it all the way up to 13 in '13. If we're being honest, I'd say I liked "Harmony Hall" better than "Capricorn", it just happened to be the song that stuck with me this year. My other favorite from this album was "Hope", which rings in at a balky 7:57 with a repetitive piano that eventually wore down on me, while "Capricorn" kept chugging along. What interesting about this band is I wouldn't say I'm a big fan of any of their albums outside of Contra, but every album has 1 or 2 songs that I really enjoy.
Favorite Line: "Too old for dyin' young, too young to live alone. Sifting through centuries for moments of your own"
