Gatekeeper Julie

[Spoken: Jim Svejda]

When I first discovered this music

I was immediately struck by the fact that it had two of the key symptoms of deeply important music

Number one: it didn't really sound like anyone else's music

And number two and even more importantly:

Although it was immediately appealing

The more you got to know this music

The richer and more interesting and more important the music seemed to get

[Verse: Capital Cities]

Hey, Julie, we want to say thank you

For putting us on the radio

And tell JJ that we send our regards

He was such a nice dude

Made us feel at home

[Chorus: Capital Cities]

You're the gatekeeper, Julie, the gatekeeper

And one day, regular rotation

Gatekeeper Julie, the gatekeeper

And one day, regular rotation

[Spoken: Jim Svejda & Capital Cities]

You're going to hear a piece that might sound a little familiar

(Radio)

It's also a brilliantly-made piece and a wonderfully funny one

(Radio)

And by the way it's supposed to be funny

It's something that lasts that has all but vanished from serious music these days

[Chorus: Capital Cities]

You're the gatekeeper, Julie, the gatekeeper

And one day, regular rotation

Gatekeeper Julie, the gatekeeper

And one day, regular rotation

Gatekeeper Julie, the gatekeeper

And one day, regular rotation

Gatekeeper Julie, the gatekeeper

And one day, regular rotation

[Outro: Capital Cities]
