I Got You on Tape is undoubtedly one of the absolute heavyweights on the thriving Copenhagen indie-scene. They play a powerful combination of alt. rock and art pop. The songs are slow, brooding and mesmerizing and the imaginative arrangements are centered around the deep, hypnotic voice of charismatic lead singer Jakob Bellens who delivers the dark, thoughtful lyrics with intensity and sincerity, as well as a dead-pan sense of dry humor, lingering just below the surface.

Lyrics

I've been walking by your side
for quite some time now
And I see a working girl without
a cause
Looking for a place where you
can let your hair down
Walking in and out the same
misleading door

Now you read a lot of books
about the city
And you like to talk about
the written word
To your own eyes you do
not appear that pretty
To me that seems outrageous
and absurd

Cause my body wants to hold you
While my heart is hanging on
To all that I belong to
And the ground I walk upon

Now you say I shouldn't worry
About the things you say and do
But my soul is in a hurry
And it's you I'm running to

When it comes to time and space
you're a believer
Standing strong in all that you
know be true
Looking up into the night I'm a receiver
Every star I see is reminding me of you

Cause my body wants to hold you
While my heart is hanging on
To all that I belong to
And the ground I walk upon

Now you say I shouldn't worry
About the things you say and do
But my soul is in a hurry
And it's you I'm running to
