The story behind the song

"I Will Possess Your Heart" delves into the unsettling territory of a one-sided, obsessive relationship. The song's lyrics paint a picture of intense fixation, exploring the darker side of desire. Musically, it's notable for a five-minute instrumental introduction that takes inspiration from krautrock, built around a repetitive bass guitar riff and piano chords. Released on the album Narrow Stairs, this track captures a feeling of relentless pursuit and unwavering, almost predatory, affection.
