"Now You're Taken" is a song by Scottish post-rock group Mogwai,which originally appeared on the 4 Satin EP in 1997,then later on the compilation album EP+6 in 2000. [1]
"Now You're Taken" is the first song to feature Aidan Moffat on guest vocals for Mogwai;he later wrote lyrics and sang vocals on the song "R U Still in 2 It" from Mogwai Young Team . It is one of the few early Mogwai songs to feature vocals. It was only performed live a few times in 1997 with Aidan Moffat as a live guest on vocals in Stoke-on-Trent and at the Duchess of York pub in Leeds (amongst other cities).
The song begins with a guitar playing a quiet harmonic-laden melody,with an additional guitar playing a soft counter melody first audible at (0:13). At (0:27),the main melody of the song begins,being played by guitar and bass:
with a ride cymbal keeping the beat. After repeating the melody,a simple drumbeat enters at (0:51). The melody is repeated,until (2:21),when Aidan Moffat begins singing. A (2:41),(on the line "Will he be in the pub tonight?"),the drumbeat ends. At (3:34),the drums enter once again,and all the instruments repeat the main melody until (4:42),when the drums stop,and Moffat sings the final lines of the song ("Like a bird,a feather bed,my sister says,and we'll get wed/And I should tell you that I adore you,but I'm sure that I'd just bore you"). The bass continues to play the main melody,while the guitars play separate counter-melodies. At (6:00) the bass stops playing the melody,leaving the guitars to play the counter-melodies,until (6:51),when the song ends.
