Covert Affairs

2010-present

I had better get a head start on this.

Covert Affairs is a new series on the USA Network starring Piper Perabo. Nice. I’m about three episodes in—I started just the other day via suggestion—and yes, it does have a theme song and an opening sequence.

The sequence, I have to say, looks “un-sleek.” On the other hand, the animated series is quite; no pun intended, cartoon-ish. Good show (so far), though. And a nice theme song.

The song is entitled “Can You Save Me”. It is by the band Power—an indie/pop band based in Detroit. Not much information about the band yet, except that they used to be called Apple Trees & Tangerines. Here is their Facebook page. I have not seen any public release of “Can You Save Me”. Will update the post once it becomes available.

For now, below is the full version of the song.

Lyrics

When I collapse, will you forget?

When I’m dead and gone, will you regret?

All of the constant, mocking bitter slang

And pokes when you were so upset

When you grabbed your keys, said you were gone

Helped myself out, passed the gun

And bombed my friends and family. I did well

It’s just my choices

They were wrong

They were wrong,

They were wrong,

They were wrong,

They were wrong, wrong, wrong

Can you save me?

From this nothing I’ve become

It’s just something that I’ve done

Never meant to cause you worry

Don’t you blame me

For this nothing, I’ve become

It’s just something that I’ve done

Never meant to show you my mistakes

When “us” collapse, break bonds, when you forget

All the months we spent on loneliness

Long nights, short days with conversation

That’s nothing more than arguments

I’d fix this if I could

I’d change this… you know I would

It’s been a long time coming

A long time baby

Say that you misunderstood

Can you save me?

From this nothing I’ve become

It’s just something that I’ve done

Never meant to cause you worry

Don’t you blame me

For this nothing, I’ve become

It’s just something that I’ve done

Never meant to show you my mistakes

I don’t know, I don’t know

I don’t know where I am heading

All I can tell is that you’re gone!

All I know,

All I know I’ve become a disappointment

Sorry if I’m always wrong!

All your perspectives stand

I’m not the same creature that I was back then

A slight touch hitting on its mass

I’m never coming back

Never going back there again

Can you save me?

Can you save me?

Can you save me?

From this nothing I’ve become

It’s just something that I’ve done

Never meant to cause you worry

Don’t you blame me

For this nothing, I’ve become

It’s just something that I’ve done

Never meant to show you my mistakes.

And below is the official intro sequence. The lyrics are just the last few lines of the chorus.

I just have to add, though, in the pilot, as always, they did not show the intro sequence. Instead, the titles were set atop the skydiving sequence. I thought at that time it was the theme song (which could have been way better). The song is “Dog Days Are Over” by Florence and the Machine—the recording name of English solo artist Florence Welch.

Below is the song.

Guys, I hope you enjoy this! I mean the videos. Please let me know what you think below in the comments, and see you in the next post.
