(Themes & Thoughts) Spin, Track 5: Creepin’ Up on You

Overview

Creepin’ Up on You is the fifth track on the Spin album.

Themes and meaning

Creepin’ Up on You is a song about infatuation, thematically it’s very similar to Insatiable, in the sense that it expresses the theme in a very over-the-top and stalker-like way. Creepin’ Up on You is a lot more fun in tone and Darren seems to almost exaggerate and make fun of himself in this stalker role. It’s a comment on how far we’ll go when we really like someone… Probably too much?

Thoughts

Creepin’ Up on You is one of my favourite tracks off Spin and it’s one of those songs that never gets old. Darren shows off his range on this song probably better than any other song on Spin, particularly this line:

I know this must be wrong
It can’t go on
This kind of thing
Is taking all my sanity and making me a mockery

This bridge flows between high highs and low lows and it just sound so appealing when it comes on. It’s also a lot of fun to sing along to with its almost tongue-in-cheek lyrics about being a creepy creepster!
