[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]
Things that make this song unfuckwithable:
- The amount of noise that makes up the first ten seconds before it all dissipates into this slow, beautiful sleep; a swaying that ought to be be self-immolation.
- Can you inspect mediocrity better than that opening line? If you can, my hat has been off to you for so long that I’d just as well not own it anymore.
- In feeling all the fragments strip away, it becomes obvious how the mess of feedback that started this offers up a confusion motif more appropriately than this thing’s refrain (“We could be anybody”) which is almost too perfect for me to comment on.
- Then let’s go ahead and bring the bass back around just long enough to remember that it was missing, and what that feels like.
- That piano/synth hangs around like my Dad might expect something out of it, without all the jackoff-bullshit that my Dad might expect out of it.
- AND, that same sound throughout the album lays the groundwork for some of the more unexplainable things that come next in Wood/Water’s procession. (I know, this is probably just me.)
- “Satisfactions”/”Saddest Factions” right?
- Don’t bother getting warmed up to this thing. It’s ungraspable. Tense as you are before a cigarette. Gone before you’ve hit the filter. Just rollin’ by.
- This is a great illustration of how eventually we all need to get back to where we started. Now Breathe.
- Noise. Noise. Noise.
