how could this be 33 years ago... what an awesome album.definitely stood the test of time

[chuyine]

frippertronics!

[ShadowChevap]

While listening to this, I imagine this: post-apo Earth, Sun is half way down in the sky, warm desert wind blows and the crew of the broken spaceship is sitting outside of their wreck, playing cards while this song plays on the radio. Blondie rocks everything.

[JTravis]

So THIS is the song that Nerf Herder stole the opening from, to use in the "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" theme? I *KNEW* I had herd it somewhere before, but never made the connection...

[kennethj1956]

Watching grainy black & white TV in 1950's ; turn off the tv and it fades away and radiates a glow.

[acidmanc00]

A timeless song

[CovenantOfLove]

I must come to beg for music again...It's quiet humiliating...thank you! Forever

[Rush6477]

@CovenantOfLove How did you know I am a huge Blondie fan?!?!?

Check out Their tune named T-Birds. She sings about the Mayan's Qetzecoatel

[royalnaz1]

yeah this song is awesome I really feel it in my soul

[o0ShanYe0o]

Brilliant.

[Rapsus666]

Robert Fripp!!

[BlondiEmilio]

Blondie's spirit and magic will never fade away and radiate... They just shine like the sun over all the other artists!

[newfuckingwave]

oh, robert fripp

[missjacko1]

She has a really sexy voice.

[itinerant64]

one of the absolute most underrated bands ever. genious album.

[vburm]

such amazing craft is evident in blondie's music, this is a gem of a track

[LoisDScully]

@tamerswan Well, that's what I heard! :)

[LoisDScully]

Is it about James Dean?

[sameoldfitup2008]

Blondie at their best

[blacksabbathareace]

should have been released as a single as its the best song on the album

[shaz2o10]

brilliant song

[shaz2o10]

always thought they were brilliant

[postbags1]

One of the top 10 greatest albums of all time.

[davidmadmaxx]

Exquisite sound quality like all of your Blondie videos! Thank you for posting this incredibly moving and compelling song..

B- side of "Picture this" first single (yellow vinyl) from thrid album "Parallel Lines"

[debi1830]

I first listened to this laying on my bedroom floor with the speakers either side of my head..... 32ish years later and nothing has changed. Best song on the album

[ahitler1000]

@debi1830 had a little help from a friend of mine Robert Fripp , of king crimson fame, . . .

[666tinie]

@debi1830

I can relate to that..and u are so right..nothin has changed..

[kmac100]

@debi1830 agree with you there, this song completely blew me away - way ahead of its time, sounded really haunting and futuristic, i hadnt heard anything like it before - still love it.

[elegyjay]

No WONDER I love the guitars on this so much! :) Like so many bands' first albums, "Parallel Lines" was incredible!

[lundehund44]

@elegyjay - this was actually their third album.

[whsonic]

@elegyjay 'Parallel Lines' was their second album. the first was 'Plastic Letters'. But in Blondie's case the two first records are incredible.

[sonnenanbeter89]

@whsonic "Paralles Lines" was Blondie's third album. The first one was simply called "Blondie", then came "Plastic Letters" and afterwards "Paralles Lines"

[whsonic]

@sonnenanbeter89 true, I always mix up the "P.L." albums

[doetim]

@whsonic Parallel was their 3rd actually. First was Blondie (self titled) and second was Plastic letters, than Parallel Lines.

[cshargeit]

the beginning of the song can be heard in the movie, video drome. that last verses refer to the possibility that all broadcast may transfer into space or other real time entities of the same vibration.

[rls22]

Very very smart and pretty song!!

[jeffdeanable]

@rls22 Yup!

[ly6480]

Robert Fripp on guitar...
