Blackfield - Go to Hell 2011

[XXCreed]

This Album should have been named "Aviv's Bad Day"

[oxytrebor]

According to Wilson in an interview with RockNews.info this song was written after a period of his life where underestimation and much needed progression of elocutionist and overambitious aspects of his life has weighed on his debilitating view of abolitionism regarding the stroboscopic and organized manifestations of ego.Where potentiality and fertility of most of humans has reached a boiling point of categorized yet chaotic resemblance of prominently regarding self.

[sonicadv27]

The profanity was highly unnecessary, but that doesn't make this song any bad. In fact, the strings in the song's climax are awesome and seriously i kinda understand the repetitive use of "go to hell". One of the best songs on the album.

[manicjon3]

Fantastic Just my thoughts on my ex and her death threats from new boyfriend!!!

[JuanmiSerranoEncinas]

Amazing. But I understand this is not for everyone.

[matthatmusic]

This is one of the best songs on the album in my opinion. Love it. Feel the same way daily.

[samking247]

I don't know why everyone criticises this song purely because of the lyrics. The 7/8 groove is pretty impressive and the strings after about 2 minutes are also. Sure the lyrics sound like a joke but maybe they were intended to be a joke?

[Deadwing95]

this is all aviv geffen, and it's brilliant

[arknihil]

You people are way too focused on lyrics. Pay attention to the larger album that the song fits into and context, and the attitude that it conveys. You don't need lyrics at all to create something that captures an emotion.

[sparkingconduit]

I liked Blackfield until this album came out. Talk about a terrible waste of three minutes on what could otherwise have been a decent album. This makes the whole thing seem mediocre.

[laserman987]

this song is for justin bieber

[Audioholics]

I'd like to dedicate this song to the Tea Bagger Party

[ItOffishul]

i dont care man this is has soul; bringing the "uninspired" lyrics more life than even well written ones by mainstream bands! dont like it go to hell haha jk

[ernieball5000]

sounds like rap lyrics



[TheOFFICIALeGx]

GREAT LYRICS :)

haha, nice song , he don't care

[forresterrobed]

way to go, aviv! venting + frustrations = art + rebellion

[HeavySoaddict]

*FACEPALM*

[FlyteDanny]

i dont understand how is this song ridiculous or unspired? its a great song!

[antimental]

@FlyteDanny It's one of my favorites. The simplest lyrics are sometimes the best!

[MrToolUndertow]

Think for Yourself and Question Authority! (Timothy Leary)

If you start it there will be a point of "fuck you all!".

In hope that it will never happen it seams to me that all human moral concepts are corrupted by concepts of infomation and disinformation.

Blindet by worthless and fading temtations.

Even the one eyed is king of blind peoples.

He knows that his destiny is linked to the others; straight on the way to hell.

What a fucked up dilemma..........

[jgtrace]

@helloweenarctico Men in music you certainly need some moments to meditate, fell calm, fell angry but you may also feel free to feel whatever you want ...so...go to hell!!... pretty good music going on here!! : ) nothing personal just my point of view...

[helloweenarctico]

A decent album on the instrumental aspect ruined by TERRIBLE LYRICS. I mean, "Go to Hell"... what the heck is that? Who needs to go to hell, Steven? I can't believe this album is made by the same person that did The Sky Moves Sideways. Time for Wilson to stop publishing uninspired albums and talking about today's teenagers and come back with another Stupid Dream or something like that. I really miss his older style now and I hate the direction that he took... "

[MeSh223]

@helloweenarctico

whats wrong about Stupid Dream?

[keithfan8886]

@helloweenarctico this song and most on this album was it written really buy Steven.It was mosty written exceap Wavering by Aviv Griffen.Aviv wrote this about one of his family members that pissed him off in the studeo one day.

[antimental]

@helloweenarctico The simplest lyrics are sometimes the best. But ironically, simple minds cannot understand or embrace that concept.

[eKuL1995]

@helloweenarctico Steven Wilson was writing and recording Insurgentes at the time of this album, so he didn't really have much input on songwriting and lyrics. It was Aviv that wrote this song, and who sings as well.

[marcos776]

A LETRA É LIXO RIDICULO

[BAR203407]

lol....blackfield rock!!

[Odinsgade]

6 people dont like Blackfield... FUCK YOU ALL AND GO TO HELL!!

[gogolplex74]

lame

[Gigatless]

no, FUCK YOU!

[torgotom]

Wait till your hit 40 - you will understand this song. After decades of hoping mankind can and will do better, as you near 40, Fu+k All you ass+oles is a common and valid sentiment.

[joyniptarian]

@torgotom ..I agree completely

[AllOutOfGum]

@torgotom

XD this song is about how he hates his parents for raising him around bad influences. maybe...YOU dont understand the song

[rymcmanus]

@torgotom I can imagine that might be true for those who feel like they've wasted their own life, but then again that would just be externalizing one's self-hate.

[skateNappreciate]

fuck who?

[AllOutOfGum]

@skateNappreciate his parents

[trumpetswim10]

i sing this song all the time because its so catchy...should i be worried? haha  and I think its cool that aviv wrote most of the songs because they are different, not always better but a nice change. I hope its not another 4 years though for the next album.

[ughlabughla]

This song is about Aviv's parents, at least he said so in concert today.

[GazGong]

Seems a lot like the stupid and absolutely random stuff you do to kill time on the reharsal...

[projectx69pl]

great song! Blackfield playd it in Poland in Krakow :D luv it!

[TheProggirl]

Nice lyrics.I'd love to sing it all day,lalala!

[SpecialNeeds2009]

@NjDevilsFan77 oh yeah....fuck them all ;)

[TheBlackycat]

Although I cannot stand the show, if someone performed this on American Idol I would definitely watch. Anyone else?

[Roaltar]

@TheBlackycat FOR SURE! :)

[ProgDogMan]

I'm sorry i love Steven Wilson's work and their previous works, but the lyrics ruin this album...

[petedelbeat]

All this non sense about Steven only writting 1 song it doesnt matter cos its BLACKFIELD nothing elese. great gig in manchester on 7 th april by the way

[galimat000]

Aviv is a talented writer...but is shit without Stevens grasp on it.. you can tell this album is a little weaker than the 1st two.. but still a bunch of great tunes on Wtmdna..

[PRDrum5]

saw these last night, bloody amazing.

gotta love Aviv says "this next song is dedicated to my parents"

..."Fuck you all fuck you"

[Cessate]

The only song from Blackfield that I absolutely can't stand. As much as I love Aviv, I'm thankful SW wasn't the one to write this.... "song".

Musically, it's great though.

[GMKiroshi]

Yeah this is rock

[mailedbypostman]

Reminds me of this song, except less creative in lyrics lol

watch?v=lYYF7UA52po

[Draxbonai]

Aviv Geffen and Steven Wilson prove their extreme mastery of lyric by creating a song somehow less inspired than "Friday." I'm extremely impressed by this. Is there nothing they can't do?

[BaileysBeads]

@Draxbonai Their range in creativity is marvelous.

[gogolplex74]

@Draxbonai hahaha

[serene23]

chill out people, I think the song fits my mood a great deal of the time. I dig it.

[wujekbelzebubik]

And the Award for the Least Imaginative Lyrics (Subcategory: I have no idea what to write and I don't give a fuck how it will fit to the rest of the album) of the overall music industry goes to..... !!! Mr Geffen :D Runners up are Daft punk with Around the World and Hanson - Mmmbop

[NakedDeluxe94]

People are really fucking ignorant and stupid, these comments are shameful. They all blame and chastise Steven Wilson as if Aviv Geffen has no song writing ability. Fucking idiots, do your research, and better yet...Fuck you all, fuck you. Go to hell.

[6MDMaster6]

I like the part when he says 'fuck you'.

[luna777]

To combine the simplicity of these lyrics and slightly complex instrumentation only enhances the artists direction from this perspective. With so much ego in this God given world, the notion of telling others off in song creates a sense of acknowledgment of any folk that put themselves above others. Whether because of talent, knowledge or experience. Equality is sometimes created through defensive hostility. Those obtaining wisdom would know better than to flaunt their ego in flamboyant ways.

[flashvlad]

lyrics? so what trolls;

This is art, expressed in this form, and it fits it really well, the guitar is just amazing;

Art has hate in it aswell, but i repeat, we are talking about art here, meaning Blackfield, do not start bringing in the discussion examples from "singers" wannabe.

[nhonho23]

@flashvlad

First of, not everyone who complains about something is a troll. I just don't like these lyrics, I'm not trolling you or saying this to annoy people.

Second of, I think hate is a brilliant theme. I just think the lyrics aren't very well written. I don't care if you can relate to them or not, the fact is that this is very shallow writing.

And third, if you're defending different forms of art, please don't bring down other artists for the sake of praising Blackfield or Aviv.

[Cessate]

@nhonho23 Well said.

And also 100% agreed on the Troll comment. The amount of times that YouTube pseudo-intelligent mongrels have cried "You're a troll" at me for simply having a differing opinion than themselves is staggering.

[Draxbonai]

@Cessate You're not alone. Although it is an absolute waste of time, I enjoy having them run through their circular reasoning.

[tenaciouslee90]

actually the song was written by Aviv, to all those people complaining about it and blaming Steven.

Shame on all of you people.

[tenaciouslee90]

It's like trolling on a song, FY Steven Wilson! :D

[nhonho23]

Great song, but the lyrics... they are not OH GOD AWFUL, but I just expected something a tad more smarter coming from Steven.

[keithfan8886]

@nhonho23 these were it Stevens Lyrics they were written by Aviv

[keithfan8886]

@nhonho23 The lyrics were it written by steven accually.They were written buy Aviv Griffen

[Erectoralporicy]

@NjDevilsFan77

it would've been way funny if all he said was "I don't care.."

[mailedbypostman]

post the lyrics?

[wormsinfestedfetus]

fucking killer.

[TissueRejection]

LOL this song is fucking awesome.

[primate05]

this has to be the nadir of SWs career

[MsEmpyrean]

SW is awesome...shame about the lyrics, don't really want that one coming on with the kids.

[jmsiro]

SW genius!!
