@carnivalkidxx they're awesome live man, and laid back as shit... i guess cause that nashville show didn't really have too much of a big turn out.. but yeah man talked to yoni had a strange conversation about the movie benjamin button... then I was like yo let's go get drunk at flying saucer (this pretty chill bar in nashville) and they were down man even though they were constantly handing each other a body of cutty sark on stage. that night was legit
WHY? Is playing about 40 minutes away from where I live tomorrow and I don't think I have a ride.... FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.
@ebolacereal lucky bastard. do me a favor and try to tongue kiss him if you get the chance, and let me know how it was. if yoni wolf can kiss like he makes music, i swear to allah i will give up all of my pot money to travel within makeout distance of that man and could then die happy.
this is something far from a celebrity's song. in fact i would say it's more for regular every day people who are just so cashed out of this life that every day is a blur of terrible disgusting shit. the only way of knowing time passes is by comparing the rest of your shitty life and seeing what matches up.
fucking go away... aim for something more aspirational. Being a youtuber for a living means you hae to be a greedy decisive and shallow human being. Do yourself a favor, pick up a fucking instrument. Get the fame, doing something cool instead of lame.
@pliskin100 any of why's stuff..... try Waterfalls, The Fall of Mr Fifths, Song of the Sad Assassin, A Little Titanic, Early Witney, Fall Saddles, ...I tell you what listen to all of why's stuff ;)
Try looking into other bands and artists too: cLOUDDEAD, Odd Nosdam, Sufjan Stevens, SJ Esau, (anything on ANTICON RECORDS really) also try Coconut Records, CocoRosie, Casiotone for the Painfully Alone... I could go on for weeks here :D
@crewsd , you're one of those 'literal' guys, aren't ya? That's too bad really, because language is a fucking hopeless tool unless the words are played with in interesting ways, and that's exactly what's going on here; I guess you don't 'get it,' with your literal brain and such.
Is he referencing a person, or is this an allusion to some type of drug nickname I'm not aware of? Contextually I guess it could go both ways. Although it's only a few lines away from talking about his ex, I just can't shake a hunch it's a drug reference
@damiantkd1 my brother passed in December and we played Why? Cloudead and Boards of Canada at his funeral, it was great the funeral home let us play my bros favorite artist
This song gets stuck in my head every time I listen to it before work. I am a waitress and I end up singing it while I do my work haha I get in trouble everyday. All of their music is like that though for me. If I listen to any of it before work I sing it all day. My boyfriend and cousin and best friend hate it though I don't see why. Maybe I need new friends ha my ex is the one that showed this to me haha. Weird!
This is just...so good. Have only listened to the BoC mainly but i think i prefer this..definatly something i prefer through headphones rather than playing at some social event though hah..
not QUITE what I wanted to help me thank God for Jesus dying for my sins on this day.... :o be blessed all fans of this band and be open to the truth!
"if im sinking and laughing at something sunken in , i am" - meaning i am sunken in. i think this song depicts his lack of human emotion towards unusually shocking things.
No, screw that, basically all of their songs are. Like, the intrumentals are so unique and so good, so that you want to just listen, but then the lyrics are so interesting that you can't help but try to follow them as well.
didn't get the invite to your cousin's bar mitzvah..
