[thewinebottle]

Esta banda tiene influencias espirituales sospechosas...

[ktduglas]

MY FAVORITE SONG EVER!!!!

[SirLokiChuffingtom]

Am I the only one who likes their first 2 lps but not much since?

[darklily1313]

amazing lyrics-amazing



[LedHead74]

You guys make me feel guilty for loving the whole god damn song ..

[StDamian]

@LedHead74 Hell to the fuck yes on that one, dude. Every single sound of this song is beautiful.

[Yeahyeahyeah1964]

cough cough cough

A song about addiction

cough cough

much better on cd or vinyl

cough

[facecheek]

@Yeahyeahyeah1964 I personally like this song muddier&uglier quality, like smashing pumpkins recordings, so i disagree w/ the vinyl thing, but yeah about the addiction thing.

[wmotamedi]

@facecheek Oh that's disappointing. I have Siamese Dream on vinyl, but I haven't actually heard it yet, because I don't have a record player. But are you saying that vinyl versions sound cleaner? I can't say, because I haven't heard any. But that sounds very interesting if true.

[cancanwench]

@Yeahyeahyeah1964 I thought "the widow" was about addiction, and this is just the kid's obsessive search for his mother's killers and him going crazy for the next six or seven tracks (okay, i haven't heard "frances the mute" yet, but i mean to catch the origins of this creepy tale).

[kirkhammit1]

The whole Frances The Mute album is a very sad story.

[Tetramputechture]

The only thing I don't like about this song is the bird noises at the beginning. It's like Cicatriz ESP but the whole song.

[SonsOfSauron]

@Tetramputechture The only bad thing about TMV, honestly. I want to listen to music, not noise.

[sksknight]

@SonsOfSauron 1:30 there ya go and you're welcome 

[SonsOfSauron]

@sksknight Haha, thanks man!

[andthemushrooms123]

@SonsOfSauron I know what you mean but most Volta albums are concept albums or tell a story, the noises are things that help describe what the character is doing, or they show the character isn't doing anything. Omar said that in an interview.

[TheDanification]

Miranda Warnings to the Mars Volta;

You do NOT have the right to remain silent.

Anything you play to will be heard by millions of fans.

You have the right to your instruments.

If you cannot afford a sick guitar and wah pedal, one will be provided for you.

[1Foggia]

[AlgoVaSalirVT]

Entre medio de los rostros parece formarse un alfil por ilusión óptica, como la del Jarrón de Rubin :)

[isilando]

[mrgreen767]

it starts when the music does,which is a great thing,thanks for the upload!!!ha

[perrottafamily]

@MissLollipop86 Full song is 13 minutes.

[chercherchercher]

sounds like suicide.. sounds cool

[Kraized]

Lol. When I read the title of this song I was all "What ghost... okay it isn't holy anymore..." that whole time I wasn't thinking about ""The Holy Ghost"" (Had to double quote that)

Yea, I don't believe in any God and all religions no matter how cool some might be are:

Dumb

Proof of ignorance within the Human race

Might not be a complete waste of time, but its a waste of time

etc...

[moderjoker]

@Kraized Hit that bong once more

[RorySinn]

@moderjoker :D you told him

[SimplyShadow]

great song.

[chadiusryan]

You're high off your ass if you think this is the whole song.

[OakleySprits]

Hey guys guess what. You can't upload more than ten minutes so quit bitching about the whole song being on here seeing as how that would be impossible. Just enjoy what you get.

[0uterHeaven0]

yall bitch to much, shut the fuck up, great fucking song by the way, thanks for posting it

[Yeahyeahyeah1964]

@0uterHeaven0 Hey stupid ass, this is suprisingly something worth bitching about. Cutting a song in half is fucking terrible

[0uterHeaven0]

@Yeahyeahyeah1964 how about you post the full thing except of just trolling like the whinny fucking pussy you are, stupid fuck, bet you havent even been to a mars volta concert, fagget

[Yeahyeahyeah1964]

@0uterHeaven0 wolololol

I could understand them doing this at a concert, due to some time restrictions

but please, Mr. Butthurt

go be butthurt else where, like, on a nickleback page or something. Your ruining this for everyone.

[0uterHeaven0]

go to a Mars volta concert, then you can talk shit to me, I bet the only concert youve been is to a limp bizket or whatever, come back when youve grown a little bit mr cunt

[Yeahyeahyeah1964]

@0uterHeaven0 You are a very angry man. Seek better well-being.

[0uterHeaven0]

@Yeahyeahyeah1964 well youre a confused girl, seek a tampon

[Yeahyeahyeah1964]

@0uterHeaven0 What the hell is wrong with you?

[0uterHeaven0]

@Yeahyeahyeah1964 whats wrong with me? I dont even know what youre talking about, but if it cures your curiosity.....a lot

[greenbanana9]

yeah this is part one. haha.

[KingKrimson89]

@MissLollipop86 it's almost the full song, but they're right. It's missing the instrumental at the end.

[BlackAcid1313]

This song is amazing... who cares if it's not the full track? The important pieces are all here.

[pearljam227]

the song is like 30 min long, but its cut up into like 5 different parts.

[simguy612]

Settle down...Lets not lose our heads here...

[kingkhizzan]

dude you guys gotta relax on the whole cutting the song in half thing. i love the mars volta but honestly recording traffic going by and crickets and stuff is hardly anything to give writers credit to. i could make an entire cd composed of planes going over my house and call it art.

[infamousNfamous]

@kingkhizzan frogs, not crickets.

[LordWilliamAmon]

@MissLollipop86 calm down lol

[mysoultheunderground]

If you thought this was the whole song, where did you think the rest of the lyrics you posted belonged?

[volta69k]

the last 3 minutes are omar on guitar and flea on trumpet doing a back and forth with sound manipulation behind.. best part of the song by far..

[PirateYoshi]

Yeah obviously this isn't the entire thing - the whole thing is about 13 minutes long and has that cool ambient bit at the start which builds up to the song, and then the ambient bit at the end (and then Con Safo fades in slowly, and then BOOM, CassGem.); but if we're being pedantic, what we're hearing here is the actual song. So you can see what he means.

Anyway, love this song :D

[If101284]

Frances the Mute was intended to only have five tracks, but since this meant the band would only have been paid for an ep as opposed to a full length album several tracks were split.

[eriatarkandrut]

Frances the Mute was intended to have SIX tracks. It was meant to begin with the song Frances the Mute, but then the album would be too long, so the producer didn't allow it. You'll find the song on "A Missing Chromosome". Try playing it before Cygnus. It's unbelievable :D

[eriatarkandrut]

No it isn't! I have the original album and it lasts over 13 minutes! It starts with a kind of a cricket sound or whatever, but this thing you uploaded starts at the very half of the track!

[viperxz]

@eriatarkandrut youtube videos have a time limit. i think even if we wanted to we couldn't be able to post the whole thing, and i doubt most people would want to sit through, lets say 10 minutes of random noises and 3 minutes of "song". i personally don't feel that way but some probably do.

[eriatarkandrut]

Well than it should've been posted in two parts. And the ten minutes of "random noises" are a part of the song. Why do you think they're there? Why didn't Omar just cut them and went straight to the "song"??? If you can't appreaciate it, why the hell do you listen to Mars Volta anyway? Switch to Blink 182 or sth

[viperxz]

@eriatarkandrut look back at the previous comment, i said "I" personally don't feel that way but others might.

[eriatarkandrut]

@viperxz Right! Excuse me, I missread.  :)

[Thefilthyblood]

@eriatarkandrut Yep, totally right. 13 minutes and 9 seconds to be exact.

[eriatarkandrut]

What the hell did you do? You've cut it in half... Why the FUCK would you do such a thing??? It's like cutting a painting in half because you like only a part of it.... what's wrong with you?

[fionndempsey]

@eriatarkandrut

It's not really like cutting a painting in half. Some people don't go in for the noise. It's like taking a painting out of its original gallery setting.

[byakugen]

@eriatarkandrut no need to spazz out about it guy...lol. but yea Universal Records eventually split the songs up..

[mistawongburger]

@eriatarkandrut hahaha you can't go past 10 minutes bud..

[eriatarkandrut]

@mistawongburger than you can post it in two parts right? Sometimes it's the only way. Anyhow, I've just stated my opinion. You may like only certain parts of a song, but then you don't enjoy the whole thing right? The strange ambient begining and epilogue of Miranda is there for a reason, it's a part of a song. That's why I weep listening to this upload :)

[mistawongburger]

@eriatarkandrut I just used this'n to show someone who the mars volta were, and i agree with you its part of the song and should be listened to as a whole, but whats the point in making it two parts? Lets just listen to our Volta cd's we purchased and we won't have to see this "half painting" right?

[eriatarkandrut]

@mistawongburger yeah, sure, unfortunately I don't carry them with me at all times, and that's when I find youtube useful. The truth, however is that I rather have this "a part" of the song uploaded than nothing at all :) So thank you MissLol for uploading.

[LeathrDyke09]

I love this song too!!!

[MartinVoltz]
