[TheNobodycaresman]

thank you for making me question my sanity

thanks for restoring my faith in music.

Great song, this is one of my new favorite bands! I'm mesmerized by that fantastic mime dance thingy that revs up at 2:37. And I just noticed that all the women are played by the same lady (who, I've learned from another poster here, fronts a cool band called Hecuba). Awesome!!

[lookwatisee]

Why is this band not bigger than what they are....This song and great video was wired but strangle enchanting....I like the ending this is what music needs now

[volixian]

I think I can speak for us all, when I ask, whatever they are on, let me hit. xD

[baileif18]

creepiest yet coolest solo random dance sequence I have ever seen!! lol

[kiLLacHeEzAy20]

[jandyoshi]

saw this band live last night, it was a great show. They opened with this track and blew me and my friends out of the water with their performance.

Great song great video. Nightmarish.

[downtowndaniel1]

I was time jumping on night and saw this guys at Pershing Square. This is my favorite LA band, on eof my favorites. I met a well dressed business consultant that night. I bought the CD and I am going to try and make their LA show. Hollagrams is a bad ass trac, I am sprung on it. I am not programed to love anymore, but this band is feel good music to me. Keep up the good work Fol Chen!

My guess for what the lyrics are...

First the words were blue they helped us understand, but then the sounds were subtle like holograms. X4

I'm so sorry I've forgotten your name, I've forgot my own. Now this story lost its allegory, so we sing this song. First the words were blue they helped us understand, but then the sounds were subtle like holograms. X8

[infamousNfamous]

@exenstars right! except the words were "good" not blue, and the sounds were "terrible" =)

[rockerchica13]

@infamousNfamous actually the sounds would double. :)

lost its allegory

so we sing this song

I think more people would understand the song if you had read the "letter" that comes with the album. If you can find a copy of it, you'll definitely be able to get more enjoyment out of the album as a whole... but, that's just my opinion.

[infamousNfamous]

@GiddyGuava i agree! as well as listening to the album as a whole. don't get me wrong, this is easily one of the best songs on the CD but to understand it, people definitely have to listen to the rest of the CD

[rockerchica13]

@GiddyGuava will the "letter" help us understand the video at all?

[stuwatts30]

Great song, just to let people know that the woman in this video, Isabelle Albuquerque, is frontwoman of her own band, named Hecuba, which is just as good as Fol Chen (I have no affiliation with either band by the way I just think Isabelle is lovely).

[DanWallaceMusic]

@stuwatts30 Thanks for the tip! I was wondering who she was, she's great!

[victoriahj]

love this song so much. video really creeps me out.

[beeman4266]

I love in ruins so much, but I just can't stand this song.. I don't know why

[radbrent]

sooo good

[KyleDuva]

New favorite video, thanks for posting the songs on your website I like the first 2 remixes they seem to just flow like one song with this version. i love the chick she runs into in the alley! HAHA! The blond wig on the pitchers mound makes her look like Judith Light

[airebel16]

You're so righht!!! I was looking for this and finally! I love this song! Thank you for posting this.

[MrRoygbiv24]

Finally this song is on Youtube! It took long enough.
