a good song that has a slight touch of old which sounds perfect you feel like you sit in a warm kitchen in the mid 1950's its just great the ambiente is superb just great
At 2:30 in the song the Krakow horn that plays aloud from a church in Poland is sampled.
-Krakow Bugle Player in the Church Tower-
Every hour, the bugler plays an incomplete refrain. The story is that the watchman who tried to give an alarm of an attack on the city in 1241 was shot in the throat part way through the alarm. So they honor him every hour by replaying the part of the alarm that he completed before he died.
@poxpower thats not nice, i think this music is great. and blockhead isn't the person singing its just a sample. there is no need to express your opinion if it is negative
It makes me so happy sometimes, The world creates such beautiful people, creating such beautiful music, such soul and spirit is amazing and revitalizing. I love blockhead and so many artists out there.
how happy can you look? how sad can you look? how angry can you look?
how softly can you pat your face? how gently can you stroke your hair?
how wide can you open your eyes? how tight can you close your eyes?
how wide can you open your mouth? how tight can you close your mouth?
how far can you stretch your arms in front of you? how far can you stretch your arms over your head?how far can you stretch your legs? how tight can you cross your legs? (cant fit the rest)
and theyre still blowing that trumpet every hour, each day, nearly a thousand years later.. with all do respect to the polish watchmen, but he's hardly on par with jesus..
@SirAllAboutMusic Its a very small taste of Bollywood right at the end of this song. Sounds like the inimitable Asha Bhosle to me but I could be wrong

Listening to this song...makes everything not matter as much, all the other bullshit in life... is just that, bullshit. Perfect pick-me-up...thank you Blockhead.

The funny thing is, that horn section isn't much of an alarm. It's more like a melodic tooting. If you heard that prior to an attack, I doubt you'd be turned into any sort of 'readyness' or state of emergency.
@thatsthatshit321 Haha fuckin awesome, love samples equally as much as songs that tell a story without words because the stories are within the samples.
starting at 2:29 there is a bugle-call of Kraków (city in Poland), and this sound is very well known in my country because of some historical events :)
Holy fucking shit this stuff is great!
