The Books - There is no there

[badluckrabbit]

"There is no there" as a statement is so true; because when you think about it, there is no such thing as "there," because we're all here. ^_^

[kilobasenpaar]

just can't keep myself from coming back and listening to it again. especially the second half makes me close my eyes and dance in my chair.

[SseBb]

last night, I listened to this song over 20 times. Today, I listened to it all day.

[MaybeLasting]

ME LOVE BOOKS...

[MillyBadison]

i dont know this sarah but im glad i stumbled upon these guys

[PowderPuff6000]

Wow...thought it would be too indie and predictable but I am in Love!! I feel like I am floating in outer space with a caffeine high and a high iq.

[turkeysub3000]

Sometimes I don't understand why I write poetry that ends up transferring voice to first person plural. Then I listen to the Books and I get it: it's all about identification. That's what any of this is about. We all want to identify, to belong.

[kindasketchytv]

There is no fear, there is no nothing, there is no there when The Books are doing their thing. I want to cry out words that don't exist. I feel as one with the world.

[Steadno]

reminds me of raidiohead from vanella sky

[tashynoo]

everytime this song finishes i feel empty, fuck dieting.

[mkjm4]

mm perfect bike riding music for the spring

[1013TwilightRide1013]

Thumbs up if Sarah from Clothesncounters brought you here!

[snurks]

the french at the end is from a traditional louisiana cajun song, the entire line is "[trying] to find another one like you, but you're the only one my heart desires"

I think

[themagicnaza]

@snurks What's the song?

[JBrrou]

I feel like a zombie. I mean, listening to the Books shuts up my inner voice. It's like a parental command. It calms everything.

[artandmuse]

the first minute and 13 seconds of this song will forever be to me exactly what a human life would sound like as it rewinds through its life just before the point of death. to my body, it feels like i'm swallowing all the breaths i've ever taken in one long inhale.

[sparkmedia01]

@artandmuse Slightly poetic. Made me tear up. Beautiful man.

[smurfing88]

"its so creative" "they play cello" "theirs guitars" hahaha shits funny. this still blows. and whether you like my opinion or not doesnt matter. im convinced this is crap..... oh and @ sometallwhitekid1 your a dumb ass..... damn children. F*ck this band. bahaha

[FigureSkater243]

@smurfing88 unsuccesful troll is unsuccesful. 

[smurfing88]

this shit is still weak.

[pepseye1]

and im sure the books are glad that you poeple, enjoy their amazing songs. Some of the comments on here i can understand their problems.. but i think its great... Thank you RTR FM

[cfo6915]

Does anyone else see that the patterns on the wall go along with the song?

[smurfing88]

wheres the creativity in this??? so i see they can use fruity loops boohoo. NEXT!

i want guitars, drums bass and vox in alternative music again. this electronic sample crap is done......let radio dept do their thing.

[MusicalEutopia]

@smurfing88 You're stupid, btw.

[smurfing88]

@MusicalEutopia your mom likes my nipples

[AmishMarine1]

@smurfing88

if you really think this is less creative than a full band setup, then there's no hope for you. BTW, they play guitar and cello.

[sometallwhitekid1]

@smurfing88 you really had to ask where the creativity is in this??? are you a fucking dumbass or just a fag??

you want guitars??? did you also not hear them in this song???? but reallly you asked where is the creativity .... the whole song had to be made.. bit by bit... and mixed ..im done im not even going to try to explain this shit to you... you have got to be the most small minded human on this earth if you can not find any creativity in this song

[smurfing88]

@sometallwhitekid1 bahahahaha

[musicforvickiix]

fuckin gooooooooooooooooood

[ybrik222]

"[Their] music is very unique"

[FlakatyFlakFlak]

One person is dyslexic

[FirefoxMancer]

An audio mosaic.

[Dinoiro]

To find another like you

But you're the one my heart desires

(that's the translation after the quote)

[Kooshka1313]

@Dinoiro

[elpoo]

[asemikey]

[sometallwhitekid1]

@XxCookiesLubMusic2xX its not just you :]

[hbassuki]

the fucking bleeding hearts brigade !!!!

[XxOddysseexX]

Nice song!!! I love The Books

[Mrbigboygay]

Badass song to spark it up to

[michaelxfrancis]

What is it that they are saying at 3:26? It sounds as if it is French, but it may just be distorted. I've searched for the lyrics without success. Thoughts? Thanks!

[laoda86]

anybody knows who talks in the middle of the song?

[mattstan]

Albert Einstein, actually! It's from a U.N. speech he made in 1950.

[FigureSkater243]

The man speaking in the middle of the song is Albert Einstein speaking on the behalf of Gandhi.

"I believe that Gandhi's views were the most enlightened of all the political men in our time. We should strive to do things in his spirit: not to use violence in fighting for our cause, but by non-participation in anything you believe is evil."

[yodasling]

@FigureSkater243 The stupid quote about the repressive, sadist Ghandi does of course ruin the whole thing- quel domage - especially since there is not evil - and only fools like ghandi and their ilk who think so and thus make our world into the polarized mess it is

[marzilyas]

@yodasling Einstein was not stupid

[marzilyas]

@yodasling there is no evil--- what fucking stone have you been living under? what a dumb ass thing to say. only somebody with an extremely limited understanding of history would categorically deny the existence of evil...i can't believe we both like the books!

[lilwolfblackfoot]

@marzilyas yo fool fry, if you understood cognition, there is no such thing as evil.

[JENNinLONDON]

very interesting..nice.

[malignantcancer2]

banjo...amazing

[Cyberwavemusic]

Favorite song by The Books. Without a doubt <3

[jamesdelacosta]

love it!!!

[ElectricSnakeHabits]

This song made me invisible and inaudible, but that's okay because there was nothing special about my voice or appearance anyways. Also, now I can rob banks and other things that would be difficult without invisibility.

[sometallwhitekid1]

@ElectricSnakeHabits hahah fuck yea man

[yodasling]

@ElectricSnakeHabits The stupid quote about the repressive, sadist Ghandi does of course ruin the whole thing- quel domage

[tzr2005]

@ElectricSnakeHabits fucking faggot, what you just wrote reminds me that there is actually meek cunts like you knocking about scared to make eye contact thinks he is so not like every one else by the music he listens to and choice of clothing but aint got the brain to realise that your the fucking same as every other festival, student going cunt

[lilwestkid]

@tzr2005 yes.

[kakabukkake0]

this song makes me feel like I am dancing inside of a computer hehe

[yourmomiswayfine]

[kakabukkake0]
