Man, you must be really cool to judge whether or not you like music based off of how many other people have listened to it. No one could ever be as unique or underground as you.
This has got to be the best song from the album. The instruments in this one are just plain brilliant. And the lyrics are ughhhhh let me go clean myself off
@PhillyBluntsDoItRite I downloaded the entire album three weeks ago, every song is brilliant. I take back the statement of this being the best. It's impossible to put one on top of another.
Bridget J., if you're somehow reading this comment and somehow know that this is you I'm talking about, thank you so much for introducing me to Why? by posting the first line of this song as your status on Facebook. We've never talked but I stalk your profile once in a while and copy and paste your statuses into Google to find new music to listen to, and discovering Why? through you was the absolute best. Thanks.
@kaygrog haha dude thats kind of creepy i mean you ve never talked to her before, do you get off to her pictures or something lmao, but hey atleast you discovered one of my favorite bands
@Emi212 Yoni explained it in a Pitchfork interview, and once you've listened the chorus fifty times like I have, it's pretty easy to discern. He just articulates it weirdly, like "Anna and Na-aAaaAHahAAH! / -than Anna and Na-aaaaaaaAAAHah" and so forth.
I'm so happy for the band, but a part of me is so pissed that they're gaining such popularity. One thought being that I don't know what the attention will do to them, both in terms of future compositions and remaining together as a group, lineup changes, etc.
@mundi420 I know exactly how you feel. Same this is happening with The Avett Brothers. Yoni is such a cool person, he came to use our white wall for pictures and it was a honor to speak with him.
for some reason i never liked the beginning. but other lyrics are just unreal like in simeon's dilemma and this blackest purse. "i wanna speak at an intimate decibel, with the precision of an infinite decimal."
Maybe, this song, a little tiny bit? But overall, not really. Yoni Wolf mixes in a lot of genres to really mark out his own territory. Alopecia's a great album, go track it down.
@Tapeleg247 In a good way. If you start to get through all their material, however, you'll find that this is not their typical sound (they are pretty prolific as far as genres go).
just listen to "Turn On Me" or "Know Your Onion" or something and then listen to this specific song (not any other Why? song) and tell me they don't kind of sound alike. not enough to be rip-off, just similar sound.
