This song is called Centre of the Earth. Its about his girl not loving him back, while she is the center of his earth. Single word, single vowels. Thats all she speaks to him. Single words. single vowels. yet nothing frustrates him. Karnivool are genius at song writing. I don't think they get (or ever will) the recognition they deserve. Probably the best song writing from a band ever, change ups, lyrics, melodies, drum and bass lines. Everything is amazing.
Just a comment on the name of the song, if it can prevent some people from fighting... I've just bought the CD and the exact title is "coté", which, as far as I know since that's where I'm from, means "side" in French.
They are indeed Australian but not Tool. While they are both awesome progressive rock bands, they have their own identities. This song evokes emotion that most songs lack, even in it's raw acoustic form. Great job Karnivool, keep it up.
I love TBE, probably more then Vool, mainly just because their style of music suits me more.... one of my fav bands , but from a technical stand point...I'm afraid they have nothing on Karnivool...
@disgretion Yeah same here, T B E are more my style of music too in general, but yeah these guys sound like better musicians or at least they show it in their songs anyway.
this works so well as an acoustic :D now every time i pick up my acoustic guitar i just have to play it. and taking nothing away from the original version, i love warming up my drumming to it as well :D
Is it just me or does the opening chords sound a bit like Incubus' Drive? I swear that's what I thought I was hearing until he started singing then it clicked.
Bought everything they made about 5 mos ago, didn't regret it. Still listen to it, like FLAW. If the ones who don't signs these bands are reading this, you're you hate good hard music, and your souless bodies should be thrown from a rooftop in Germany where you land lifeless on a cold cobblestone path...fuckhead.
Talking about awesome vocalists... I saw them with fair to midland... holy shit... blew my mind... he went on stage with FTM and performed musical chairs with them... it was epic...
Definitely the best display of vocals I've ever seen/heard in person
easy now buddy... he's good... he's really good for the generation right now.. but he's not all time good... he's not even the best in this generation...
@theblackspots Sticking your tongue out, moving it to the sides, and opening your mouth is a way to relax your mouth and throat while singing... but it looks so funny :D hahaha.
That crowd needs to shut the hell up and listen more.
