i meant to say i love captain Beefheart. Frank Zappa meets weird poetic imaginary lyrics. Well, i guess he kind of is like a Zappa radical son. cool stuff.
I totally took on more than I could handle when bought Trout MasK Replica as my first Beefheart album. His more down to earth stuff is surprisingly approachable
@sirotahaggen That's right. NEVER listen to Trout Mask Replica or Lick My Decals Off Baby first. The Spotlight Kid, Clear Spot, or Safe As Milk are way better starting points. Not that I don't like TMR or Lick My Decals Off Baby, but you don't just go straight into them without listening to any other Beefheart albums.
We used to listen to this song, brothers borrowed barrel ale in hand, sitting on the roof, hair drenched from the lightning storm, wondering just what it is coming down the train track, we thought we heard something, or was it the song...?
but now dark the rumble hook fade or was it a thought? ...and spilling fast along the ditch, just out of sight, near the whizzing lights and watery shoosh of speeding cars, looming like a valley of ghost beasts falling to ruin in the rain, construction stole that valley, when we were punk-ass kids, rollin' tumbleweeds on mo-peds and mini-bikes with a bent to leave our mark, in the dark valley of drainage tubes under the 405 fwy.
what the hell...a trains coming for sure... better run! ~or was it just a quick jolt rumble deep passion broke up love hit the human note inside the bent up fold of this crazy song (we were just crazy kids and didn't know how exactly how awesome today was going to be remembered)?
i just started dating a woman and i told her her eyes were a blue million miles and she thought it was an original saying i came up with...so instead of looking like a genius, i turned her on to this.....once again honesty is the best policy.....chicks dig beefheart and honesty!!! and chazblitz gets the reward!!
Captain Beefheart, like most eccentric artists who drank l.s.d. by the bucket, is a genius who had a knack for surrounding himself with talent. This song is hauntingly beautiful and speak much louder than the formulaic era it was created amidst.
If I remember, this was one of Beefheart's first (slightly) commercial numbers. I mean the album it was from anyway. It's a great song.Very tasteful.I wish someone would put MY HEAD IS MY ONLY HOUSE UNLESS IT RAINS (same album, don't remember what it was called) on youtube. Danny
