"Cryptomnesia, or inadvertent plagiarism, is a memory bias whereby a person falsely recalls generating a thought, an idea, a song, or a joke, when the thought was actually generated by someone else.[1] In these cases, the person is not deliberately engaging in plagiarism, but is rather experiencing a memory as if it were a new inspiration." - Wikipedia

[ballahallashalla]

@Kyropaladin I have had that. Like I thought I came up with Nietzches what i you keep living life over and over again when in reality I watched an episode of charmed having the same concept. I felt so stupid afterwards.

[KingCheez]

the piano *does* sound like the way omar rodriguez-lopez plays (listen to dramatic theme from manual dexterity) but i don't think that's how this song was made lol

[eljaysh]

omar and cold war kids should hangout more often : )

[erule92]

this is just plain gorgeous

[smartiipantze]

not my favorite but it's cool

[DandelionVolta]

If you're talking about Omar's band that's actually the name of the album

[Hernandezzy09]

Does anyone know what this song is about?

[wafflestuffer2]

kinda', I saw a video of him explaining it.. apparently cryptomnesia is when you copy someone, but don't remember doing it. For example you'll write a song that's an exact copy of another song but completely space out and not know

[unoriginal95]

Nathan Willet said on the dvd that comes with the cd "As I was writing the lyrics I listened to an old demo of us writing the song where I was singing nonsense words and tried to write the lyrics to what those words sounded like to kinda stay true to the idea of cryptomenisia."

[luhario]

yeah, i saw that dvd too; it really lets you see how genius artists are...

[yogihodgekins]

Da Brivido.impressiomnante.

[paperplanehghn]

maybe the greatest song of this album.amazing

[mraymond77]

I saw a video of them putting this album together, and there's an early rough version of this at the very beginning.. anyone have that whole recording somehow..?

[bkisme]

I prefer their first album, but this song is so great.

[littlenugget09]
