Ocean Machine - Funeral

Song: "Funeral"
Album: "Ocean Machine : Biomech"
Artist: Devin Townsend

If you don't own this CD, there is something seriously wrong with you and you have my pity.

Just kidding.

Kinda.

Lyrics::
Jesus, here lies my brother
Tortured and blown
Stretch for the heavens and go
...I watch him go
Here it comes

Jesus was a poor boy
Jesus was a poor boy
"It's justa spring clean for the May queen"
I'm coming home

And this one's for the life
This one's for the funeral in the rain
And if only for tonight
This one's for the funeral in the rain

The day's gone and the year's gone
And I don't know when I'm coming home
I can't hold on to what I've had
When what I've had
There's nothing left at all...

So this one's for the life
This one's for the funeral in the rain
And if only for tonight
Close your eyes and try to sleep again...

A world away, you turn away
I'm wide awake, and I don't need your home
Tell me why he went, it seems to be
An element to this mystery
It's so cold today, so I get away, and I'm left behind with nothing but words...

@bunglefnm

That could be interesting... But Gavin Harrison needs to be on drums :-p

[ViperRob42]

I can't find this album anywhere :/ and since theres no more Tower Records, Suncoast, FYI, Werehouse and everywhere else aside from Best Buy the only music place around is Amoeba in Hollywood, 20min drive lol

@ViperRob42

Go to hevydevy.com... go into the main site, go to the merch page.... go nuts :).

You can buy all his CD's there.

wow, this is fantastic. surprised this wasn't a bigger deal in hard rock circles in the late 90's... it has the vibe of Jane's Addiction, with a signature Dev twist.

[muntificator]

@bunglefnm a Devin and Steven mix would be unfathomable.

Perfect song for a burial at sea

[sixthseparatist]

Absolutely amazing music flows from this mans veins, truly a musical genius of our time.

@maawous I enjoy reading comments to see others perspectives, especially with music. I would be afraid to look at comments for Metallica. Thanks for agreeing! You rock as much as this song.

[maawous]

@johncuda true! just take a look at comments on any metallica video, just loads of shitty comments about megadeth and how everything went wrong when cliff died. devy people = mellow people

[psyoptica]

I'm glad that Devin reintroduced this into his live shows. One of my favs.

[johncuda]

The Devin community on youtube is amazing, not one stupid argument, not one stupid statement , just people rocking out and sharing thoughts. Im sure he would appreciated that if he ever did notice.

I want to have sex with this song.
